Burbank, CA, October 20, 2010 –(PR.com)–
AlphaDogs Post Production is pleased to announce completion of the new
reality show K-Ci and JoJo Come Clean. Completely non-scripted and raw,
the nine episode series examines the duo’s hard road back to sobriety
combining intense medical treatments, physical training, and spiritual
therapy. The show airs on TVOne beginning October 19th at 9:00 EST with
two back to back episodes.
Executive Producer Carl Craig chose
AlphaDogs Post to do the post production on the show due to the tight
budget and time constraints. Facilities Manager Paul DeCham comments;
“Due to budgetary constraints between the client and the network, this
project was a real challenge. But in typical fashion, we were able to
both satisfy the client and network with a quality “look” for a very
reasonable cost.”
A unique challenge presented itself during
post-production when a dead pixel was discovered on one of the cameras
used throughout production. All shots from this camera had to be
repaired by finishing editor Sean Stack who used a special filter to
seamlessly fill in the dead pixel area. Stack comments; “Being able to
overcome production challenges in post makes for a rewarding experience
as an editor. We kept the client happy and delivered a perfect master on
time to the network.” Keeping a consistent and thorough workflow for
the audio mix during the short turnaround time was also a challenge.
Audio mixer, Isai Espinoza used the Waves Noise Reduction and Cedar DNS
One plug-ins to reduce hiss and remove crackling and popping that can be
introduced during production. Espinoza comments; “Facing time
constraints, the use of Waves compression, equalization, and other tools
on a Pro Tools HD2 system allowed me to stay within budgetary
guidelines, fix any problems, and deliver a fine polish to the sound.”
In
the series, a camera team follows R&B artists K-Ci and JoJo for 30
days beginning at the Prometa Treatment Center where they receive shots 3
times a day to reduce the urge to drink. Based loosely around the AA 12
step program, the show chronicles the determination and strong measures
being taken to stay sober. Apologies to babies mamas and a visit to a
funeral home to view the sobering reality on where a life of alcoholism
can end, are just a few of the realities visited in the series. To
assist in their recovery there will be appearances by Pastor Jamal
Bryant, R&B legend Charlie Wilson, actress and celebrity life
stylist A.J. Johnson, recording industry mogul André Harrell, and their
Jodeci band mate, Devante Swing.
K-Ci and JoJo Come Clean is
produced by Executive Producer, Carl Craig of Ultra Wave Vision
Productions in conjunction with the group’s manager, Damon Jones.
