Pixel Brothers team members Mike Torchia, Nick Kofski and Scott Murphy had the opportunity to spend 5 days with Engine 7 and the Rescue Squad of the New Orleans Fire Department.  They were there shooting a pilot for a possible reality TV show.  Kofski and Murphy arrived on Wednesday evening and were no sooner on their first “roll” — smoke in a nursing home.  Kofski and Murphy went on more than 25 calls with both the Rescue Squad and the Engine, including a 3 bell structure fire.  Torchia, who arrived later in the shooting cycle said “This experience gives me a whole new appreciation for the work these guys do.”

The fire fighters gave the crew unprecedented access to all aspects of their jobs - something they’ve never done before.The shoot included 3 broadcast cameras and 2 rugged “helmet cams” that were attached directly to the helmets of the firefighters.

Pixel Brothers excels in producing this kind of reality TV pilot - or sizzle reel.  With our years of reality experience with the Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos shows we know exactly what kinds of equipment to use and the crtical shots needed to sell this type of programming.
