The View From Up Here
Traditionally December – actually the Holidays, Thanksgiving to New Years – is slow in the video production industry. The slump in advertising, end of year budgets have been spent plus the fact that people are too busy thinking about getting through Christmas and all that brings to take away from the focus from shooting video. But this year December was a boom here at Lone Peak. Every day was a paying client in the edit bays. It was so busy that both Steve and Paul had to sneak in a few days of vacation when most years they would have taken the last two weeks of the year off to be with their families.
If it sounds like we’re complaining, even a little, we’re not. To be this busy in this economy is truly a blessing.
We began the week of Thanksgiving by producing a series of spots for Utah’s cHIE. (Clinical Health Information Exchange) Because the weather had turned we got to travel to Sunny St. George for the shoot. We shot on our new Sony F3 which is a sweet piece of gear that we have come to like a lot.
We also scheduled productions for our friends at Welti Call, Advanced MD, SelectHealth, Doug Smith AutoPlex and Tall Trees Productions to name just a few.
We had all settled in for a long winter’s nap when we got a call just before Christmas from Teleperformance. They have been good customers of ours for many, many years. Teleperformance is a multinational corporation that operates 263 inbound call centers in 50 countries. It seems they had produced a video in another country for use in the U.S.. As it turned out, they didn’t like the finished product… So our Christmas vacation was blown to smithereens when the call came in to help them with a video to replace that one.
Somewhere in all of that Bob found time to bring a new staff member on board. If you have been around the industry for any period of time you might remember Dennis “Leno” Rowley. Dennis, Leno as he’s been known for years, was one of the founding members of the old Video West. In his career he has produced more than 3,000 projects. He brings something to Lone Peak something we weren’t short on to begin with – and that’s more experience. Among other things Dennis is responsible for directing our sales effort. We hope you’ll all join us in welcoming Leno aboard.
We would also like to acknowledge and thank Merit Medical for helping us to have a great year, plus providing us with lunch as a thank you for helping them out. When they came to us last February and told us that they wanted 25 videos produced and doubted that one production company could handle that load we were only too happy to show them we could.
However with all of that said we are NEVER too busy to help you with your next production. We are in the business of making our customers look good. We’ve been doing it for 33 years. In that time we’ve no doubt found ways to fit any number of clients with varying degrees of drop dead deadlines. So call Dennis “Leno” and see what he can do for you with the deadline on your video.
Here is his contact info.

In 2011 Lone Peak Production expanded and hired three new outstanding employees. Lone Peak Productions is very excited to have them on board. To learn more about Dennis Powers, Dennis “Leno” Rowley and Jeremy Penzien check out their bios below:
Dennis Powers – Writer / Producer / Director
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Dennis graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He then moved to Chicago where he spent 5 years at the largest agency in the world at the time, J. Walter Thompson, working on Gillette, Sears, Ford, Jovan and 7Up the UnCola, followed by two years at DDB Needham working on General Foods, Morton and McDonalds. After accumulating huge amounts of experience and training he decided to move to the mountains of Salt Lake City to escape the big city. After a couple of years at Fotheringham, he spent the next twenty as the Powers of Penna Powers Brian Haynes. The last spots he was the creative director, producer and also directed for the agency won an Emmy. He produced them with Lone Peak Productions. It was a good combination then and we thought it might be once again. He’s best know for being a nice guy and making low budget look high budget.
When KSL Television hired a struggling college student to work in their mail room on April 1, 1975 it began a love story and a career that has spanned five decades. The love story begins with a young man who once he began to tinker with lights realized that he loved how he could “paint” a piece of video to be whatever he wanted to create. His creative vision expanded to include writing, producing and directing. All told Dennis Rowley has used his creative skills to oversee over 3000 projects in 36 years. 1000 projects per decade, 100 projects per year – an average of 2 completed videos per week over a single life span is a feat a select few can hang on their lodge pole. If there remains any doubt that Dennis can do anything put in front of him a brief summary of the customers served should clear up any of those: Questar, Utah Power, The Yellowstone Club, ESPN, Fox Sports, ABC, NBC and CBS, ZCMI, Utah State Department of Continuing Education, IOMEGA, Apple, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Franklin Covey, The Covey Institute, Dan’s Foods, Associated Grocers, Albertson’s, First Security Bank, VA Hospitals, Bonneville International, KOIT Radio , KSL Radio and Television and hundred more. When it comes to programming Dennis has produced, directed, written or acted as project manager on over 200 live or live-to-tape shows.
This guy just walked in off the streets and wouldn’t leave…so we decided to give him a job. Turns out he has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Digital Video and makes abstract video art in his spare time. As a huge nerd, he enjoys Dr. Who, Classical Number Theory, and the methodical experimentation of toppings on homemade pizzas. Don’t you think he kinda looks like Jim Carrey?

The Price Museum of Speed has hired Lone Peak Productions to help on the documentary narrated by Patrick Dempsey called Boys of Bonneville. It tells the story of an unsung hero and self-made man, David Abbott Jenkins, who, with almost superhuman stamina and boyish charm, set out to single-handedly break every existing land speed record on his beloved Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah. More than a century later, many of “Ab’s” records remain unbroken and the legacy lives on in his custom car. Looking like something Batman would have owned, the story comes full circle when Ab’s son Marv, restores the 12-cylinder, 4800-pound “Mormon Meteor” to its glory days for a ceremonial lap on the salt.
