Gameshow Marathon

 
 

    Gameshow Marathon used six classic gameshows, like Card Sharks, Beat the Clock, Family Feud, each as a round in a larger show. The challenge was to create a set that not only had a strong image of its own, but that was big enough to hold and dramatically reveal each of the six full size classic game shows.  For the main set, I created a sloped arena with a giant classic TV screen as the focal point.  The TV split in half to reveal the classic game show being played that day.  A lot of area to cover, and a show with seven sets, all with electronic elements and gaming.  No drawings existed for the classic shows so we had to figure them out from video stills.  Luckily, some of the old timers at the CBS shop actually worked on the originals when they were teenagers.  Another tough challenge, beautifully executed and again lead by Stuart Krasnow.
