 Warner Bros. Pictures, in case you haven't heard, has been in the moviemaking business for over 75 years, and is one of the most widely recognized industry brands in the entire world. They produce, distribute, license and market many of the biggest moneymakers in any given entertainment year.
For several years now, Warner Bros. has heralded their most prestigious releases with digital press kits, the twenty-first century compact alternative to the bulky printed-matter press kits of yore. These DPK's go out to newspapers and media outlets from coast to coast, and are an accompanying accessory to the filmmakers' press junkets.
Dub-It is the primary replicator of Warner Bros.' press kits. We've handled the DPK's on such titles as: The Matrix Reloaded, the Harry Potter series, Scooby-Doo, The Power Puff Girls, and Christopher Guest's docu-comedy, A Mighty Wind. We stamp 'em, we face-print 'em, we package 'em, and we get 'em where they need to go. |

 This ongoing series from Karen Nachtman's Mind Your Music (in association with Scholastic Books) matches hip-hop and R&B recording artists with illustrators to create powerful original stories that “resonate with kids in a fun, hip, and educational way.” The musicians actually write the stories and contribute a song for the CD (including both the artist's original and a rap-along version), which Dub-It replicated and subsequently packaged with a special children's booklet. The stories deal with themes of good sportsmanship, tolerance, and hope. LL Cool J, Doug E. Fresh, and Shaggy have all contributed both their literary and musical efforts to the series.
When executive producer Rachtman needed a company that could coordinate and facilitate the manufacture of the CDs for Hip Kid Hop, she came to Dub-It. We managed the project from replication to assembly, and Hip Kid Hop found its way into just about every grade school in the country. The folks at Mind Your Music are still singing our praises. |

 We shouldn't have to tell you who Mercedes-Benz is, or what their C-Class Sports Coupe looks like. So, when the automotive giant wanted to tempt the world into test-driving one, they called upon the advertising experts at Rapp Collins Worldwide. Working in conjunction with interactive production company Critical Mass, RCW created a showcase for Mercedes' C-Class Sports Coupe as a giveaway for test-drivers. As their job entered the final lap, they took a pit-stop at Dub-It.
Dub-It manufactured 250,000 mini-discs in our New York plant on Dub-It's own mini-disc mold, did the replication from RCW's master, created the custom dye for the mini-disc cardboard sleeve and matched the colors on both the packaging and the disc to the sweet green coupe they were using in the campaign. The rest, as they say, is automotive history.

 USC Annenberg's Norman Lear Center is at the forefront of academic and professional media studies, combining policy-oriented activism with outstanding research and teaching. Their Reliable Resources program was created to help generate conversation and ideas on improving broadcast political coverage.
They gave Dub-It a vote of confidence when they asked us to project manage the VHS run of their program, “How to Improve Television Political Coverage.” Not only did Dub-It create their dubs, we handled all their printing and packaging needs as well, assisting this worthy organization in the creation of a bold and dynamic final product. |

 From educational videos to historical documentaries to full-length features, TuneIn Entertainment, Inc's Pocket PC Films puts “big films in the palm of your hand,” compressed and ready for viewing on Pocket PC and Palm OS systems. Using their innovative "Smart Transfer Technology," Pocket PC Films can transform any handheld computer into a mobile entertainment center.
TuneIn chose Dub-It to produce the entire Pocket PC product line in multi-title sets like “Fright Night,” “Funny Flix,” and “Stooge Deluge,” a 12-volume series in all. Compressing several films for inclusion on one CD helped TuneIn save on face-printing and packaging costs.

 Founded in 1995, Cure Autism Now is a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research related to treatment, and the ultimate cure, of this terrible disease. CAN is the single largest private funder of autism research and has raised or directed over $5 million to support research projects such as AGRE - the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE). AGRE is the world's first collaborative gene bank, containing information on families with more than one autistic child.
In March of 2003, CAN and PR agency Edelman Worldwide needed a DVD for a large-scale charity event, and sought Dub-It's Video-to-DVD transfer service. With an eight-day turnaround on the project, the good people at Cure Autism Now were more than happy with the end result. |

