35 + years of fun and games...
Paul Christensen and his wife Donna founded Omega Productions in March of 1973. The Company specializes in live
concert DVD shoots, as well as live CD recordings. In addition, the Christensens also have become one of the premier producers of Behind the Scenes Video for Artists and Labels. Omega also provides live event production and consulting services to the
Entertainment and Sports Industries.
The Christensens co-produce all projects working as a team... an approach they believe is
responsible for the success of 41 years of marriage and 35 years of production experience.
In 1995, the Christensens met Ruthel Noble-Flunder, who today assists them in producing the company's projects. Ruthel's people skills and ability to organize, allow her to wear
many hats. She brings a high level of professionalism coupled with a genuine interest in the client's success. Those who meet Ruthel don't soon forget her... they become fast friends as well as clients.
The company was originally founded in 1973 to supply live music recording services to the
record and television industries, a service that continues to this day. From 1981 to 1991, Omega maintained a studio facility in Dallas, co-located with a
video post production house. It was during this period that the Christensens fulfilled their goal to learn the television and film business from the inside out. In addition to studio recording,
the facility was one of the pioneers of audio post for television and film.
Looking at the big picture...
That 10 year experience enabled the Christensens to integrate their knowledge of music recording and concert production
with what they had learned about television and film. Omega's producing philosophy integrates all of these disciplines.... recording, studio, stage and concert, with the latest
developments in television and film, assuring a greater level of success and cost savings. Omega takes control of all aspects of a recorded event, assuring that there is a memorable
concert, as well as a recording and DVD.
A rich tapestry of music...
During the company's 35 year history, Paul Christensen and his wife Donna and their staff have worked with over 300 of the best known personalities in the business: comedy stars such
as Bob Hope, Steve Allen, Jack Lemmon and David Brenner, Broadway legends like Ben Vereen, Tommy Tune, Lena Horne and Chita Rivera, film artists Leslie Ann Warren, Mack Davis, Peter Coyote and Dennis Quaid,
and music legends like Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.
Their work has crossed all lines of music... from the jazz of Ramsey Lewis, Dizzy Gillespie and Al Jarreau, the rock of
U2, The Moody Blues and Neil Young, the country of Reba McEntire, Clint Black and Garth Brooks, the blues of B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Irma Thomas, the R&B and funk sounds of The Neville
Brothers, The Commodores and Johnny Taylor, to the gospel sounds of Donny McClurkin, Fred Hammond, Dottie Peoples and the Mississippi Mass Choir.
