Flickerlab Creates a Graphics Package for the Kings of South Beach

For A&E Network's original movie Kings of South Beach, based on the true story of the rise and fall of mob-connected Miami nightlife impresario Chris Paciello (called "Chris Troiano" here), FlickerLab, the New York-based development, design and animation studio, created graphics for a promotional package that included title cards, end pages, banners, bugs, and transitions. The promotion package is currently airing on A&E. Kings of South Beach will premier on A&E Monday, March 12, 9ET/8C.

The film is a wild and sexy tale of Miami's charismatic "It Boy" and his dangerous secrets. In Kings of South Beach Chris Troiano founds South Beach's most glittering nightclubs, frequented by the likes of Madonna and Kate Moss. But when Chris, with the help of his mysterious best friend, Andy Burnett, opens Liquid, one of the most sizzling night spots ever to hit Miami, the secret lives led by both Chris and Andy collide in a whirlwind of mobsters, money, and murder. The original A&E film stars Donnie Wahlberg, Jason Gedrick, Nadine Velazquez, and Ricardo Chavira, and was written by Nick Pileggi (GoodFellas and Casino).

FllickerLab's Creative Director Harold Moss, explained "We were asked to design and create a graphics package that would convey a sense of Miami as a place, enhance the crime story grit, and integrate with the feeling of the movie posters."

A&E Associate Producer Andrew Borden-Chisholm said he was extremely pleased with the graphics package created by FlickerLab and added, "We needed the intensity of a fast paced crime drama, a very percussive look and, as always, FlickeLab delivered. They created great silhouettes of the characters that bounce around as transitions and their entire package integrates perfectly with the film's print campaign."

The FlickerLab team included Creative Director Harold Moss; Executive Producer Tammy Walters; Producer Franklin Zitter; Designer/After Effects Juan Beltre.

FlickerLab utilized Adobe After Effects and Photoshop, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Panic Transmit, PowerMac G5 computers, iMac Intel computers, Dell Ultrasharp 24" widescreen displays, and Wacom Intuos 3 tablets in the execution of this project.

Representing A&E were Vice President On-Air Promotions Valerie Albanese and Associate Producer Andrew Borden-Chisholm.
