“Best of” Denver Screening/Awards Ceremony
Friday, September 9th
7:30pm, $10 per ticket
Natisha Walton, Vice President and Executive Producer at RunawayTrain Productions co-produced the winter season of network IDs for PBS Kids Sprout.
PBS KIDS SproutSM is the first 24-hour preschool destination available on TV, for kids ages 2-5. It was created as a partnership among Comcast Corporation, HIT Entertainment, Public Broadcasting Service, and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street®.
Shot on location in picturesque Breckinridge, Colorado, the heart of Colorado’s ski country, the pre production required weeks of location scouting, wardrobe, and casting.Says Walton: “Casting children can be a lot of fun, but it can also be challenging. You really never know how child actors will react the day of the shoot. You use your best judgment, but in the back of your mind you know they could be in a great mood during casting and not want to perform once they are on set. In our case we were very fortunate.”
Sprout is the #1 Kids On Demand service for young children, generating over half a billion orders to date. Sprout provides 60 hours of VOD programming each month, including 10-15 hours of Spanish-language programming (Plaza Sésamo®, Angelina Ballerina™, Barney & Friends™, Bob the Builder™, Olly El Submarino™).
The IDs are live action and involved nearly 40 crew and talent for 2 days, and were directed by Marianne Fernsler of Sprout.
The finished products are currently running on PBS Kids Sprout. Look for it on your local cable listings.
Location: Amsterdam
Feature: One of the world’s biggest providers of electronic consumer lifestyle products finds new competitive success.
When BMGI, an international business problem-solving firm, helped global giant, Philips Consumer Lifestyle, target over 120 million euro in potential cost savings, they turned to RunawayTrain Productions to spotlight the details. Sample: “Not only was this project our first International location shoot, but this project was exciting because it involved multiple trips to Amsterdam and hiring a local crew,” says RunawayTrain’s Vice President and Executive Producer of the project, Natisha Walton.
The HD video news feature is a case study highlighting the partnership between BMGI and Philips, the leading consumer product supplier to major retailers across 150 countries. Along with the Lean Six Sigma training, the two companies actually collaborated and created an intense new business methodology called ‘Smartistics’ for its sales and marketing employees worldwide.
“It’s aimed at improving the decision making process in marketing. So we think of marketing as the classical four Ps; product, pricing, placement and promotion, and trying to understand what are the best combinations of all those various variables that are going to drive your market share and drive your profitability,” explained Greg Kinsey European Managing Director at BMGI.
RunawayTrain’s HD Production that highlights ‘Smartistics’ will help BMGI garner more business. They already have 40 active clients in over 20 countries.
