To effectively combine the original with the new content, your bid must include production on one of the following camera rigs: Red One, Red Epic, Canon 7D, Canon 1D, or Sony FS100.

Pre-production will begin immediately upon bid approval with support from TripTV. You should be prepared to develop production schedules and panel-based storyboards for approximately 4 or 5 short vignettes per property (11 properties).
