Hummingbird Productions, a renowned, multi-award winning film and sound production company which has built its reputation as one of Americas leading producers of commercials, sound design and original music, has achieved a truly rare accomplishment - it's 40th Anniversary milestone this month. The company's celebratory party was held at the company's headquarters in Nashville on October 20, 2016.
Founded by iconic advertising industry ad man and music composer Bob Farnsworth in 1976, the company has established itself as the longest standing music commercial house in Nashville, TN, and the Southern U.S. Hummingbird Productions is the second oldest such company in the nation.
Regarding his company's 40th anniversary, Farnsworth said, I am ridiculously thrilled and delighted to have been spearheading Hummingbird Productions for four decades! Our team and I have worked with the most wonderful creatives in the world on thousands of national, regional and local campaigns for every conceivable product, service and brand across every media platform. I consider myself blessed to have reached this milestone, both on a professional, as well as a personal, level.
Farnsworth's encouragement to the artistic world is this: I think I have made about every mistake there is to make on this journey, from my first commercial, which was so crazy that I literally got thrown out of the agency, to falling off the Conductor's Podium - flat on my face - in front of the entire Philadelphia orchestra while rehearsing the commission I had composed for them. But you just have to get up (literally in that case) and keep on going, because someone out there loves you.
Seen in accompanying Group Photo, Hummingbird Productions Team Members: Joshua Stark, Michael Carnes, Evan Weaver, Dylan Steppeler, Haley Bussell, Aaron Howard, Bob Farnsworth, Kimberly Kolber, Chris Esposito, Willo Collins, Karen Espenant, and Matt Thompson. Farnsworth is presently working on a book, entitled 40 Years On Music Row. His book will be a collection of his strange experiences that demonstrate how - much like in sports - It ain't how many times you get knocked down. It's how many times you can get back up. Concurrently, Farnsworth will soon be launching, on November 1st, Bobcasts, a brand new online blog and podcast series which will present crazy, funny and poignant stories that all relate to the idea of perseverance. The entries featured within Bobcasts will be culled from chapters of his upcoming book.
Hummingbird Productions, which, in addition to its history of providing original music and sound design also produces commercials, web content and corporate communications, spearheads these projects by integrating its team of directors, sound designers, and its music group, using the Hummingbird's FUSIC production process, which integrates the sound and music from the VERY INCEPTION of an idea through to the end.
Hummingbird boasts membership in the Clio Hall of Fame for its Budweiser Frogs commercial - renowned as one of the Top Ten TV spots of all time - and its many other award winning ads for companies like Coca-Cola, Dodge, Oscar Meyer, Wrigley's gums, Kellogg's, Target, and a host of other international, national, regional and local businesses. The Clios are the esteemed international awards for the creative business, founded in 1959 to celebrate high achievement in advertising that pushes boundaries and establishes new precedent. Hummingbird is renowned in the industry as a leader of that charge, winning awards year after year throughout the course of its forty-year history.
Expanding upon his unique business style, Farnsworth adds, Basically, we take a team approach to every project by bringing together directors, sound designers and composers to work in tandem throughout the production process. Historically, everyone has tended to be compartmentalized. With what we call our FUSIC process (the fusion of film and music), we bring everyone around the same table, right from the very beginning. Hummingbird's goal for future TV and web advertising campaigns is to create true moments of FUSIC: to strive for at least one such moment in every piece of film and music work they do. Hummingbird demonstrates their FUSIC process dramatically - and regularly, around the United States - with directors who think audio and with composers who think visuals, and with content creators who always start a project with the importance of sound at top of mind.
RECENT FUSIC PROJECTS:
Among Hummingbird's recent FUSIC projects are:
** Dolby Atmos: Dolby's promotion of Dolby Atmos is the newest technology of speakers for movie theaters. Hummingbird was chosen to carefully integrate - or Fuse - sound with promotional video, directed by Hummingbird's Garrett Nantz. Dolby took this promotional video all over the world to demonstrate the best audio visual movie theater experience possible. Hummingbird created the con- summate FUSIC piece, blending multi-directional sound and top quality video. Please see: https://vimeo.com/116592767
** I Am Israel documentary: Hummingbird has teamed with its award winning director David Kiern to score the entire score for this documentary, which the Knesset plans to air for the 50th anniversary of the Unification of Israel. Hummingbird has scored two other full documentaries with Mr. Kiern, including Journey to Everest and Living Hope. See: David Kiern's Missions reel: https://vimeo.com/105199225 and Journey to Everest Trailer: https://vimeo.com/25041130
** St. Thomas Hospital system (Clio Award nominee): Hummingbirds full orchestra score was a major contribution in the BOHAN Agency winning Gold in the Addys, and also being a Clio Award contender for this Nothing Shall be Impossible campaign. The remarkable thin
