PRODUCTION

With more than 30 series delivered or in production since the company's inception, Decode has become one of the largest and most important suppliers of programming for young audiences worldwide.

The production division develops a limited slate of programming that typically covers all age ranges, from pre-school to teen programming, thus ensuring that no one DECODE series will compete with another on the slate. Taking advantage of its role as a major international supplier of programming which is constantly receiving feedback from its worldwide clients, the company's projects are often driven by specific market needs and opportunities. The company also tests its development at early stages with its worldwide customers. This has led to an exceptionally high number of DECODE developed projects going into production and becoming successful worldwide.

Decode's producers hire the industry's best creative talent and employ innovative production techniques to ensure that the company's series are outstanding so that they stand out in a crowded competitive environment.

DECODE's current slate includes RDF’s Waybuloo, CGI/live action hybrid series Dirtgirlworld, 2D series Poppetstown and season 3 of the critically acclaimed series Franny’s Feet. DECODE continues to use a variety of animation software to produce its series. Previous CGI productions include Chop Socky Chooks, Planet Sketch, Urban Vermin and The Save-Um's. 2D Digital productions include Delilah and Julius, Naughty Naughty Pets and prime time co-production Bromwell High with one of Britain's leading comedy producers, Hat Trick Productions (UK). Traditional cell animation series include King, and Undergrads, a prime time coproduction with MTV.

The company also produces live action "tween" series for the older children's market. The company has just finished production on The Latest Buzz for the Family Channel in Canada, while other live action series produced and distributed by the company include Naturally Sadie, Radio Free Roscoe, The Blobheads (CGI/live action mix) and The Zack Files.
