About Midnight Media Group

It all started when…

Midnight Media Group, Inc. was founded in 1981 by David Emmerling and Walter Schoenknecht, both experienced producer/directors of non-broadcast audio and video programs. Pharmaceutical, medical and financial services clients provided the firm’s earliest projects, with deliverables raging from marketing programs to satellite video teleconferences. 

The company gradually acquired the technology assets necessary to produce the projects it conceptualized, believing that clients’ interests are best represented when production staffers have unrestricted access to creative tools.

In January of 2004, Midnight Media Group welcomed Robert Camitta as a third partner. Camitta, an Emmy award-winning cameraman, was a founding partner of East Rutherford, NJ-based CLOS/Video Center of NJ. Over the course of more than 20 years, his company provided location facilities and video editing for productions ranging from the Miss America Pageant to Sesame Street.

With over 35 years of audio and video expertise, Midnight Media Group, Inc. offers specialized technical and media production services as well as creation of complete, turnkey video projects. A significant portion of our production work is commissioned by Fortune 500 businesses -- a clientele that demands contemporary imagery, high production values and precise execution. We strive to bring these attributes to every project or task we're asked to work on. And when time permits, our chosen pro bono projects (or, in some cases, public-private partnerships) showcase our ability to tell moving, heartwarming stories and to support some of the values we hold dearest.
