Largest Cakewalk Ever

A film for everyone

�Shark Night�

After arriving by boat at the island-based family lake cabin called Camp Shark Bite for reasons that she has always lacked the curiosity to explore, Sara tells her friends to strip down to their swimsuits and expose their tasty flesh for three days of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, Sara begins to wonder if they’ll have to cancel the weekend’s sexy banana-eating contest. As the co-eds try to escape the island in a tiny speedboat, Sara sees an enormous shark in the water and gravely intones, “We’re gonna need a bigger brain.” (Opened Sept. 2)

�Contagion�

When a young mother (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns from Hong Kong feeling unusually fatigued, she attributes it to jet lag or to lingering stress over having been made to watch an octopus she’d ordered at a restaurant be killed at her table by the waiter. Forty-eight hours later, however, she is dead. “Contagion” follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the worldwide medical community races to find a cure, pundits begin to wonder if the bigger “contagion” isn’t the panic and paranoia that are sweeping the land. This prospect presents disease researchers with the biggest quandary of their careers: “Is it possible to inoculate against a metaphor?” “Contagion” promises to be tough going for germaphobes, but – considering how early one of the lead actresses exits the film – a veritable cakewalk for Paltrowphobes. (Opened Friday)

�Warrior�

Shell-shocked ex-Marine Tommy Riordan (Tom Hardy) returns to his hometown and convinces his father (Nick Nolte) to help him prepare for a mixed martial arts tournament.

When it comes to SONAR, many of us often just think of recording and creating music for one medium, but there are many people out there using it in other ways.  Pristine Productions is a company based out of Philadelphia that has been using SONAR for many years to record Major Label artists; only not in the traditional sense…

Week-in and week-out, Ron Cote and his crew are found working with some of the biggest names in the business such as Shinedown, Disturbed, Stone Sour, Staind, Avenged Sevenfold and most recently, the undeniable Adrenaline Mob who are currently making a huge mark in the rock world.  When I say “working with” I am talking about a platform beyond recorded music that extends into the depths of capturing the whole “concert experience” on video.  Ron is hired by Major Labels and directly by bands to go into the trenches and capture those moments that give us all goose-bumps; those moments where a guitar solo just sounds way better than it did on the studio version of the song; or those moments where the lead singer delivered an inspirational melody he/she should have put on the studio record.

What a dream-job right?  Well if you ask Ron, his answer is yes and no.  YES, because it is an absolute thrill to be working with all these bands in this capacity – NO, because the pressure and details that go along with these productions are enough to make your life-years turn into dog-years.  If you really think about it, every night that Ron has a production his reputation is riding on the fact that he can satisfy the demands of a manager, a label (usually,) and a top-notch band that most likely has a few colorful personalities to it.  And, in this “what-have-you-done-for-me-lately” day-in-age that we live in, it would only take one catastrophe for major clients to start looking in other directions for their video needs; but Ron is not worried about all that, he and his crew have their process down like clockwork.
