ARMONK, NY – Production Resource Group, L.L.C. (PRG), has acquired New York-based Pow! Pix. The acquisition marks PRG's entry into the rental of post-production equipment and services, specializing in on-site editing for live event and other broadcasts. For over 15 years, Emmy award-winning Pow! Pix has provided equipment and engineering services to clients such as ABC, CBS, NBC, HBO and MTV. Projects include: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report, Olympic venues, the Super Bowl, reality shows, game shows, corporate events such as product launches and numerous documentaries. Post production facilities in central New York City include seven editing suites and two mix rooms, one of which is a Dolby HD 5.1 Surround Sound mix room. Pow! Pix principal, Bob Barzyk will continue with the company as vice president of post-production.

 

"This is a huge opportunity for us," said Barzyk. "Pow! Pix clients will benefit from PRG's global reach and massive resources. PRG has frequently provided audio reinforcement, video displays, lighting and other services on the same events where Pow! Pix was providing remote editing and live streaming services, so we are now in a unique position to bundle our services."

 

"For some time, PRG has been interested in developing a media services division to offer remote editing equipment and services to our live event clients," said PRG vice president Mike Perrone. "In addition, our clients increasingly require streaming of their events, which we can now provide. Pow! Pix has an excellent reputation in these areas, as well as in creative and workflow consulting. With the launch of PRG Media Services, we can now offer these services globally, or from our post production facility in New York City, or from any of our locations in North America, Europe and Asia."
