MIPTV Spotlight: Novovision

NEW YORK: Marking Novovision’s first compilation show about soccer is Pop Foot, a MIPTV highlight featuring a slew of clips focused on the popular sport.

“Novovision is bringing a touch of humor for World Cup 2014 with Pop Foot,” says Francois-Xavier Poirier, the company’s founder and CEO.

Other titles being showcased by Novovision this year include Pop Video HD, containing thousands of high-definition home-video clips, and Pop & Pop, a video-gag program presented by a baby, a dog and a duck in the style of a news bulletin. “[Pop & Pop] will be made up of the best home videos featuring children and animals,” says Poirier. “It is scripted and voiced by comedians, initially in French and English versions. Other languages are planned for various international markets.”
