HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Deluxe Entertainment Services Group announced today that Next Element by Deluxe, a file based post production service, will integrate its operations into Encore and Level 3 Post, two post production facilities for TV that were acquired by Deluxe earlier this year. Bill Romeo, Senior Vice President, of Television for Deluxe in Los Angeles will oversee the expanded operations of Encore and Level 3, located in Hollywood and Burbank, respectively.

Encore and Level 3 Post were acquired by Deluxe in late 2010 as part of the Ascent Media Group acquisition of business units. The newly-combined offering allows for a more streamlined workflow for customers and provides an unparalleled breadth of creative talent and file based service for the television industry. This strong LA presence coupled with integrated operations in Vancouver, Toronto and New York, now allows Deluxe to provide seamless services for television productions regardless of location.

“We’ve integrated the best from Next Element into Encore and Level 3 to streamline the business and consolidate from three locations down to two, both with solid file based capabilities,” said Bill Romeo. “In doing so, we have increased efficiencies, improved the overall client experience and created one of the most robust file based offerings in the TV industry.”
