[large]SANYO IS COMING TO HOLLYWOOD[/large]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 7, 2010 -- C2H is the biggest internet television show ever made, and it fuels the dreams of hundreds of aspiring actors, singers and models of all races and ethnicities. Coming 2 Hollywood http://coming2hollywood.com is the only show of its kind, and it is all shot on the Sanyo Xacti consumer camera. The leading-edge show is the brainchild of an innovative dynamic duo: Carrie Cain Sparks and Shadow Mihai, of Stella James Studios http://stellajamesstudios.com.

Sparks and Mihai’s new show, C2H, began with the idea that a mega-sized TV show with industry standard production values could be shot on a consumer grade HD camera. The connection with Sanyo and their Xacti HD camera proves their point. Sanyo is the global company who leads the world in consumer electric and “green” products (www.sanyo.com). What better way for Sparks and Mihai to launch a new studio concept with a global reach than with Sanyo, whose name literally means “three oceans,” or “the world”?

Coming2hollywood is a fascinating parade of talent. Selected from over 7000 auditions, a cast of 200 aspiring Hollywood stars are making history in the largest, all digital show on the internet. Says Carrie Cain Sparks, “We don’t have millions of dollars tied up in studio overhead and star salaries, so we have nothing to lose doing a show of this magnitude.” Competing with the majors is hard without major dollars, but C2H is proof that in the digital age, the best creative minds can compete with major productions. “This is why the major networks and studios will have increasing difficulty competing in the all-digital world with companies like Stella James Studios,” says Shadow Mihai. To contact the producers send email to contact@stellajamesstudios.com .

The producers of C2H raise their stakes with high budget green screen effects. How well does the Xacti stand up to green screen? “Consumer cameras constantly cycle through color and aperture, which makes their color inconsistent and unsuitable for chromakey. But the Xacti picture is very clean, consistent and sharp, even on completely automated settings. Our team is able to key out green-screen with ease.” The results are breathtaking.

Says Shadow Mihai, “The Xacti’s light weight design was very freeing. It opened up lots of possibilities for filming in unorthodox locations. It’s hard to climb up on a roof with a 35 pound film camera on your shoulder, a focus man and a clapper man and all the other crew you usually need. Before using the Sanyo Xacti, I never knew what freedom meant. The carrying case is smaller than a woman’s purse, and I can put it in my pocket!”
How has the Xacti held up under the weight of a demanding professional production? With over 600 episodes shot, 400 promotional photos and more than 1000 hours of footage, the little pink camera is still in good shape.
