We have a new addition at RIOT.

Maggie Price is our new audio assist. Some of you may remember Maggie from last last fall when she interned with us while she was studying Audio Production at The Art Institute of Atlanta. Maggie has been involved in music and sound production since she learned to play the guitar and started writing songs at an early age. Later she started doing live sound for bands. On working in audio post at RIOT Maggie says “I love to see all the elements of a story come together to make something meaningful. Not only do I get to work with music, which I love, but sound design is another creative avenue that keeps things interesting. Good sound design draws people in, evokes emotion, and gets the intended message across.”

Maggie is a third generation twin originally from Laguna Beach, California. While in high school she moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida and before finding her niche in audio post production she joined the U.S. Coast Guard. She was a Boatswain's Mate, Second Class (E-5) and her missions were mainly drug trafficking patrols and migrant ops in the Caribbean. She also did a year of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Navy.

Welcome aboard Maggie (I couldn't resist)!

Piedmont Healthcare "Better"

Here is a spot we are really excited about! Done with our friends at The Big Table Agency, this :60 titled simply “Better”, is the theatrical component of a large campaign commissioned by Piedmont Healthcare. Piedmont wanted commercials that broke the typical hospital ad mold and we ended up with some really beautiful spots.

All the post production was done at RIOT and Company 3. These sister companies are collocated in a shared studio here in Atlanta which allows for a high level of creative collaboration. Kyle Kramb handled the Creative Editorial, Deron Hoffmeyer was the Flame Artist and Billy Gabor (Company 3) handled the color grading.

It is our pleasure to announce another promotion, that of Kacy Donaldson to the position of scheduler/assistant producer.

Kacy has been RIOT’s receptionist since 2008 when she came to us after graduating from Auburn University with a degree in Radio, Television, & Film. Most people that frequent the studio know her as the owner of the unofficial studio mascot, Marley. On her new role, Kacy says, “I’m looking forward to the new challenges that I will encounter as well as getting to work much closer with the amazing and talented group of people here”.

Here are some facts about Kacy that you probably don’t already know: She has a slight Red Bull addiction, was a student leader in college (President of the University Program Council), has a minor in Italian, can flip people off with her toes, met her husband Will while working as a scuba instructor, is most relaxed when in or around water, loves football – WDE, enjoys camping, watching movies and always has a healthy stock of red wine at her house.

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Jeremy Moore to the position of Producer, overseeing the design, motion graphics, and visual effects efforts here at RIOT.

While Jeremy has been producing projects for some time, until recently, he has also been handling the scheduling. Jeremy joined the RIOT family in 2006 as a production assistant and has been carefully honing his skills in the art of post-production ever since. In his new role, he promises to ensure all lenses are properly flared, all monsters are digitally enhanced, and all unnecessary explosions are, in fact, wholly necessary.
