Customer Profile: John MacGibbon of PBS's Frontline

Wednesday, November 11, 2009



FRONTLINE is American public television's flagship public affairs series. Hailed upon its debut on PBS as "the last best hope for broadcast documentaries," FRONTLINE's stature over 27 seasons is reaffirmed each week through incisive documentaries covering the scope and complexity of the human experience.

The responsibility for creating FRONTLINE's promos and packaging materials falls to John MacGibbon, winner of two national Emmy awards in the last two years and a recent nominee for two additional Emmys, and writer/producer Missy Frederick. John has worked with Boris FX products since his days at ZOOM, a children's show also produced by WGBH. He exclusively relies on Boris RED for all of his titling and graphics work. John also uses Boris Continuum Complete in his work on the series packaging and promos; he makes extensive use of BCC Film Grain, BCC DeNoise, BCC Lens Flare, and BCC's color and blur effects. These products help him create imagery that matches the program's cutting-edge journalism.
