HBO Taps Definition 6 for Post Production on the Entourage Retrospective and Derek Jeter 3K Promotional Campaign
HBO tapped unified marketing agency, Definition 6, for two
major post production projects that included editorial, sound
mixing and graphics for a retrospective of the network's hit
show Entourage and an exclusive promotional campaign for Derek
Jeter 3K, focusing on the Yankee captain's quest to join the 3,000
hit club. The Entourage retrospective is a thirty minute tell-all,
which first aired on July 7, 2011, highlighting the last eight
seasons of the hit series, including exclusive interviews with
creators and behind the scenes footage. The highly stylized
promotional campaign for Derek Jeter 3K features a look back at his
career during the past ten years, and what it means to him to be a
part of an elite club in baseball history.
HBO has a long standing relationship with Definition 6, which
began with the launch of Entourage eight years ago. Definition 6
worked on the production and visual effects design of Entourage's
well-known show opening title sequence, which has become as much of
pop culture as the show itself. Definition 6 worked on a number of
other promotional campaigns for the hit show, including recent
editing work on the image campaign for the final season with HBO's
Creative Director David Roofthooft. Since Definition 6 had
worked so closely and grown with the Entourage brand since its
inception, Mr. Roofthooft felt it was only fitting for Definition 6
to edit and mix the retrospective piece.
"There are a lot of 'look back' shows out there, and we wanted
something different. We asked Definition 6 to come up with a
game changer, and they delivered," says Noah Lerner, Senior
Producer at HBO. "We had high expectations to begin with, and
the team at Definition 6 once again found a way to exceed
them."
"When we premiered this retrospective, the reactions from the
cast and crew said it all, with a hearty and touching round of
applause, it made us extremely proud to be a part of the show, and
exemplified the extraordinary talent at Definition 6," says Ian
Flaherty, also a Senior Producer at HBO.
In addition, Definition 6 also produced numerous Entourage promos
that aired prior to the retrospective on-air
dates.
"It is a real testament to our unified model - even in the
post-production side of our business - to be able to bring together
our editors, mixers, and designers for dynamic clients like HBO,"
says Rob Ortiz, Managing Partner at Definition 6. "Our relationship
with HBO has evolved to encompass a variety of projects over the
last several decades, consistently producing the highest quality of
work. We look forward to continuing our journey
together."
As for the Derek Jeter 3K campaign, the promo spots ran in early
July which led up to the launch of the full show on July
28th. They can also be seen on HBO Connect.
