Phoenix-based azPTP has been providing fully equipped production crews to major studios, television shows, ad agencies and corporate clients since 1999. They offer complete post production editing, audio, color correction and cleanup services with the latest equipment, and they’ve got global experience in 6K, 5K, 4K and HD, with offerings from script to screen.
azPTP’s work has appeared on the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC), on sports outlets in the form of news magazines and features (Fox Sports, ESPN, HBO Real Sports, PGA Tour, The Golf Channel, NASCAR Images), in corporate presentations (Ford, GM, Walgreens), in documentaries (Last Picture Show, Chronic Insomniac), and in independent films (Home Front, Letters From Home, The Princess of Ahwatukee).
In 2009, leveraging their extensive experience in broadcast television, azPTP expanded their focus to include more cinematic endeavors, specializing in high-resolution digital cinematography. Shooting primarily 5K on a Red Weapon, azPTP also accommodates budget-minded clients who want a high-end look but can’t afford 5K pricing by using specialty camera options. For editing, azPTP started out using Avid Media Composer but has transitioned to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
