RPG was founded during
the days of traditional filmmaking – the
days of flatbeds, grease pencils and Mylar. Through the years we have
integrated our film knowledge with evolving technology. Today, the
past and present come together and our experience in both digital media
and traditional filmmaking is producing exceptional results for our
clients.
Rick and Pam Gordon founded RPG to produce original programming
in health education and children's
science — with a commitment
to programming that entertains, informs, and above all, inspires.
An early project that embraced this philosophy was Space Center
Houston. RPG was contracted to co-produce and write all video material
for
the pre-shows, shows and interactive programs for NASA's Visitors
Center. Over the years, similar projects followed from Neil Armstrong's
First Flights to Tom Hanks' From the Earth to the
Moon to nWave
Picture’s
Fly Me to the Moon – the first ever CGI film designed, created
and to be released solely in 3D.
Our Digital Projection projects have ranged from Steven Spielberg's
Movie Magic for Universal Studios Japan, The Star
Of Destiny for
the Texas Spirit Museum to Lincoln’s Eyes for The Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Museum and Library. Our long history of film-based projects
includes National Geographic’s Lewis and Clark: Great
Journey West and the Academy Award nominated Beauty and
the Beast.
Today, RPG is ideally positioned to leverage our long history
to offer our clients the highest quality of service. Since the
founding
of the Company in 1982, the expansion of our services is an ongoing
project in itself. In 2002, we opened our large format screening
room with 15-perf and 8-perf projectors, and began offering 70mm
Quality Control and Distribution Services. In 2009, we installed
Cineform’s 3D tools for editing and playback in 3D.
While working with pixels, we haven’t forgotten about celluloid
and sprockets. Bringing the two mediums together, we supervised the
film restoration and digital mastering of such classic series as
The Little Rascals, Laurel & Hardy and Fat Albert
and the Cosby Kids. We recently completed preserving the legacy of Gene Autry,
best known around the world as “The Singing Cowboy”.
