History Channel to Film Underground

HISTORY CHANNEL TO FILM UNDERGROUND FOR UPCOMING MODERN MARVELS EPISODE

 

HUTCHINSON, KS – A production company will be in Hutchinson on Wednesday, August 18, shooting footage for the History Channel’s television show, “Modern Marvels.” The video crew will be underground in the salt mine documenting the activity that happens 650’ under the earth’s surface on a daily basis.

 

The episode, airing at a yet-to-be-determined future date, highlights underground “marvels” from around the country. While in Hutchinson, focus will be placed on the mining process of the Hutchinson Salt Company, the secure storage facility and motion picture clients of Underground Vaults & Storage, and the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, the world-class educational facility and tourist attraction located in the mine.

Carson Entertainment Group Unveils 30-Year Library of Tonight Shows

Starring Johnny Carson at www.johnnycarson.com

 

UV&S  plays role in preserving historical archive

August 12, 2010, Fullerton, Calif. -  During his 30 years on NBC as host of The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson interviewed more than 22,000 guests.  The legendary entertainer introduced Jay Leno, David Letterman, Joan Rivers, Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carey, and Roseanne Arnold to national audiences for the first time on The Tonight Show, and most significant musicians, actors and comedians from 1962 through 1992 made an appearance on the show.  Today, Carson Entertainment Group (CEG) released its iconic, long-awaited television archive for the first time through www.johnnycarson.com and announced a series of upcoming DVD releases.  Audiences may view a wide range of selected clips on the website, and a clip licensing link at licensing.johnnycarson.com provides the media and production industry with 3,300 hours of searchable show content.

“We have received so many inquiries and requests for this material over the years that we have taken steps to make the materials more accessible and instantly searchable,” said Jeff Sotzing, President of CEG.   “Segments have been used in films like Fargo, Talk to Me, and Watchmen – as well as in commercials and other productions.” 

Since 1996, the archive has been stored in three different media sources in Hutchinson, Kansas at Underground Vaults & Storage - secured in a perfect storage environment 650’ below the surface of the earth.   “We have been honored to care for this historically significant collection,” said Lee Spence, President and CEO of UV&S.  “To play a role in preserving the Carson archive is something we take great pride in.”

In 2009, Deluxe Archive Solutions was engaged to migrate the footage to a digital format.  Leveraging its domestically based distributed workforce, Deluxe generated contextual metadata, full transcripts linked to video and presented a searchable user-interface for clip browsing and licensing.  Now, by typing in a single name, word, or phrase into a search engine, a producer can immediately browse thumbnail images representing each occurrence of the term, and view clips alongside their transcripts. 

“The Carson Library represents both an important record of our recent past and serves as a model for media archives in the future,” said Tyler Leshney, Vice President of Deluxe Archive Solutions.  “We are enormously proud to have worked with such an amazing piece of American entertainment history,” adds Leshney.

CEG will also continue to release archived shows for general viewing audiences through the Johnny Carson website, and forthcoming announcements in 2010 will include a new DVD and deluxe collector’s box set, produced in association with Respond2 Entertainment.
