OUR BIGGEST PRODUCTION YET: FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT
CASE STUDY: ENTERTAINING A FAMILY OF OVER 40 MILLION VIEWERS.
Great storytelling has the power to bring us together, especially if there’s buttered popcorn involved. In our biggest production to date, and we do mean BIG, we contracted with P&G and Walmart to create, develop and execute Family Movie Night designed to bring families together to watch great movies on Friday and Saturday nights and listen to the original soundtracks for years to come.
​
Our Flyover Studios team did it all: We created, produced, branded, marketed, and distributed nine new Flyover movies and 4 original soundtrack albums that over 40 MILLION VIEWERS across the USA enjoyed in prime time on NBC and Fox. To pull this off, we raised over $100 million negotiating sponsorship deals with blue chip advertisers such as: P&G, Walmart, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Apple, FedEx, LG, AT&T, NASCAR, HP, Hasbro, ConAgra, Chik-fil-A, State Farm, Kellogg’s, Kraft, 20th Century Fox, Sony and many others.
Besides making great movies, we also contracted with Grammy Award winning music producer and American Idol judge Randy Jackson to be our music supervisor and soundtrack producer for 4 CD albums that sold approximately 800,000 units as part of a special Bonus Pack with the DVDs. These albums included 33 original songs produced by Flyover Studios and Randy Jackson. Our favorite part of the creative collaboration process was introducing unknown artists to the world, including songwriters and recording artists as well as concept writers and actors. One of our original songs, "Change" by Brooke White, peaked at 29th in the USA on the Top 40 Adult Contemporary Chart in July, 2010.
We also created custom product placements into the movies and kept viewers from changing the channel during commercial breaks by creating bumpers and billboards with intriguing Trivial Pursuit questions. Ad Age hailed Family Movie Night as one of the Top 10 Product Placements of the Last Decade. And after the movies aired on TV, we kept the story going on DVD and Blu-ray so families could watch them over and over.
​
We also made Walmart’s aisles come alive with our customized Family Movie Night in-store displays and features in the Walmart circular that led to millions of dollars in additional sales and over ONE MILLION Family Movie Night DVDs being sold. This comprehensive retail and marketing initiative led by Flyover Studios won a Bronze Effie Award in 2012.
​
Family Movie Night was also a launching pad for our sponsors’ new products, like Microsoft’s innovative Xbox Kinect, in which we offered a unique opportunity where we: featured it in THE JENSEN PROJECT movie, created a custom commercial featuring the star of the movie who used it on screen, negotiated Microsoft's first ever feature in the Walmart Circular and in-store display, and set up a pre-ordering system at Walmart.com. Microsoft reported that over 1 million units were sold at Walmart alone in the first weekend it launched.
​
And finally, to embrace the universal truths within each movie, we collaborated with not-for-profit organizations such as Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, USO, Fort Belvoir, Wounded Warrior Project, Walter Reed Hospital, National Naval Medical Center, Operation Family Connect, National Council for Adoption, Special Olympics, NEA’s Bully Free Starts With Me, and Give Education, inspiring viewers to do more than watch—to take action.
When it all wrapped up, our sponsors had the perfect ending: over ONE BILLION MARKETING IMPRESSIONS on average per movie, and over 40 million viewers who were grateful for all the Family Movie Night events.
Multiple awards came our way including a Top 40 Adult Contemporary Hit for "Change", a song we developed with Brooke White, and a Bronze Effie Award for Family Movie Night promotion that included TV spots, print ads, newspaper ads, radio spots, in-store displays, the Walmart Circular, PR events at our movie sets, DVD packaging and menu systems, CD soundtrack album production, branding, logos, poster art and social media campaigns. Ad Age voted Family Movie Night as one of the Top 10 Product Placements of the Decade. We were also thrilled that the Directors Guild of America nominated Doug Barr, our Director for Secrets of The Mountain, for the Outstanding Directorial Achievement Award. That’s a powerful story we wouldn’t mind repeating again! In fact, we are working on the stories for our next round of Flyover movies so families can enjoy Family Movie Night together for years to come.
