The new production facilities: Viacom International Studios in Miami have such capacity to allow the company to make four telenovelas at the same time.“Using daily scripted telenovelas as an example, the studios are so big that it is possible to make four at the same time. The capacity of the new studios is huge and aside from Spanish for Latin America, we are producing in English for Nickelodeon US, this will work wonderfully, because we traditionally use the same set for the version of the show in Spanish and in English”, explained to PRODU, a proud Pierluigi Gazzolo, president of VIMN The Americas and executive VP at Nickelodeon International.One of the things that excites Gazzolo the most about this project is that it places Miami on the international production map of the company.“We are going to produce for MTV in several languages, for Comedy Central in several languages. It is not a studio where we are only going to do Spanish and English for Nickelodeon, but are also going to produce content for Europe, for America and for Asia. All the MTV and Comedy Central formats and of other brands to come” he expressed.He stated that in November they will begin to fit out and decorate the studio and by January 2016 start the first two productions, one that will be for Nickelodeon. “We currently have a total of seven projects for development” he ended.
