Nashville-based production company Gear Seven pushes the limits of creativity, technology and possibility – and innovates like it’s nobody’s business. Alongside a non-exclusive roster of directors and production capabilities, Gear Seven offers hardware, LED volume studios and virtual production via its sister companies Shift Dynamics and Arc Studios.
Gear Seven has teamed up with LBB to speak with agency production leaders about innovations in production technology and how it’s revolutionising commercial production. This series investigates the importance of education in this area for agencies and brands and offers a fun opportunity to nerd out on all things technical, while sharing memories of their most awe-inspiring and unforgettable moments on set.
The latest interview is with Matt Blitz, the head of integrated production at creative agency DDB Chicago. Leading the production department he oversees producers, business affairs and traffic, as well as playing a key role at the ‘Works’, DDB’s internal studio. Leveraging his years of experience as a future-thinking, creative producer, he also mentors up-and-coming producers – a significant point of pride for him, next to his over 300 awards and accolades from the likes of Cannes, D&AD, Clios and the One Show.
