Just wanted to share with my favourite community in the world some big news in my world today......
"Sim Video Merges with Bling Digital!
TORONTO, Ontario (November 13, 2009) - International equipment rental house Sim Video announced today their merger with Toronto based production service provider Bling Digital. The merger, subject to the usual conditions, expands Sim Video's current service offerings beyond camera and post production equipment rentals to now include Video Assist Packages, On-Set Data Management and Digital Dailies Services from their Toronto headquarters.
"Digital production has seen incredible growth over the past few years and with that, new challenges have been raised for producers. We've been looking for new opportunities to expand our services for some time now but we needed to find the right fit for us and for our clients" said Rob Sim, President and CEO of Sim Video International Inc. "We recognized that while we've been very successful in providing camera and post services for many years, we were not adequately servicing our clients on the steps between. What drew us to Bling Digital was their expertise and knowledge in developing and implementing on-set solutions. We quickly recognized that their most valuable resource didn't lie in their high-tech equipment but more so in their staff. Their team brings a whole new skill set to our company that will help us provide a better range of services to our clients."
Bling Digital is a relatively new company and they have experienced great success over the past few years primarily servicing the commercial production market. The company is best known for their highly reliable on-set data management solutions and recent expansion into digital dailies.
"Tapeless camera systems like the RED ONE have really pushed the need for more specialized services. Producers are always looking for ways to better manage their workflows and we've developed proven systems that allow them to work more confidently and efficiently in digital formats." said Chris Parker, Co-owner of Bling Digital. "There is a great synergy between Sim and Bling given that we're both client-focused, technology-driven companies. Our services complement one another and together we'll be the only provider able to offer a complete range of A to Z production solutions."
Bling Digital and their staff will be moving to Sim Video's Toronto headquarters on January 1st, 2010. Once the integration of services is complete in Toronto, Sim Video plans to branch those services to all other Sim Video locations across Canada, the USA and China."
