El formato THE ATM/ “El cajero” opcionado en 6 países del mercado Latino.- La productora española Phileas Productions ha cerrado un acuerdo con la productora Argentina Pepper Mind que será la encargada de poner en marcha este espectacular formato en seis paises de America Latina. El formato es un gameshow que ha sido opcionado recientemente por ZOO Productions para el mercado de USA.

Sobre este acuerdo hay que destacar la sintonía alcanzada por las partes que no dudan de las opciones de éxito de este formato en el mercado Latinoamericano:

• Sergio Sancho. Founder and Managing Director de Phileas Productions;  “Estamos muy contentos con este acuerdo, ya que supone nuestra primera venta en Latinoamérica y confirma la buena acogida del formato a nivel mundial. Además el encargado de que el formato se convierta en un gran éxito es Pepper Mind, una empresa joven como nosotros, y con la que compartimos ideales, ganas, esfuerzo y profesionalidad…”

Creemos fuertemente en este formato y en sus posibilidades en el mercado Latinoamericano. Estamos contentos por este acuerdo con la gente de Phileas Productions ya que es una empresa que siempre logra una diferencia a la hora de generar nuevos contenidos”

THE ATM  formato muy atractivo internacionalmente.- THE ATM es un concurso en la ciudad, con una mecánica muy sencilla, que busca a la vez darle emoción y espectacularidad a la audiencia. El concursante llegará a un cajero automático a sacar dinero y descubrirá que han ingresado en su cuenta 500.000 euros (1 millón de dólares en la versión USA), aunque para conseguirlos tendrá que superar cinco pruebas.

THE ATM ha sido uno de los formatos estrella en el pasado MIPCOM.- y los acuerdos están empezando a formalizarse ahora. En breve Phileas Productions confía en poder anunciar nuevos contratos que para otros territorios esta negociando en la actualidad y de los que puntualmente se informará al mercado.

Once OK button is pushed, the Game begins, and the Money starts to disappear 499.999€ – 499.998€ – 499.997€…
Now the ATM door closes…You stand locked behind it!!
So, your first mission; get 5 different people to complete the challenges on your behalf (These people could be someone unknown from the street or from friends and family)These 5 people need to have imagination and skill; every challenge has a mental and a physical part.

At the end of each challenge, the contestant receives a code that must be introduced into the computer, once all 5 have been introduced, the Money counter stops.

But the excitement doesn’t stop here; the most intense reality moment comes when…The host appears with the money and the winning contestant has to make a hard choice. Keep the money or share it with the 5 other people. TO SHARE or NOT TO SHARE? That is the question!!!

PRESS OK… AND TENSION, NERVES, PRESSURE, STRESS… WILL BEGIN.

From the creators of “20 Little Piggy Banks” an “Involution” the monkey game show… another animal gameshow…

“The Crazy Cow” is a quiz show where four contestants compete to win a grand prize of €100,000, but only one will have the opportunity to come face to face with the final hurdle… “The Crazy Cow” and take home the prize money. The game consists of 4 rounds:

Round 1. Four contestants measure up in a series of multiple choice general knowledge questions. Each time they answer incorrectly, the cow moves closer… 5 mistakes and they get knocked over. The first to fall is eliminated. The three still standing continue to round two.

Round 2. Three contestants measure up in a test of mental speed and agility. Each contestant must answer the questions they are posed correctly in order to ensure that their cow doesn’t move, instead forcing their opponent’s cow to get closer. However, one mistake and it will be their own cow that charges closer . One of the three contestants will fall into the mud and will be eliminated.

Round 3. The two contestants still standing, measure up in a challenge of quick-fire open-ended questions, in which a contestant’s cow advances towards them until they answer a question correctly – consequently stopping their cow and triggering their rival’s. Whoever remains standing, will continue to the Grand Final.

