M3 Studios Tapped to Provide Production Expertise for “El Capo 2” While Shooting in South Florida

MIAMI – Nov. 26, 2012: Spanish-language network MundoFox is currently airing new episodes of the successful drama “El Capo 2”. “El Capo 2” will run weekdays at 9:00 p.m. EST/8:00 p.m. CST. “El Capo” is one of the biggest Spanish language series to come out of Colombia, with 2.2 million likes on its Facebook page as well as a rating of 7.1 out of 10 on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). It is also the most expensive, costing 18 billion Colombian pesos (10 million USD) to produce. “El Capo” is the story of Pedro Pablo Jaramillo, a man who becomes one of Colombia’s most notorious drug traffickers. It’s only after he’s discovered by the law that everything starts coming apart, which is where “El Capo 2” picks up.

“El Capo 2” starts with Jaramillo traveling to Miami to do two things: escape the detective who is chasing him, and break his wife and daughter out of prison. The geographical move in the TV show translated to a geographical move for production as well: after a whirlwind of schedule changes due to upcoming hurricanes, producer Lyonel Montells, almost singlehandedly brought production of “El Capo 2” to Miami for 15 consecutive days of shooting wile working with Plural Entertainment and M3 Studios. The production took place on land with car chases, crashes and gun shootouts, on the air with helicopters landing in the middle of downtown Miami, and at sea with fleets of over 15 vessels. M3 Studios handled all the logistics of vessels, stunt vehicles and coordinations, weapons & ammunition, special effects, security and even location scouting and casting. Even the Head of M3 Studios, Raul Rodriguez, was put back in action as Stuntman, Gun Wrangler, FX, Stunt and safety coordinator for the duration of the Miami shoot.

To get a behind the scenes look at the scenes shot in Miami, visit M3 Studios website at http://www.M3StudiosMiami.com, the blog section will have an in-depth look at “El Capo 2” shooting in Miami, along side crew list who’s roles we would like to acknowledge for their contribution in making “EL Capo’s” Miami based production a success for Fox Telecolombia. Action sequences included multiple machine gun shootouts throughout the city of Miami. A daring car crash where a bus sidelined a police transport unit in the streets of Downtown Miami. This scene was filmed just three blocks from the real Federal Courthouse. Viewers can see this on episode 54.

The production took talent and crew to shoot at the Fowey Rocks Lighthouse, No Name Harbor at Bill Baggs State Park, Marine Stadium, Rickenbacker Causeway, Palm Island, the streets of midtown and downtown Miami, Bayside Marketplace, Bayfront Park and even the streets of Allapatah.

M3 Studios has been in the film business for nearly 10 years, with 7 soundstages and studios available for use. M3 also has 60,000 square feet of flex-space that can be used for any production need as well as a full network of personnel available. Contact us to receive a tour or quote for your next project.

Press Release: M3 Studios, Proposes A Solution To Burn Notice’s 7th & Final Season’s Dilemma with Coconut Grove Convention Center

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

M3 STUDIOS, MULTI-MEDIA STUDIOS, PROPOSES A SOLUTION TO BURN NOTICE’S 7TH AND FINAL SEASON’S DILEMMA, IN THE HOPES OF MAINTAINING THE SHOW’S PRODUCTION IN SOUTH FLORIDA

M3 Studio’s filming infrastructure is a viable alternative to TVM’s current difficulties of shooting in South Florida

You’ve all seen it.  Roommate relationships ending the aggressive way:  clothes and expensive equipment flying out the window, pulverized soon after on the pavement below.  I’m sure Burn Notice, the veteran USA jam-packed action thriller, might wish there was a better solution to its similar living arrangement conflict with Coconut Grove, than experiencing this scene for the neighborhood to see.  Unfortunately for Burn Notice though, it doesn’t have the option of couple’s therapy like in USA’s freshman drama Common Law when dealing with the commissioners.  Lucky for TVM productions, M3 Studio’s has a solution.  We’re looking for a roommate and we see some good chemistry between us.  And trust us, we know how to treat our fellow cohabiters; M3 never opens a door with a sock on the doorknob, never leaves dirty dishes, always calls before having company, and never makes you build your own offices overnight (like some people have had to do.)  Interested in us, Burn Notice? Cause we sure are in you.

