Throughout its history in the industry, Interface Media Group has worked with numerous clients on various types of projects. Notable projects include:
Interface Media Group was approached with the task of coordinating the post production and finishing of philanthropist Ted Turner's film Avoiding Armageddon.[13] The eight-hour documentary series was created to raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the growing access to them.[14] For this project, IMG created an integrated approach with the documentary's production staff by setting up special offices for all 30 employees. Having all works done under one roof allowed the team to not only navigate changes to both the context and content, but also keep up with the tight schedule. In the end, this program aired in the U.S. on PBS over four consecutive nights in early spring 2003 as the war in Iraq raged and the effects of weapons of mass destruction were at its peak.
Comcast partnered with The Newseum to create an immersive experience for a collection of more than 200 civil rights era news clips.[15] IMG created a customized interactive touch-screen kiosk where users could navigate these historical clips, some dating back to the 1960s, using a range of factors (name, date, location of event, topic, etc.). The success of this project led to the UX/UI design being reprogrammed for an online version and the National Civil Rights Museum.[16]
Premiering in the fall of 2003, K Street, a weekly Sunday night docudrama on HBO that mixed fiction and reality on the K Street in Washington, D.C.[17] Produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, the series centered around members of a fictional lobbying and political consulting firm rubbing elbows with real politicians and lawmakers, wheeling and dealing, spinning and twisting, trying to skew national politics, policy, regulation and law to their paying client's advantage. The challenge for IMG, one of the series' production studios,[18] was creating concepts each week based on real ongoing political news. Each unscripted episode began with weekly morning concept development then filming began with five synchronous hand held cameras. IMG set up an editorial suite on set, to immediately digitize and edit footage. After the around the clock editing was complete, it was sent off to IMG headquarters for color correction, audio mixing, film graining, audio playback and packaging. Each episode was mastered and quality controlled by the end of the work week and ready for its Sunday night debut.
In 2003, then New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton partnered with Simon & Schuster Audio to publish an audio book alongside the release of the hardcover book Living History. They chose Interface Media Group to record and produce this seven hour recording, marking the 3rd time IMG worked on an audio book for the former first lady.[19] The previous books included It Takes a Village and Dear Socks, Dear Buddy.
In 2017 PBS launched a new, nationally broadcast, children's television channel to play PBS Kids programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.[20] IMG helped PBS Kids created teasers, promos, channel packaging and other branded content which totaled to over 220 elements for the roll out of the new station.[21] With a task this large, every department from audio and editing, to design and animation, pitched in to complete the pieces on time. The 24/7 station premiered on 107 PBS stations, which covers 90% of the U.S. TV households, on April 21, 2017.[22]
Intelsat, a leading provider of global satellite communication services, wanted a media wall in their headquarters to showcase their impressive fleet of satellites.[23] IMG embraced the challenge of designing content for the massive 24 monitor display. our design team created a 3D photo-real animation of Intelsat's entire fleet as they orbit around a gleaming earth. Select satellites will expand periodically highlighting the launch date, model, and coverage area for each. IMG worked closely with the Intelsat team to not only reflect the important detail of the animation but also as a technical consultant for installation of the wall. Because of the success of the wall, IMG continues to create new products for Intelsat's ever evolving brand.
In 2016, IMG worked with Events DC to create a 360 video to showcase their venues and events that happen throughout the year. IMG capture footage from multiple Event DC properties including Stadium Armory, The Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and RFK Stadium.[24] With the goal of immersing the viewer into an event, 360-video created an environment where users could look around freely throughout a scene, giving them the feeling of presence. Being one of the first management companies to utilize this technology allows Events DC to pitch their properties as the destination for hosting events.[25]
