Premiering in the fall of 2003, K Street was a weekly Sunday night docudrama on HBO that mixed fiction and reality on the famous corridor in Washington, DC. Produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, the series centered around members of a fictional lobbying and political consulting firm rubbing elbows with real politicians and lawmakers, wheeling and dealing, spinning and twisting, trying to skew national politics, policy, regulation and law to their paying client’s advantage. The challenge for IMG, one of the series’ production studios, was creating concepts each week based on real ongoing political news. Each unscripted episode began with weekly morning concept development then filming began with five synchronous hand held cameras. IMG set up an editorial suite on set, to immediately digitize and edit footage. After the around the clock editing was complete, it was off to IMG headquarters for color correction, audio mixing, film graining, audio playback and packaging. Each episode was mastered and quality controlled by the end of the work week and ready for its Sunday night debut.
