Del Padre Digital Selected A Winner In The 35th Annual Telly Awards

Online, February 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The first video "Proficient Signature Series" is an online promotional feature to introduce Proficient Audio's new flagship Signature Series loudspeaker and subwoofer. The video was shot on a RED Epic and conveys the exceptional performance and features the elegant seven-layer, high-gloss black finish on the products.

The second award was a product launch video for Proficient's MaxTV, a slim-line, under-TV loudspeaker system featuring hi-fidelity sound and Bluetooth capability. The video was created to demonstrate the dramatic differences between TV sound and the MaxTV.

Director Nino Del Padre achieved these goals using a combination of live action, stock footage and sound design. "The challenge was to illustrate the sound from the sub-standard TV speaker system compared to the home theater quality sound coming from the MaxTV. I ended up using hyper-real sound for the images shown on the TV when the MaxTV is turned on. Working with thousands of sound effects to pair with the TV content was a huge task."

"We blended dozens of different sounds for each shot such as sounds of a jet engine and an explosion for a gulf swing, bullet ricochets for rain drops hitting a flower and cracking ice for a time-lapse shot of a plant growing." said Del Padre. The Bronze Award was for outstanding Sound Design in a Internet/Online Commercial.
