UK - The DVD authoring department of Richmond Studios has appointed Mandy Roberts as DVD designer/author. Mandy has scooped a total of four broadcast and media industry awards in South Africa for her multimedia work. As a freelance DV editor and DVD author, she worked extensively with communications, broadcast design and new media development companies in South Africa, followed by work as an editor and multimedia developer for clients including British Airways and KPMG. Her skills embrace DVD authoring as well as conceptual, sound and graphic design and editing.

Holding a Diploma in Film Arts, she was a double finalist in the Loerie Awards for her work on BA's 21st Century Travel CD-ROM and Everite's Building Products DVD, and won the 2001 Business Day Award for Panasonic SA's website.

Richmond Studios' DVD department specializes in high-quality music releases, and also produces film, drama and promotional DVDs. The team can look after the entire DVD production process as well as CD-ROM authoring and preparation of content for web-streaming. Richmond Studios uses Sonic Creator DVD systems in conjunction with their on-line AVID suite, 5.1 audio suite and rapidly-expanding design department to produce high-end DVD releases.

Current DVD design and authoring projects include international releases of Simply Red's Live In Sicily and Cirque du Soleil's latest DVD production from Orlando, La Nouba, directed by David Mallet. For both of these, Richmond Studios produced the soundtrack from recording through Dolby and DTS encoding.

Richmond founder Toby Alington says: "We're thrilled that Mandy has chosen to join our growing team, as she is very much at the top of her profession. She brings a solid knowledge of DVD authoring, and a commitment to quality and deadlines which are all part of the Richmond Studios ethic." Mandy comments: "It's a privilege to be joining such a great team and to be given the opportunity to work on such exciting, high profile projects."
