Recently, Nielsen Media Research ranked Bravo as the No.1 rated television network in adults 18-49 with the season finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. This latest series focuses on five New Jersey Girls who, even in this economy, are living a larger-than-life affluent lifestyle. Sirens Media, based in Maryland, is the production company behind this hit series. This is Bravo's latest Housewives series following on the heels of the other successful Real Housewives franshise hits: New York, Atlanta, and the initial series, Real Housewives of Orange County.
Sirens Media brought in Henninger Media Services to perform a variety of post-production services. Henninger provided audio mix, color correction and duplication services for the ten-part series. Henninger Senior Colorist, Lauren Meschter, stated, "Real Housewives of New Jersey has been a thrill to work on. Sirens Media has been great to work with because they care a lot about the quality of the final product. And let's face it, this show is pure octane!"
This high-energy feeling about the series is radiating throughout the halls at Henninger. David Hurley, Senior Audio Mixer, stated that, "I am in love with the Real Housewives ladies. They have completely captured my attention, and I am happily anticipating next week's reunion episode."
Henninger has been busy this spring working on other high profile projects, including the following: the full production and post-production of Great Escape: Final Secrets, which is currently slated to air on the National Geographic Channel later this year; the promos for Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch series and Animal Planet's Zoo Tube vignettes, both in collaboration with Sapling Pictures’ Keith Jodoin; and doing high definition film transfers on our Spirit DataCine for a World War II series for the History Channel, produced by Lou Reda Productions (air dates to be announced).

Washington area’s Henninger Media Services helps bring history into homes around the world.
January 20, 2009, Barack Obama is inaugurated as America’s first African-American President. The world watched the day’s events, and ABC provided the first-ever view of what happens post-inauguration—the glitzy inaugural balls.
But how do you bring the First Couple’s first dance into the homes of millions of Americans? Arlington, VA and Washington, D.C.-based Henninger Media Services provided ABC and White Cherry Entertainment with the media and production solutions.
Executive Producer, Ricky Kirshner and Director/Executive Producer Glenn Weiss, had just days to edit all story features and graphics packages that needed to be rolled in live for the Obama-inspired, Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration television production.
“VIDEO FOOTAGE CAME TO US ON EVERY FORMAT YOU COULD THINK OF…” – Henninger DC Chief Engineer, Dave Komes.
The Neighborhood Ball dealt with nearly a dozen different formats of incoming footage. Formats included standard DVD, Digi Beta, XDCam from ABC News, and tapeless P2 cards from remote shoots.
“Henninger Media Services found time-efficient and cost-effective ways to convert all of these formats to 720p,” (the broadcast standard for ABC) Jim Mullen, the Field and Post Producer from White Cherry Entertainment said.
“XDCAM standard-definition footage needed to be upconverted, the P2 material had a different frame rate, transcoded quicktimes needed to be converted, plus we had to extract video from raw MXF files. And it all needed to be output at 720p HD,” said Henninger’s Senior Editor on the project, Jef Huey. Both Larry Duke and Kevin Barker were integrally involved in the editing process as well.
Three edit rooms were set up at the company’s Washington, D.C.-based facility. The 17th Street location was a few blocks away from the action, both on the mall during the day, and at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center at night.
Henninger staff and the visiting White Cherry Entertainment staff worked around the clock to complete all of the on-air pieces.
“Many of our staff members stayed overnight in the edit suites and offices in order to beat the January 20th traffic rush and security lockdown,” said Robert Anderson, General Manager of the Washington, D.C. Henninger facility.
Simultaneous edits and shared storage between edit rooms via the Facilis Terrablock, enabled Henninger Media Services to pull off an amazing and historic production feat. Twenty-first century media technology brings twenty-first century political change to life.
