Nice One Productions have recently completed Research & Development on a project seeking feasibility of a TV competition show for teams of independent video game developers to develop original content. Similar in structure to such popular programmes as The Great British Bake Off or Project Runway, the project, Pixel Perfect, would seek to showcase indie games, niche video games developed by small independent developers, highlighting homegrown talent and the impact of game production on the national and international economy. Following their conceptual research, the team has put together a Format Bible to guide production companies from international territories to purchase the rights to make their own local version and a sizzle reel highlighting the impact of game development on the economy, creative industries’ input and public interest in the project.
Nice One Productions is a television production company based in Belfast. They create, collaborate, and produce formats and scripted comedy from a base in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
