HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-09-20, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2007.Look for Walton to make a guest
appearance on YTV and FOX Kids
later this year, but it might look a
little muddy.
A near-40-person crew stopped
into Walton last week for two days of
shooting for a new show called The
Adrenaline Project, which is set to
air on YTV on Sept. 29.
The show, which is described by
the executive producer and creator,
Matt Hornburg, as “a fear factor for
kids” will air on Saturday nights on
YTV in Canada and on
Saturday mornings on FOX Kids
in the United States, starting Sept.
29.
Chris Lee opened his track to the
show after being contacted around a
month ago, right around the
time he hosted the Walton TransCan
race.
Lee said it was great to have the
crew around for the two days and
they had a great time, but they
worked hard.
“They keep crazy hours. They
were here at 6:30 a.m. [Sept. 10]
from Toronto, they stayed the night
in Goderich and were setting up to
shoot again at 5:30 a.m. [on Sept.
11]. So it was pretty intense, they
work very hard,” Lee said.
“Just adding it up, I think they
probably dropped about $15,000 in
Huron County, just on
accommodation, food and other
random things they needed.”
Lee said the crew stayed in
Goderich for the one night they were
here and all of their food was catered
by the Blyth Inn.Hornburg said Walton was perfectfor the episode they shot. He said thetrack was great, albeit a bit wet as it
had rained that day, but the rural
backdrop of Walton looked exactly
how he wanted the episode to
look.
Hornburg, who is a partner in
Marble Media, which he created
with his business partner in 2001,
worked on the production of the
popular kids’ program, This is
Daniel Cook and now has his
sights set on a slightly older
demographic.
The Adrenaline Project takes a
small group of teenagers, aged 14-16
to boot camp to start the show off.
The camp is headed up by an
imposing drill sergeant named
Boomer, who puts the kids
through several rigorous routines
and tests.
Once several have been
eliminated, the kids who are left in
the competition then participate in
some sort of extreme sport event.
This episode, which will be one of
the later episodes, the kids were
surprised to find out that they would
be competing against each other in a
motocross race.
The crew has been working all
summer, filming all 13 episodes with
the two days in Walton being the
beginning of the final week of
shooting.
Lee said the production was very
sophisticated, with each bike being
supplied by Yamaha Canada in
Toronto and then being equipped
with pencil cameras for the in-ride
view of the race.
Lee’s son Matt was on hand to
work with the riders on Sept. 10, to
show them the ropes and prepare
them for the race on Sept. 11.
Lee says he is looking forward to
watching the show. He says that his
track is no stranger to television
crews, but this was the most
sophisticated he has ever seen. He
was also interested in how they shot
the show.
“There’s lots of fast cuts and
music and special effects with a
host,” he said. “It looks
totally different from anything I’ve
seen.”
On Sept. 10, Lee brought in
several local riders to help the crew
set up to shoot. They ran through the
course while the crew decided where
to shoot. The riders were James
Emmrich of Walton, Matt Shannon
of Seaforth and Jackie Henderson of
Bluevale.
Hornburg said he has developed
this show with longevity, saying that
all 13 episodes they’ve already shot
will air and that he is hoping for
multiple seasons.

Lending a hand
Chris Lee was on hand during the shooting of The Adrenaline Project, an upcoming show for
YTV and FOX Kids to lend a hand or some expertise regarding motocross whenever he was
needed last week when the crew spent two days in the area shooting for the show. Lee
estimates that the near 40-person crew spent at least $15,000 in the area, feeding that money
into the economy through accommodation in Goderich, food from the Blyth Inn and other
miscellaneous expenses. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

the later ones of the season, the contestants learned to ride
dirt bikes on Chris Lee’s track in Walton. The Adrenaline
Project premieres in late September. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