So what makes M3 your best relocation option?  While Marc Sarnoff, Coconut Grove Commissioner, suggested the drama be relocated to the upcoming Miami Entertainment Complex, is just a warehouse with the bare essentials, Fox Entertainment Studio’s Head of Production Robert Lemchen disagrees.  Lemchen said in response: “The cost of moving the show to another facility would be around $1 million,” so high because of moving costs associated with electrical wiring installation and a significant amount of necessary upgrades.  Though there will still be a cost to rebuild some of its sets, M3 Studios is a professional film facility already electrically wired, air-conditioned and ready to house television and film productions of Burn Notice’s stature.

M3 studios is a one-stop-shop, located 15 minutes from anywhere in Miami, a 122,000 sq. ft. facility that includes seven fully-equipped sound stages and studios, 60,000 square feet of flex-type space, easily transformable into production offices, standing sets, rehearsal space.  There are also four on-site parking lots that can be used as backlots for Burn Notice’s production.  M3 Studio’s is a fully air-conditioned, soundproofed, sound- conditioned 7-soundstage facility with lightning grids throughout, built in jails, interrogation rooms, un-used raw spaces, elephant doors to all stages, dressing rooms, make-up rooms, green rooms, full support areas, & plenty of backlots. We also have below-the-line capabilities, a convenient on-site transportation/limousine service and an in-house photographic studio with a large CYC wall, passenger elevators with freight elevator.  Plus, all amenities are strategically placed to provide one place to shoot, produce, edit, and master the production.

Don’t believe that a fully functioning studio infrastructure already exists in Miami? Just talk to some of our current roommates: Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Productions, Univision’s Al File de La Ley, Telemundo’s Relaciones Peligrosas & MTV’s newest series.

Oh, and Burn Notice, feel free to come tour the house anytime you’d like;  M3 is located at 4000 NW 36th Ave Miami Fl, 33142 and we can’t wait to meet you. A beautiful friendship awaits.

 

Aaron Sorkin and a Generation of Digital Multitaskers

Aaron Sorkin has made a career writing on behalf of idealism. His films and shows – including “A Few Good Men,” “The West Wing,” “Moneyball,” and “The Social Network” – often feature heroes or anti-heroes on quixotic journeys to dismantle and remake the status quo. At the tenth annual Wall Street Journal: All Things Digital Conference, he discussed his own quixotic battle with a modern audience of distracted multitaskers who want their news in 140 characters or less while engaging with multiple screens (Laptops, tablets, televisions smartphones) at the same time. He also offered insights into his writing process while discussing two upcoming projects: “Newsroom,” a new HBO drama chronicling the behind the scenes conflicts of a cable news channel, and a Steve Jobs biopic based on Walter Isaacson’s biography on the late cultural icon.


For a plethora of reasons, television is replacing Hollywood for a lot of the quality cinema being released these days. This change can be viewed through the migration to smaller screens by Hollywood regulars like Dustin Hoffman and Michael Mann (Luck), William H Macy (Shameless), Thomas Jane (Hung), Claire Danes (Homeland), and Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire).

Our appetite for condensed media and instant results has shrunk has evaporated our attention spans from a whopping twelve minutes, to a paltry five, according to this study http://socialtimes.com/attention-spans-have-dropped-from-12-minutes-to-5-seconds-how-social-media-is-ruining-our-minds-infographic_b86479. At one point, it was a whole twenty minutes. This gaping hole in our intellect has created a wide chasm that comprehensive writers like Sorkin must learn to cross. The way his audience watches his work has undergone a facelift. He’d be the first to admit that his material doesn’t make for good “background” music. It requires active participation and concentration, but the medium of television gives home court advantage to other distractions. The living room has become the wild west of digital ADD.

We don’t just watch TV, the way we do when we go to the movies, where we’ve invested (by purchasing a ticket) in the content and where social rules (for the time being) still frown upon using a cell phone in the theater. At home, we sit in front of the screen, check email, order stuff from Amazon, talk on the phone, get NBA, NHL, and MLB updates, while delegating our remaining brain capacity to absorb whatever content is playing on TV.

With millions of potential distractions competing for our attention, how does an old school craftsman like Sorkin change his approach? He doesn’t. He writes the “same way as the guys who wrote I Love Lucy” because “Storytelling is a very old art form, and the important parts of it don’t change at all…I still worship at the altar of intention and obstacle.”

The conversation also covers the accessibility that the digital age offers to aspiring filmmakers, where Sorkin comments on the fact major studios are no longer needed to finance start ups. Anybody can make a movie. But at the end of the day, you still have to “distinguish between what’s good and what’s bad. He also marvels at the intuitive trend of modern technology and cites how many toddlers can pick up a tablet and instinctively know what to do with it. If he could ask Steve Jobs a question, it would be “What’s that magic trick?”
