Black Watch Productions Talent, Experience and Versatility is what Black Watch brings to the production of TV Promos and Upfronts, and we have been doing so since the very first promo we did for Food Network back in 2000. Since then, we have expanded our clientele considerably, as well as our scope and our reach. Over the past year, we did a complete rebrand of HLN, for example, shooting On-Air Talent in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Scripted, Unscripted, green screen, cooking competitions, short turnarounds, wacky locations, rare props, difficult talent, all of the above-we can handle it.
