LOCAL STARS SHINING BRIGHTLY FOR CHRISTMAS

Children from Albany Primary and Roath Park have been featured in national TV sponsorship advertisements for What’s in the Bible, the official sponsors of the hit Channel 5 TV series, The Bible.

Created by Cardiff-based TV Production Company, Candy Jar Films, the team interviewed children from both schools, asking them about their knowledge of The Bible.

Answers included “Three Wise Shepherds,” “It has a story about God,” “Noah’s Ark and there’s a boat,” and “My sister ripped out all the pages.”

Shaun Russell, director at Candy Jar, said: “Being a multi-cultural and diverse city, Cardiff was an obvious place for us to film these adverts. Both schools were incredibly accommodating and supportive of this project. We were really impressed with the breadth of knowledge demonstrated by these Welsh children.”

The Bible is an epic 10-hour mini-series that brings to life the dramatic tales of faith and courage in the most widely-read book of all time. Breath-taking in scope and scale, it features powerful performances, exotic locations and cutting-edge visual effects.

The remaining episodes of the series, which focus on the story of Jesus Christ, continue this Saturday (21^st December) and conclude Sunday (22^nd December) on Channel 5.

CANDY JAR COMPLETES CHANNEL 5 ADVERTS!

Candy Jar Films was asked by 'What's in the Bible?' to produce a series of short 'stings' to appear during ad breaks for the Channel 5 TV series 'The Bible' broadcast on Channel 5 in November.

Created by Phil Vischer, famous for producing VeggieTales, 'What's in the Bible?' sets out to teach kids (and parents!) the story of the Bible. Many of us know the stories of Moses, Noah, David, and Jesus, but in this ground-breaking new family video series, the audience is shown how they all fit together to tell one big, redemptive story. In 'What's in the Bible?' Buck Denver and his friends take the audience on a journey through the whole Bible, featuring witty dialogue, fast-paced animation and catchy tunes.

The Candy Jar team set out to interview children from local schools about their knowledge of the Bible, using funny and interesting responses to create the stings. Shot in front of a 'green screen', we then replaced the background with a variety of different colours in post production.

Thanks to Albany Road School and Roath Primary School for allowing us to come in and film during the day.

Candy Jar Films is available for all kinds of filming work - big or small. Please get in touch to see how we can help you.
