ABOUT THE PROJECT
The success of NBC’s American Ninja Warrior brought the legendary production to Universal Orlando Resort in a synergetic partnership experience. As the Event/Production Manager for this 4-day shoot for qualifiers and finals events, the orchestrated efforts of multiple teams and stakeholders aligned on a tight schedule was paramount. Many of the shoots had to be filmed overnight to avoid interference with day guests entering Universal Studios Orlando.
Proactive execution and organized scheduled planning was key in anticipating much of these events where outcomes were unpredictable until contestants actually ran the course. The additional elements of audience management and entertainment management brought together many teams to work as one to pull off one of the most successful stops Ninja Warrior has made to date.
