Together, Steve Muckerheide and Rick O'Hare have over 40 years of studio and post-production facility management experience. From Twentieth Century Fox and Columbia/Tri-Star Pictures, to Todd A/O and The Walt Disney Studios. They have planned, implemented and controlled the worldwide technical roll out of home video VHS and DVD, Advanced Television Standard film to video mastering, and Digital Cinema. Both Steve and Rick have worked toward the notion of Worldwide Home Video Day-And-Date release of Motion Pictures by reverse engineering the post production process that is both more efficient and cost effective. With responsibility and accountability for hundreds of millions of studio post-production and mastering dollars, the boys have risen to ever changing technical and delivery requirements from large studio operations. phone: 414.272.5248 fax: 414.223.4386 233 N Water St #303 Milwaukee, WI 53202 www.backlotimaging.com In Hollywood: Rick O'Hare o: 310.376.7790   c: 213.300.8368 ricko@backlotimaging.com In Chicago: Betsy Johnson 630.428.3456 betsyj@backlotimaging.com In Milwaukee: Chris Johnson 414.272.5248 chrisj@backlotimaging.com Recruiting: Mike Singer 262.246.9719 mikes@backlotimaging.com At Backlot Imaging we create graphic, animated, and live action imaging that enhances motion picture, television, and corporate productions.
