Back in Production with ManUp!


The whole gang is here! We are shooting seven more episodes of ManUp! for MenTV this weekend. There are over 25 crazy challenges and almost a hundred guy-based trivia questions all that will lead to our newest batch of ManUp! Champions.

Our winners win a legit wrestling-style belt to boast about forever more.

This might be a good time for me to mention to great people who make this show. I am not trying to name everyone here, so if you got missed, let me know and I will update this blog. Here we go:

The guys who first thought of the idea:

Denzil Wadds and Tim Keenleyside (Fingerprint Communications) They write the show with howard and work with us to develop new concepts for the show.

Nicki Traikos - She is the world's best on-set make-up artist. Also a valued member of our team on many, many other projects.

Angela Schermaul - Angela is the post-production wizard that makes the show sing! She is a very talented editor, but more than that: she has vision for what a show should look like to make it the most compelling it can be.

Andrew Newton - You might have read about him in this blog. Andrew is in charge of all productions at RedFish - Poor guy has to watch over as many as 10 simultaneous projects and ensure they are delivered technically perfect. A challenge set out for only the best.

Tarik Pirbhai - Tarik is a source of calm. He is my counter-part in charge of running the actual business. He is not all numbers...Tarik is a creative soul who looks out for everyone on our team everyday.

Our Camera and Audio guys are the best. Not only are they totally pro at what they do, they are a constant source of laughter and fun. They are the ultimate crew for TV. Many thanks, guys.

Each week we have some of the most intellectual and hard working PAs you will ever find. To all of those folks...many thanks for your efforts.

This is a good time to mention our host, co-director and co-writer: Howard Glassman. Better known as Humble Howard, he is the driving force behind the fun that ManUp! is. He make me mental with his desire to freak out the network, but that is part of what makes ManUp! so much fun to watch.

And I leave this guy for last because without him....no show: Rob Pagetto, our in-house head of production projects like TV shows, and large corporate projects. He gets every detail of Man-Up worked out and ready to go for every shoot. Not to mention he is the floor director for ManUp! as well.

Here we go....seven more and this season is done.
Many thanks to everyone who participated ....OH Don Gaudet..at MenTV. Thanks for buying the show! Without you....well...it's obvious.

Mike
