Donnybrook Production Services

Principal photography for the kids concept “Team Toon” recently came to a close, after more than a year in the production trenches. The Fremantle Media produced series, which blends live action with animation, tells the story of Dylan, Sam, Ash, & Iko, a foursome of middle schoolers that also just so happen to be world renowned super heroes…at least in their own minds.

The Cartoon Network bound ‘Toon’ is set to witness a premiere in 2013, and should impact the quartet of young stars fame-factor nicely. I had a blast working with the four as-yet-unknown youngsters, while serving as the show’s UPM for the first quarter of this year.  And Trevor, Jon, Jerome, and Meg are all fantastic kids, with bright futures ahead of them. I’m happy to see that the show has come to satisfying close, and wish the cast and crew all the best.

Already this year, I’m sensing that my blog-centric commitment for 2012 may be waning from the diligence witnessed in 2011…as it stands, I’m finding pockets of allowable down time fewer and further between this year already. I figured I’d take a second to offer myself a quick get out of jail free card, so that when I don’t update this site again all year I can say I saw it coming.  But alas, I digress…

I wanted to jump on to give a quick shout out to a very blog-worthy new vendor friend of mine.  Since coming on board last month, to take the active reins of production management for the Cartoon Network slotted kid’s show “Team Toon” (a joint effort between Larry Schwarz & His Band and Crook Brothers Productions), I’ve been lending a bit of my own particular style here and there.  Case in point, the K-Cup coffee maker was a big hit all around! And one new vendor in particular has been great, in every sense of the word.  The Brooklyn-based sustyparty.com is quite the enviable little do-gooder, and I’m proud to add them to the show’s growing vendor list.  Jessica and Emily both offer top notch customer service, and I’d be a fool not to take advantage of the geographical convenience of having their shipping center located right in the outer boroughs.  Especially since they ship their wholly sustainable products all over the world.

Keep up the great work ladies, and thanks for all of the help thus far…I can already see that carbon footprint beginning to diminish!
