To the historic chocolate factory on Manhattan’s West 46th Street last night for the grand opening of Gramercy Park Studios. Those wise about New York will know that the location is nowhere near Gramercy Park; but no matter, because this is the second Gramercy Park Studios, and the first is in Soho, London.
This state of the art creative facility is a jewel in the crown of Hogarth Worldwide, the WPP-owned creative production agency. A labyrinth of corridors lead to specialist studio locations for film, podcasts, editing, re-touching and proofing (above), virtual reality, and anything else which might serve the purposes of brands like Coca-Cola, Nestle, GSK, Bose, Dyson, and JP Morgan.
Creative nerds will need to know that the studios are equipped with “Nuke, Flame, After Effects, Cinema 4D, Maya and 3DS Max capabilities,” as well as a good old print shop.
