Oxygen Network has acquired syndication rights to the hit-series Glee; plus airing a 2011 reality show to find the next Glee star. SkinnyMan just finished mixing the Anatomy Media produced tape that is being used to promote the buzz. As a matter of fact, It’s so buzz-worthy that we’re not even allowed to show you the tape. Sorry.
So until they start airing, here’s a Glee logo to tide you over.

SkinnyMan’s very own Roy Harter has returned from playing keyboards and theremin with UK musical collective, “The Fabulous Good Time Party Boys”. Under the musical leadership of Phil Johnstone (Robert Plant), the now legendary Fabbies have become the must-see-act on the UK festival scene. This year’s stage theme was “horror”, and the madcap band certainly delivered. This years tour included a performance at Beautiful Days, were they were joined onstage by Mark Chadwick and Jon Sevink, from the headlining band The Levellers, for a rendition of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”.

SkinnyMan would like to welcome a new client to our studios. HarperCollins Publishers were in to record the entire Deepak Chopra audio book chapter of his new book/film ‘The Shadow Effect”.

The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up ten minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential.

Combining the wisdom of three world renown authors, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.

TV Land was in producing an integrated marketing spot for one of their sponsors, Denny’s. The spot features a broadway-styled musical theatre performance that takes place within an actual Denny’s restaurant.
SkinnyMan handled all the music composing, arranging, singing talent casting, recording, final mixing and sound design of the spot.

Production management was handled by Tiffany Mitchell. Kudos to TV Land’s Kevin Hartman. Not only did he produce and direct the commercial, but we also got him to play guitar on the track!

SkinnyMan had a great year at the 2009 Promax/BDA conference. This international festival is the world’s largest entertainment marketing, promotion and design event. It’s kind of a big deal in the world of television.

First off, we had one of the MSG Network spots we mixed, being used as an example of great sound design during Promax/BDA’s “Best of Cable” presentation. This spot also earned us a Silver Award in the “Best Sound Design” Category.

As if this wasn’t a big enough honor, we were also asked to sound design and mix Robert Redford’s four-minute video introduction. He was being honored with a lifetime achievement award.

Our awards this year included:
Best Sound Design – MSG Network “Heart of New York”
Anatomy Media
SILVER

Best Sports Open – New York Rangers “Open”
Anatomy Media
BRONZE

We would like to thank the incredibly hardworking and talented crew at Anatomy Media for giving us the opportunity to mix these projects, and making this all possible. And of course, all the little people…

Liz Williams has been busy at SkinnyMan producing some Nick at Nite sponsored menus for Outback Steakhouse. While sound designing these spots, we realized three things:

1. Roy needs to practice his Didgeridoo more often.
2. Roy has in-fact declared himself a virtuoso of the Rainstick.

-and finally-

3. While a boomerang will NEVER find it’s way back to the office window it is thrown from; the NYPD will ALWAYS manage to figure it out!
