The Briefing Room

NewTek Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today announced that attendee Peter Lebow was the winner of the Company’s NAB Show 2009 Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp signed guitar giveaway. Lebow was randomly chosen in a drawing at the NewTek 2009 NAB Show booth and received the Epiphone SG-Special Guitar adorned with autographs of Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Chris Slade (AC/DC) and Kip Winger (Winger).

“I’m a huge rock and roll fan; it was awesome to win this guitar. As soon as it arrives, it will be going on the wall in my home office,” said Lebow, producer of Instant Films, an invitation-only festival for films created in less than 48 hours, and co-founder of Small & Creepy, an online film company. “I’ve followed NewTek for a long time and always go to their booth at the show. One of NewTek’s vice presidents urged me to enter the drawing. I didn’t think a lot about it at the time, but I’m glad that I did.”

NewTek also announced that Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp (www.rockcamp.com) will use NewTek TriCaster portable live production and virtual set system to stream live performances from Rock Camps. Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is the ultimate music experience that gives musicians and enthusiasts the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to jam with legendary rock stars. All signatories of the guitar were past Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp counselors.
