16x9 Productions Produces HDTV Content for Paw Island Entertainment
When Paw Island Entertainment decided they needed a special way to promote their books, CDs, toys and clothing lines to children, they turned to the talents of 16x9 Productions and HD Vision.
"Paw Island Entertainment was looking for a way to attract children and their parents to a new mall kiosk without using audio (which was prohibited). HDTV images of their animated characters and products, displayed on a flat panel, mounted atop the kiosk was a perfect fit." Kristen Cox, President & CEO, 16x9 Productions.
16x9 Productions hired Randall Dark to direct the shoot and edited at HD Vision's facilities. Kristen Cox served as the program's producer and Kevin Caddell was brought on as the HDTV Engineer. Post production has been completed and the first panel will be installed shortly.
"As an entertainment company, we have been looking for ways to get our characters and concepts seen...a way to get above the clutter. HDTV provides the opportunity to do this--and in a way that speaks volumes about the quality we're striving to attain. Of course, the technology is only as effective as the people using it, and, quite honestly, we would have been lost without the efforts and expert work of Kristen Cox, 16x9 Productions and Randall Dark," explains Corey Maxwell, CEO of Paw Island Entertainment.
In the past 3 months, HDTV programs produced by Kristen Cox for HD Vision have received (1) Summit Gold Award, (3) Telly Awards, (3) Communicator Awards and (2) Aurora Awards, including the Aurora Platinum Best In Show Award for Children's Programming for "Bridge Dwellers: The Bats Of Austin".
