WEST POST appoints Jones VP of Business Development
Industry veteran to guide ongoing development of 20,000 sq. ft. production-to-post center
Santa Monica, CA—January 17, 2008—Independent Post house West Post Digital, best known for their hi-end technologies and HD workflows, has hired industry veteran Tom Jones to oversee sales and marketing of the growing facility. West Post expanded into its 20,000 sq. ft. Westside location in December ‘06 and over the course of 2007, integrated a large insert/VFX stage and production offices to complete a customized production center in the heart of the SM media district.
“We saw tremendous growth in 2007 including the opening of our VFX arm, ELICIT Effects and have begun servicing a number of new clients in the commercials and music video arena,” remarks West Post CEO Todd Brown. “We still offer all our signature hi-end post services and now they’re accessible under one roof and fully integrated with a 6,000 sq. ft insert stage, a unique VFX company, and 4,000 sq. ft. of well-appointed production offices. We are excited to have someone with Tom's industry experience and contacts join West Post Digital and this is especially true at this time when we are growing and evolving—it’s great to have an industry veteran help guide us through."
Tom Jones has a rich and varied history. Servicing Hollywood’s entertainment industry for many years, he has worked with numerous companies—from his early days at Editel and TAV to his most recent post at Match Frame Video—to provide technologies and services from film and video mastering for movies to the latest HD finishing for television and new media delivery. As the newest member of the West Post team, Jones says, “I am thrilled to come on board as West Post continues to evolve. There are vast capabilities here and not only in terms of technology and talent resources; the location is brilliant—literally walking distance from many of the local media companies—and when they realize the full potential housed under one roof things are really going to get interesting on Stewart Street.”
