It started with a call from Jim Mudd, Jr., CEO of Mudd Advertising,

to Disney Imagineers, asking if they would help us build one of Iowa's largest studios, and they said,

"Come On Down".

That meeting took place in 2003, and after receiving pointers from Disney on how and how not to build a studio​ we broke ground for studio5@mudd in 2005. 

​

We were up and running in 2007.

studio5@mudd has written, produced, designed,

and edited thousands of commercials and videos

for clients across the U-S. From automotive to

education to healthcare and more, our studio crew

creates an average of 250 - 350 productions

every month.

Today’s creative, driven by the digital age, includes thousands of videos produced for client websites, fulfilling the vision Jim Mudd, Sr. had back in the 90’s when he said everyone would one day own their own TV station.

the inside scoop

Mudd Team @ Disney Studios

The Disney Imagineers were awesome touring us all over the studio, including the ceiling floor grid they built (to hang the lights and move and re-direct the HVAC ducting) they recommended we use lifts and chain motors instead.

 

The Imagineers shared copies of their floor plans and what they did with equipment in their control rooms as the technology changed and advanced.

 

Additionally, they shared their recommendations for the electrical & data lines and planning for the future . . . which has REALLY paid off as Studio5@Mudd NOW has 10 GIG service capabilities!   

 

And thier great insight & ideas for set & prop storage based on their experiences.

Not to forget . . . the set builders and "MacGyver" type of crew . . . (a big client in Georgia with the script calling for a rain shoot in Atlanta, GA.) . . . the Studio team built their own rain machine in studio and practiced the rain with fake lightning and thunder, once satisfied then packed it all up and went on location just outside of Atlanta, GA. and re-set it all up with 2 giant cranes and with the studio drones and camera crews and did the shoot.

​

Additionally Studio5 has our own Mudd Signs company on campus able to create giant studio back drops and and sets.