 A few years ago, The Asylum partnered with Tribe and Hollywood Video to produce and promote the First Rites series, in which first time independent directors got their own showcase section in all Hollywood Videos stores (and Rogers Video, their Canadian counterpart). The intent was to give these up-and-comers a “marquee” opportunity by exposing their films to the more daring among Hollywood Video's rental customer base.
Dub-It got the greenlight for the entire run of the “First Rites” film series, replicating four to six titles per month, throughout the the run, for both the US and Canadian markets- more for this project than any other in our history. |

 Monaco Coach Corporation, headquartered in Coburg, Oregon, is the number one manufacturer of class A motorhomes in the world. Monaco has been a public company trading on the NYSE since 1993.
When Monaco wanted to repurpose their back catalog of motorhome operational videos, they contracted Dub-It for the job. We are currently at work transforming their entire library of high-quality DigiBeta masters to DVD, providing authoring services, integration, DVD replication and VHS duplication for the whole series.
Each Monaco coach comes equipped with a DVD player, and chances are, Dub-It's DVDs are the first you'll see when you rent or purchase a recreational vehicle from Monaco.

 Fallon Worldwide is the creative mind behind BMW Films' popular short film ad campaign, The Hire, now in its second season. An imaginative leap beyond traditional commercial spots, The Hire series places BMW's automotive product line in the foreground of character-driven, action-oriented short films helmed by an A-list Who's Who of Hollywood's hottest, and coolest, directors.
When BMW and Fallon wanted to make their online film series available as a DVD, Dub-It became the hire for the job (pun mildly intended). To date, Dub-It has replicated three sets of DVDs from the original masters, handled the screen printing for the disc-face artwork, and delivered the work on-spec, on-time, and on-budget. The Hire, himself, couldn't have handled it better. |

 Sea Studios Foundation's The Shape of Life is a true, scientific odyssey- an exploration of the flowering of evolutionary diversity on Earth from our humble, though incredibly complex, oceanic beginnings.
When Monterey-based Sea Studios wanted to present The Shape of Life on a two-volume, four DVD set, they brought in Dub-It to give form to their vision. We did the DVD replication for a four-volume set in double disc Amaray packaging with extensive four-color case-wraps and inserts. The results were nearly as beautiful as life itself. |

 Revolution #9 is an independent drama about one man's painful descent into paranoid schizophrenia. The film toys with the methods and conceits of a mainstream thriller as its protagonist begins to suspect he is a pawn in a vast corporate conspiracy that uses the media to manipulate minds. Sadly, he is less than a pawn to the mental health system that has the power to help control his madness. It's a powerful and disturbing piece of work about the nightmare of mental illness and how it affects the lives not only of those who suffer from it, themselves, but the people who love them, as well.
Director Tim McCann conspired with Dub-It to make his dark vision available on DVD.
Dub-It is a great supporter and promoter of the independent film community, and our mastering, duplication, replication, and custom packaging services are a terrific resource for independent filmmakers looking for an affordable way to project their work to a wider audience. |

 Ed Marszewski's Select Magazine is a Chicago-based quarterly arts journal whose creators pride themselves on providing exposure to cutting-edge artists from every corner of the globe.
Select showcases the most unique emerging artists in a wide array of creative media, ranging from music, film, and animation to design, painting, mixed-media and performance art.
The digital version of Select contains underground music videos, avant-garde animations, audiovisual tone-poems, and a virtual sprawl of artistic esoterica.
Select chose Dub-It as its digital media replicator for no less than three of its DVDs. We stamped and printed these minimalist mini-masterpieces not just because we love art, but because that's what Ed paid us to do. |

 Stan McClain is a director and cinematographer whose work is probably known to you... even if his name is not. Stan specializes in aerial cinematography, and his work has been featured in such films as: Superman, The Blues Brothers, Rambo, At Play In The Fields of the Lord, Basic Instinct, Tombstone, Drop Zone, Seven, Contact, and Any Given Sunday. Stan has also shot over 250 TV commercials in his storied career, winning several awards for his commercial work.
When Stan was scanning the horizon for someone to replicate his show reel, his eyes landed on a singular pillar of reliability... Dub-It. We did our job: replication, face-printing, and packaging... and Stan continues to do his.
DVD is the perfect medium for show reels for directors, DPs, and actors, and Dub-It's DVD authoring services can truly 'up the ante' in reel interactivity. |

