About Us
October Skies Productions, Inc. (formerly Robinson Design, Inc.) has been built on high quality work that is cost effective. Our clientele can attest to the professionalism and creativity that has molded and formed our company. We are a small team that can give great attention to the individual client. We have several years of experience (since 1991) in the broadcast production and post-production realm, working on such projects as the NBA on TNT, corporate training videos for Coca-Cola, Ford commercials for advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, and recent projects for Metro Brokers / GMAC Real Estate. We believe that every project, no matter what the size, deserves a high quality solution. And now, with high definition video, the power of video is even more stunning.
David Robinson
President, Video Editor and Motion Graphics Artist
In the early 1990's, during a six month internship at Editworks (currently Riot Atlanta) video post-production facility in Atlanta, GA and while attending the Art Institute of Atlanta, David fell in love with the post-production process. He absorbed all aspects of the business, but gravitated towards the graphics department. He was soon given the opportunity to learn what he could about 3D animation and the Quantel Paintbox system, tethered stylus and all. He took full advantage of this opportunity and was given small project responsibilities during the internship. Upon graduation David was hired full time by Editworks. During his initial years with Editworks, he created many 3D animation projects for local and regional clients and served as graphics and animatics support for editing sessions at Editworks. David later switched gears toward compositing and effects work when the company purchased a Flint compositing system and later a Flame. During this time he worked on projects for clients such as J. Walter Thompson, Coca-Cola, several Turner networks and the Atlanta Thrashers. By the end of his tenure with Editworks, David was also editing :30 commercials in the Flame and pushed the system with pre-feature film work for Coca-Cola. Along the way David honed his client and project management skills and learned the important aspects of the relationship between client and artist.
After nearly 10 years with Editworks and too many name changes to remember, David decided to join his wife, Mary Eadon, at their own company, Robinson Design, in 2001. However, David continued to do freelance work for Editworks for such clients as Delta Airlines, HGTV and Discovery Home Channel. With faster systems and much better editing and composting software coming to the desktop level, David knew the economics of video production and post-production were changing rapidly. With David's knowledge of high-end production and post-production, he believes the ground between very expensive and low budget is a place to offer a high-end production without the high-end costs. And this is the belief that he has brought to the video services at October Skies Productions. Whether it is an instructional video for IVC, U.S., a marketing DVD for Renaissance Communities' latest property development, or a 30 second commercial for Metro Brokers / GMAC Real Estate, David believes each and every project demands to be treated as if it was a Hollywood blockbuster.
Mary Eadon Robinson
Graphic Designer
While attending college at the Atlanta College of Art, Mary Eadon began her career as a designer creating advertising print material for several retail outlets in the Atlanta area. This work could be seen in such publication as Creative Loafing, UR, Southern Voice, and INK Nineteen magazines. After a few years of freelance design work, Mary Eadon was hired by the graphics department at Todd-AO/Editworks in 1995 where she met David, her future husband. While at Editworks, she was responsible for creating art work and paintbox type of material for broadcast television and corporate videos. She worked closely with clients preparing incoming materials to be used by the graphics department and editing suites. She was also responsible for producing work with an animation stand which greatly enhanced her knowledge of video composition and the operation of video equipment. One of her favorite projects with the animation stand was a Turner Classic Movie documentary about the movie Ben Hur. Clients that Mary Eadon worked with included J. Walter Thompson, TCM, TBS, TNT, WCW and LaFace Records. While at Editworks she also continued to do print design, contributing to and completing layout of Editworks' marketing materials.
After leaving Editworks, Mary Eadon started her own design company, Robinson Design. Some of her new work and clients included creating in stadium jumbotron graphics for Auburn University Football, in show graphics for WCW Monday Night Nitro and creating logos and identity packages for several film production companies, including Fireside Films, Storyville Pictures and Sedna Films. In recent years Mary Eadon's work has been focused towards music and outdoor advertising. She has designed and created CD packages, flyers and advertisements (featured in Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now) for several independent musicians and music festivals. Her layout and design work for Eyeball Media and Adason Media has been the advertising centerpiece of several pay shelters, shuttle services, airport terminals and trash receptacles in metro Atlanta.
Mary Eadon says her and David's two daughters, Alexis and Ashby, are the source of her inspiration and creativity.
