GAME OF STONES – DISCOVERY CHANNEL
2013
Double Act an English Production Company was commissioned by the Discovery Channel to Produce the initial Episode of the series `Game Of Stones’, first broadcasted in the US on 28th February 2013. The series followed the adventures of Don Kogen - CEO of Gem Guys Inc., specializing in sourcing rare stones "from the most dangerous and lawless places on earth’’. Each episode found Don Kogen and his team in a new country aiming to source larger and rarer stones filming in the inhospitable mines of, Brazil, Thailand, Turkey, India and Tanzania. FSR produções™ provided local crew and HD kit over a 10 day filming schedule in the remote gem-mining town of Nova Era in Minas Gerais – filming in the extreme underground conditions of the Emerald Mines.
We had the pleasure of working with FSR and particularly Fernanda and Marcia in the design and build out of our Rio 2016 Hospitality Suite at the Sheraton in Leblon. From the initial designs to the final product, their attention to detail, creativity and really ‘listening’ to the scope and budget made this project seamless. The feedback from our client was “this is the best space we’ve created in the last 4 Olympics” and all of the credit goes to the FSR delivery team. It would be our privilege to partner again in Rio or elsewhere!!

In June 2013 Foundation Television travelled to Rio to shoot elements for the BBC Television - CBeebies Show - Mister Maker Around the World. Mister Maker airs in over a hundred countries and our technical requirements are very high.
The pre-production and shoot were set up by FSR and FSR worked closely with the UK production team to book the Rio team, source locations and book the crew and technical equipment. FSR also supervised the location recces and came out out on all the shoot days. FSR Producoes was a pleasure to work with.
