This Time Next Year Promo
Some Lucky MCTV People went to Fox Studios this week to film a promotional trailer for a new Channel Nine series “This Time Next Year”. The series follows people willing to share with the nation what they pledge to change about their life by ‘This Time Next Year’. The program comes from a successful franchise in the UK with Karl Stefanovic hosting the program here in Australia.
MCTV people standing in for the new season of Bachelor
A group of MCTV people were on set as stand-ins for the hugely popular series The Bachelor. Stand-ins are not body doubles to be 100% clear. Stand-ins take the place of the real actors (or in this case contestants) for the purpose of lighting and sound rehearsals among other things. The stand-ins need to be of a similar build and complexion to the actors who will be playing the roles. As a stand-in you get great experience on set taking direction and often get to brush shoulders with major stars.
Hundreds of MCTV People submitted for new SBS drama
We have been submitting hundreds of people for a new SBS crime drama by the same people who brought you Redfern Now and Ready for this Blackfella Films . On SBS’s twitter feed they describe it as a show that “uncovers the gay hate crime epidemic in Syd during the 80s & 90s”. They also describe it as “A cross-genre/platform event” which I guess means there will be online components as well.
Here Come the Habibs renewed for a second season
With so many MCTV talent working on the first season of Here Come the Habib’s we are delighted to hear the news that it has been renewed for a second season. This was a bold move by Channel Nine to commission this new comedy and hopefully the success will spur them on further. It will mean more work for MCTV Talent when filming starts up again.
A risky move into comedy pays off with Nine greenlighting more of its new sitcom.
MCTV People working on skits for the Footy Show
Most years we are called upon to supply talent for the various skits and other productions that go along with The Footy Show. The people who are selected are lucky enough to have a giggle and get paid too. You can see that the team doesn’t take themselves (or others) too seriously so it’s always a great gig.
Soul Mates season 2 Production underway
With production well underway now MCTV is sending talent on a weekly basis for the new series. Last week we had to get people to take photographs of themselves in singlets. What is going to be next? Can’t wait for the new series to come out I’m sure it will be as awesomely wrong as the last one.
