Well Hey everyone,
Its the end of the year. This has been an interesting year for all of us here at TMI. We went from losing a client at the beginning of the year, due to the economy, to having 6 TV shows in LA being pitched. Let me give you all a little update of the projects we have in play now..

First there is "Treasure Coast" (Reality Series)
Join the crew of the Gold Hound as it leaves the dock at Captain Hiram’s in Sebastian Florida. For more than 17 years, Greg Bounds has made a living scouring the ocean off the Brevard County shoreline finding trinkets and treasures left by ships that sailed hundreds of years ago. Dozen’s of ships bound for Spain with treasures from Mexico and South America sank chests of jewelry, coins, ceramic pottery and cannons remain unaccounted for.
Among the riches sought by Captain Greg are 36 boxes of church gold and 64 pounds of emeralds worth $1 billion. In 2007, he found $12.9 million worth of gold chains, pearls, coins, swords and other artifacts from the 400-year-old Santa Margarita site in the Keys. Last year, it was the top-grossing boat in the 1715 fleet.


Then there is "Urban Animals" (Reality Series):
Urban Animals. It is like ER, but for Animals, if set in Austin. Dramatic highs and lows. Life and Death moments. Touching acts of kindness. The zany antics of downtown denizens of the weirdest little city in Texas. For all their differences, Dr. Homburg and Dr. Biehle, share one thing in common for sure, their deep and abiding commitment to animals and their well being. They also share a wicked sense of humor. In their new venture, The Austin Urban Vet Center, they will face the many challenges that are to be expected as business owners, veterinarians, and business partners.


Then there is "Battle-X" (Reality Series)
Battle X is an action packed televised combat simulation and a social experiment that demonstrates and highlights the universal characteristics of leadership, compromise, ethics, courage, and determination. This phenomenon plays out across a series of situations and transitions that will challenge each contestant in ways not fully explored in any current reality program. A group of preselected contestant candidates will undergo a culture shock experience and be placed in random groups and will be compelled to work together to win.


Then there is "The General" (web series)
Larry gets more than he bargained for when a puppet calling himself "The General" responds to his Craig's List ad for a roommate and turns his life upside down. Follow the adventures of The General as he goes through roommates like normal people go through toilet paper, all the while searching for the ultimate good time regardless of who's toes get stepped on.


Then there is "Chad Vs. The Wall" (web series)
Chad Brewer is a normal guy with fears, unfortunately he has let his fears dictate his entire life, until today.... Chad vs. The Wall is a web series that shows that anyone can take down that "Wall" of fear and over come it.


Then there is "Emo's" (Reality Series)
What’s it like running one of the top music clubs in the country for up and coming bands? Frank’s Place, Emo’s is a reality show that takes viewers behind the scenes and behind the stage to show a world that’s always provocative, sometimes glamorous, and never dull.


So as you can see we have been super busy.. We are on hold till after the holidays, but hopefully Jan and Feb will bring TMI some good news.. Keep checking back to find out more on our Reality Show ventures. If you would like more information about these projects please email me at CCisneros[at]tmivideos.com

TMI Press Release Monday November 9, 2009
THE MOVING IMAGE ADDS TO 2010 REALITY GENRE LINE UP WITH PROGRAM FEATURING WELL KNOWN VETS.

The Moving Image Company is pleased to announce its newest Reality Television property
URBAN ANIMALS, slated to begin production in Austin, Texas in January. The Moving Image Company is swiftly moving to become the only bone fide “show runner” for this type of programming in the state of Texas, with several other original shows already in development or pre-production.

http://tmivideos.com

THE SHOW:
URBAN ANIMALS
Location: Austin Urban Vet Center @ 5th and Rio Grande
http://www.austinurbanvet.com/

One is a young, smart, attractive, working Mom. The other is her prankish but highly experienced mentor – and a real life cowboy-type with a big heart. They call her the “no-nonsense” one…they call him the “rock star.” She has an energy…He has a wild sense of humor. This could get messy… They couldn’t be more different in many ways, yet they work so well together that it’s clear that they are different sides of the same coin. What joins them together and makes them such a dynamic team? A passion for animals and providing the best pet care in Texas.

Dr. Erin Homburg - Veterinarian. Helping animals is what Erin has always wanted to do. Knowing how to treat and talk to the animals is only one part of the job. Connecting with the owner is the other. Whether it acting as a wise counsel to the owners on issues such as animal nutrition, course of treatment, grief counseling, or even financial issues, every day, every patient and every owner are different.

Enter, Dr. Greg Biehle. The notorious "say it as it is" old school vet. Erin has ventured into new territory with Dr. Biehle; a direction best described as following her childhood dream - a new high-tech veterinary hospital and animal spa in the heart of Austin, Texas. One thing she can count on each day is her patients and their need for her help. The other is Dr. Biehle and his antics. Combined with the always interesting and different parade of personalities, both in the owners and employees, each day is a brand new challenge!

2 new reality shows...

TMI is proud to announce that it has 2 new reality shows going into the Promo stage of production. The first is "Urban Animals"

* The Moving Image Company is proud to present Dr. Erin Homburg and Dr. Greg Biehle in Urban Animals. A dramatic and lively look at the inner workings of their bold new adventure, The Austin Urban Vet Center. A light hearted yet sometimes contentious study in contrasts (old school/new school, male/Female etc.) The show will also examine the various aspects of this unique adventure. Urban Animals will feature the relationships the Doctors share with their patients and owners, including notable celebrities. Urban Animals will capture the eclectic, quirky, downright strange characters and culture that gave rise to the phrase, Keep Austin Weird.

The Second is "Battle X"

TMI is proud to present what could be the next hit reality show. Battle X. Combine elements of eco challenge, survivor, and the colony, then set that inside a milsim (military simulation) that plays like 24 meets full metal jacket. With state of the art paintball gear, smoke, fire, heart pounding excitement.


TMI spent yesterday location scouting for the promo of "Battle X"








"Battle X" promo shoots on Thursday October 22, 2009 from 8:30am to Dusk in Luling Texas. Any one interested in helping out please contact us by going to the contacts page on www.tmivideos.com
