PROPULSION MEDIA LABS ADDS VETERAN VIDEO EDITOR

Video Editor and Shooter Michael Edwards Returns to the Propulsion Staff

Malvern, PA – March 5, 2013 – Propulsion Media Labs announces a new, but familiar, member to its production team: video editor Michael Edwards.  Edwards brings with him over 10 years of experience in the video production field.  A graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Edwards helped establish Propulsion’s video production department in 2003, and worked as Senior Video Editor with them until leaving in 2008 to hone his editing skills elsewhere.

Now back after 5 years, Michael is excited to be back in the Propulsion fold.  “I feel like I never left.  We’re busier, that’s for sure, but the atmosphere, the people… it’s all the same.  I’m really excited to be back.”

The addition of Edwards now gives Propulsion its 4th video editor to go along with its 3 audio producers. It also gives Propulsion another shooter, both on location and in-studio.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am to have Mike back,” says Chris Craft, President and owner of Propulsion.  “He was such a key member of the team while he was here before, and will be even more so now.  His eye for production, his talent, his speed, and most importantly, his personality and sense of humor is an asset that adds to the company chemistry.”

The hiring of Edwards is the second recent addition to the Propulsion team, along with the acquisition of new production equipment and a brand new, redesigned website.

Propulsion Media Labs is a Malvern, PA based audio and video production facility, working for a national roster of clients over the last 20 years. They provide commercial post-production, camera-crew services, and voice talent casting.

PROPULSION MEDIA LABS LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE FOR 2013

Newly designed comprehensive website with targeted samples and searchable database of over 1,000 audio and video samples

Malvern, PA – February 4, 2013 – Propulsion Media Labs announces a total redesign and restructuring of its website which is now live on the internet.  The first major website overhaul since 2007, the new Promedialabs.com features over 1,000 audio and video samples sorted by industry and style in a user-friendly, searchable database.  TV and radio commercial samples are broken down by industry categories such as restaurants, furniture stores and sports events, and by style categories like upscale, funny, clever and hard-sell.
 
Known as a broadcast production leader in the retail automotive advertising world, Propulsion devotes a special section on the upgraded website to that portion of its client base with a huge library of spot samples sorted by every automobile manufacturer and spot style.  
 
“We constantly get requests from clients and prospects looking for recent work we’ve done.  They want to see specific samples of spots we did for places like lawyers, banks, fitness centers, etc.,” said Chris Craft, President and Owner of Propulsion Media Labs.  “Our goal was to simplify the process for folks, and give them access to a huge amount of content right at the tip of their fingers online.”
 
Additionally, the revamped website introduces 6 new voice talent signed to what Propulsion brands as “The Top 100 Most-Qualified Non-union Voice talent in the Country.”  As with the commercial samples, the talent audio snippets are categorized for easy reference.

Propulsion Hall of Fame Inductee #8: “The Sopranos – Season #2 Premiere” for HBO (1999)


It was just reported last week that several of the stars of HBO’s hit series “The Sopranos” will be reuniting to take part in a new movie on Nickelodeon called “Nicky Deuce”. This announcement jogged our memory to 1999 when HBO called upon Propulsion (then still called Paul Turner Productions) to produce a series of regional radio spots promoting the season two premiere of the Sopranos.  The spot at the link below ran in the Baltimore market.  #63 Jon S is the announcer.