 Tommy Video creates 15-30 second animated motion backgrounds for use in many aspects of video production, from network news broadcasts to television advertising to personal use. Utilizing state-of-the-art software and equipment, Tommy Video's detail-oriented graphics wizards painstakingly edit every frame in order to render seamless looping animations in PAL and NTSC formats.
When Tommy Video wanted to take a six-volume series of their animated loops on DVD-ROM to market, Dub-It stepped into the foreground. We replicated the six-disc set from Tommy Video's original masters, and we did it the Dub-It way: on time, on spec, and right on budget. More of Tommy Video DVD-ROM titles are on the way. |

 In the earliest days of the Vietnam War, the 11th Armored Cavalry, known to its 3,762 fighting men as the Blackhorse regiment, made an amphibious landing at Vung Tau, in South Vietnam, under the command of William Cobb. Theirs was a reconnaissance mission aimed at ferreting out Viet Cong rumored to be concentrated in the area.
Executive Producers Stephen Grudenic and Jason Heit have assembled battlefield recordings, never-before-seen footage, and contemporary interviews that shed light on the Vietnam experience from the point-of-view of the men who fought there, and those that managed to survive it.
Dub-It was proud to be Blackhorse's choice when it came time to commemorate these stories of tragedy and courage on DVD and VHS. From replication through to case-wrap printing and package assembly, we handled this project with the care and respect it commanded. |

 Janice K. Albert, P.A., MBA and William P. Keenan, J.D. are the strategic minds behind HealthCare Strategies, Inc. Their stated mission: the effective management of clients' healthcare risks and the ongoing effort to educate these clients in making informed decisions about their own healthcare.
Dub-It carefully managed the replication of digital CD bizcards for HealthCare Strategies, Inc.'s HealthReach Predictive Case Management and Maternicare programs. The 70mb rectangular cards were manufactured at our New York plant using Dub-It's bizcard mold. HealthCare Strategies employees now utilize and distribute the bizcards to promote awareness of their programs and services. |

 Julie Stav, a registered and licensed stockbroker, has been offering sound financial advice in plain language since 1979. Her stated goal in life is to guide the financially naïve to Wall Street shortcut that lies just around the corner.
Julie's programs have aired regularly on PBS stations nationwide. “Get Your Share” was produced at KCET, right here in Hollywood. KCET is one of only a handful of public stations regularly producing quality programming that is broadcast on sister stations all over the country.
When the time came to create a VHS version of Julie's program as a membership premium for a recent pledge drive, KCET invested their trust in Dub-It. |

 Developed over a decade ago by Pastor Robert Lewis, Men's Fraternity provides men with a life-affirming process that teaches Christ's model for living a life of authentic manhood under God's direction.
Employing workbooks, video retreats, and audio sermons, the Men's Fraternity series is currently in use by pastors and church leaders the world over. The curriculum has been proven time and again to aid churchgoing men in better understanding- and facing the challenges of- biblical manhood.
Men's Fraternity called upon Dub-It to project-manage 15 titles in its Great Adventure series. Rising to the challenge, we manufactured a complete set of training CDs as well as videos on both VHS and DVD.

 Created as an “edutaining” audiovisual companion piece to Bonnie F. Wind and Tina Dorman's potty-training masterpiece, No More Diapers is a fun-filled musical romp that can turn the stress of toilet training into a guiltless pleasure... make your child feel like the biggest kid on the block.
Pictures Entertainment and Sunwoo Entertainment gave Dub-It a ring when it was time to bring No More Diapers out on VHS and DVD. We handled the duplication, replication, packaging and printing for both formats, and pushed the whole job through our system in next to no time.

 Since 1980, Herbalife has been changing lives with its line of nutritional and personal-care products. From weight-loss to skin care, Herbalife is a market-proven leader in providing lifestyle solutions not only for the consumer, but for the prospective salesperson as well. In just over two decades, Herbalife has expanded its organization to six continents and continues to span the far-flung corners of the globe, adding new customers and distributors to its corporate family.
When Herbalife needed three regionally-formatted DVDs as handouts for an annual international conference, they brought the job to Dub-It- naturally. The corporation's worldwide distributor-base required that the discs be formatted in two PAL versions—one for Europe and one for South America and Asia—and standard NTSC format for its North American sales team.
Need multiple formats now? Ask Dub-It how!
