Media Production Services, a full-service
Production Company specializing in broadcast and live event production, formerly
Integrated Sports Productions, was founded in July, 2000 by Andrew Schneider. In
August, 2004, coinciding with its selection by the Republican National Committee
(RNC) to provide production management services at its National Convention at
New York’s Madison Square Garden, ISP became Media Production Services, LLC.
Most recently, MPS packaged soccer and
wrestling, as well as a number of individual track and
volleyball events for College Sports Television’s 2004-2005
season. MPS provided production and operations management,
coordinated all aspects of production with CSTV, arranged for
talent, facilities, and crew, and provided on-site technical
management. During six years as a staff Production Manager at
independent production companies, Andrew worked with a wide
range of clients including ESPN, NBC Sports, NBA Entertainment, TWI, USA Broadcasting, MSG Network, The Weather Channel, The
Coca-Cola Company, and NewLine Television.
Prior to starting ISP, Andrew was the Production
Manager at Pearl Entertainment where he was responsible for
overseeing all aspects of production, from budget creation
through final delivery. He managed the technical and logistical
production for four episodes of the Emmy Award winning "SportsCentury:
The top 50 and Beyond" for ESPN. He also served as Line Producer
for "A Tribute to Bill Russell" hosted by Bill Cosby, at the
Fleet Center in Boston, and was the Line Producer for the
Downtown Athletic Club's Heisman Trophy Presentation Dinner in
New York. On his last project before establishing ISP, he served
as the Production Manager and Post-Production Supervisor for the
critically acclaimed ten-hour documentary "Rites of Autumn: The
Story of College Football" that aired on ESPN.
Before joining Pearl, Andrew was the Production
Coordinator for WAVE Entertainment. While at WAVE, he was a part
of the team that created "Topspin," a children's tennis show,
for CBS and the USTA. He was also responsible for all the
technical and logistical details of production, and served as
Post-Production Supervisor for numerous sports series for ESPN,
including the first 3 seasons of "Kiana's Flex Appeal."
Prior to his involvement in Production
Management, Andrew served as a writer and researcher for the
Fischler Hockey Service. He was FHS' correspondent for the New
York Rangers, and served as a production assistant on New York
Islanders and New Jersey Devils home broadcasts. He was also
involved in preparation and production of "The Fischler Report,"
a monthly newsletter serving the NHL community.
