RedFish and Brandcast turn some heads

Over the last four weeks, RedFish has seen an incredible build of momentum around the broadcast products Brandcast is promoting in Canada and the US. Over 30 companies have already signed up for various shows and production of their segments for TV are underway.

The project came about with the economic downturn when RedFish Studios founder, Mike Wixson and Tarik Pirbhai, RedFish COO began to contemplate what brands need on a local level to achieve impact on TV. The end result was a series of TV production products that are a turnkey and tailor-fit solution for almost any regionalized brand.

"Now companies that would normally not be able to attach their brand to a TV campaign are able to get on TV and tell their story. It's more than an ad. It is a news-style report about their business that offers a credible look a their company" Wixson says.

The brand building project seems to have hit the mark with many local businesses in Toronto and Miami. Already two half-hour shows are sold out in each market.

This week Brandcast and RedFish will announce the launch of 1 minute reports that air on multiple stations in a market with multiple airings on each station. This news has already gotten the attention of many ad agencies and marketing departments because it is the ultimate cost/credibility solution for advertising. It includes production and media but also offers a credible report-style presentation which makes it entirely more intriguing to viewers than your average 30 second commercial.

The Last Bride Standing has finally sat down.

Without giving any juicy details away about Season Two of Last Bride Standing let it be said that there is a new champion. Before nine this morning, the last bride showed her stamina to be the best out of over 25 competing brides. The show was created by owner of Le Jardin, Conference and Event Center in Woodbridge, Ontario. He is featured prominently in Last Bride Standing as the Ring Leader and Contest Host. His Long Valley Productions owns the show and has contracted RedFish Studios to produce the it for international broadcast sales.

The RedFish crew providing production for Long Valley Productions on Last Bride Standing wrapped the set and interviews just moments ago. The show heads directly into post-production this week for 13 gripping episodes covering the entire event.

The show wrapped this morning at Toronto's Bridal Show which continues on all weekend at the Toronto Congress Center. There are almost 200 exhibitors reaching out to the bridal crowd with an unbelievable range of offerings.

Hats off to the RedFish crew for overcoming the challenges the come hand in hand with these kinds production projects. A job well-done in a world of round-the-clock production.

A glimpse into the Last Bride Standing Reality Show Production

We will try to keep you posted with new images as the days go by.
Here are a few images to wet your whistle for this season of Last Bride Standing

Last Bride Standing - Part Deux - Shooting On Location

A second season for Last Bride Standing has RedFish in production in multiple locations over the next week around the clock.

That's right Last Bride Standing is back and this time it has become a major happening. Last season there were 21 brides, this season there are 32. Last season the whole contest took place at Le Jardin in Vaughan (amazing place for any function - blatant plug for a great place), this season the contest starts at LeJardin and moves to two other locations. Last season there was a grand prize of $75,000 and this season it is over 100 grand to winner. Yes, Last Bride Standing has grown up quick. This year the show will even culminate at the Toronto's Bridal Show at the Congress Center in front of thousands of brides-to-be and their entourage.

A favorable audience response in season one has fueled the creative passion in Carlo Parentela, the host of the contest and the creator of Last Bride Standing, to make this season a real calling card for future episodes around the world.

"Carlo sees the value in what he is doing as an entertainment vehicle, but this time he brought in the entire wedding industry in Ontario to make it outrageous and unmistakable." Mike Wixson, Executive Producer at RedFish laughs as he summarizes Parentela's drive to make this show an international success. "There is no question that he has major plans for this show. Our job is to execute it as a showpiece for international broadcast sales. And this is exactly what we will do. The contest is the best fodder for a reality series ever."

RedFish will work with Long Valley Productions, the creators of the concept to develop a second season of compelling TV that is sure to have you picking your favorite to win by the end of the first episode.

Here is a quick clip from what we shot at orientation. It is, as we say in the biz: "A rush" from the first night of shooting last week.

RedFish goes into production with BBQ 101

Recently RedFish stuck a deal with SunTV to create an inaugural 6 episodes of a high-end cooking show that would highlight the BBQ. The result: BBQ 101 with Funny Foodie Humble Howard and BBQ Master Naz Cavallero. Together these two will take your skills at the grill to a whole new level. Being shot on location in Ontario, the series is set to debut this summer on SunTV and MenTV across the country.

Last Bride Standing finale met with cheers!

SunTV reality series draws to a dramatic close.

After 13 weeks of dramatic happenings on the first-ever Last Bride Standing show has lead to a finale that is worthy of tears, cheers and contemplation. Created by Carlo Parentela of Le Jardin Conference and Event Center and Directed by Humble Howard Glassman of RedFish Studios, the show garnered more and more viewers each week until finally we saw the winning bride walk away with wedding worth over $60,000!

The final episode aired quite coincidentally on Valentines day which is quite suiting as the last show was a fine example of what love can actually accomplish.

The final twists and turns highlighted the final four girls on the wall and how they handled the stress of a final challenge to see who would win the big prize. After five days and nights holding a wall, what happens in the last 5 minutes of the show is absolutely stunning! It will renew your faith in humanity even if just for a moment.

Without giving away the ending (which will naturally air again soon) the winning bride in many ways owed her win to more than just her stamina. She was actually aided by at least one competing bride who simply felt that she did not need the wedding like the bride she seemingly let take the prize. A true act of kindness and humanity. Nice to see on TV. Rare to see on TV.

Congrats go out to Carlo and Howard who made the show a brilliant success. Huge Kudos go to the editing and audio creative post that was handled by Angela Schermaul and Andrew Newton for is outstanding work as Director of Production on the series. Well done. Let's make more!