The Final. The Final challenge, twelve questions separate the finalist from the € 100.000. But of course, that’s not it, the contestant also needs to avoid “The Crazy Cow” that charges towards him. Unlike other programs, if the contestant answers a question incorrectly the game does not end… it’s not over until the crazy cow knocks you down! So if the contestant answers a question incorrectly, he will have to restart from the amount of money insured (2.500€ / 5.000€ / 15.000€ / 50.000€) and face a quicker cow as we increase it’s speed.

A unique program, full of fun and excitement from start to finish.

THE FACEGROUP BAND is a reality series where a group of talented youngsters will have the opportunity of a lifetime.
5 teens, who do not know each other… embark on an 8-week tour around the country through concerts, living together, having fun… but above all with one goal: To succeed as a band!

But to have fame and success they have to suffer, struggle, sacrifice, seek camaraderie, deal with day to day tension, tackle each others egos…
Each week the budget will depend on the number of fans they amass on Facebook… and the percentage of ticket sales for their gigs.
In addition, they will have to prove they are capable of becoming a recognized band in order to win the grand prize.

The goal: a concert in Madrid with 3000 tickets to sell… The prize: their first album signed to a major record label.
The band manager acts as the show’s host, setting the scene for the viewer and letting them know both the good and bad news.
Rating their performances, lets them know that they must improve if their audience is to support them (because without them there we will not be a budget or final award)…

They have 4 weeks to meet, rehearse the songs, receive tips from the different teachers and established musicians, organize the tour… and then spend 8 weeks of traveling around the country…
THE FACEGROUP BAND is a new show that is free, young, funny, bold, modern and close to the public.

Optioned for France and Belgium.

Uponor es una compañía líder Europea en suministros de fontanería y climatización. Fabrican y distribuyen desde tubería MLCP, PEX… hasta todo tipo de accesorios y sistemas de union… Press-fitting, Quick & Easy, … Y ahora lanzan un nuevo sistema totalmente revolucionario… Uponor RTM Technology.

Por eso decidimos rodar un video contando como funciona y todo lo que se puede hacer con estos nuevos accesorios en 3D. Todo un reto que al final dio sus frutos. La primera presentación del producto se hizo en las instalaciones del Space Center en UK… y fue todo un éxito.

Si tienes unas gafas 3D de las de rojo/azul… ahora es el momento de ponértelas para ver bien el video. El rodaje se realizó en el sistema de 3D side by side y posteriormente se hicieron las versiones anaglifo.

Produjimos una serie de divertidos videos virales que mezclan imagen real con animación en 3D. El objetivo de la campaña era aumentar el número de descargas BETA de Windows Office. La campaña funcionó muy bien superando en un 15% el objetivo de la misma además se consiguió un incremento del 4% de la cuota de mercado de Office 2010. Más de 200.000 “Jefes desinstalados”. Un éxito que lo han utilizado como “Case Study” en la Convención Internacional de Microsoft en Seattle.

Every parent, before their children decides to get married or live with a partner… will question whether their “son/daughter is picking the right person to share their life with?” 

Well, this program has the sole mission to answer that question by putting their sons’ other half up to a “test”. The final decision… as to whether they are the right person or not… will be left to the parents.

In each episode the parents will meet with the presenter to tell him the story of their discomfort; why they distrust their son / daughter’s partner who is going to get married or move in. What are the reasons for having such distrust?

The program will feature interviews with friends and relatives of the couple to have even more information about the son / daughter in law, their daily routines, customs…

Cheating, alcohol, drugs, gambling, bad treatment, debt, lies… these are some of the reasons why the parents may be scared about and thus call the program for help.

With the help of an expert detective and by spying using hiden cameras we will put he/she to the test… that’s when we will really discover what kind of person is.

It’s now time to show the parents what happened… How will they react? What will they think? Will they regret having put the relationship to the test?… The most tense moment awaits…

Confrontation with their son / daughter & their partner. The parents invite them round their house (they know nothing about what happened) – when they see the cameras they still do not know very well what is happening, but once the host presses play, they discover exactly what has occurred over the past week.

A moment full of tension, and an uncertain end, punctuated with the reactions of both the group and the individuals… that will raise the stakes and end the show in the height of the moment…
