Back in 2009, when SyFy rebranded itself from Scifi, the network had commissed a group to create what was known as the "House of Imagination" video. It was essentially a promo for its shows and contained cast members from the various SyFy series.
As it turns out, that branding video went on to win a lot of awards:
House of Imagination recently received 14 awards Promax/BDA Awards, including being named the # 1 promotion of the year by the Special Awards Committee. It was also nominated in two categories at AICP, while also being recognized by the Art Directors Awards and the Creativity Awards.
Now, the creative team behind that original video has reunited to create "House of Imagination 2", which we have for you to enjoy below:
Featuring talent from Syfy’s popular series Warehouse 13 (Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Allison Scagliotti); Stargate Universe (Brian J. Smith, Elyse Levesque, David Blue, Alaina Huffman, Jamil Walker Smith, Ming-Na); Haven (Emily Rose, Lucas Bryant, Eric Balfour), and Friday Night SmackDown (Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Rev Mysterio), the new House of Imagination film will explore the limitless possibilities and fantastical spirit of the Syfy experience.
“The film was truly a global collaboration, which was shot over four days with more than 100 cast and crew, and rejoins the never ending house party that we created in the first film,” said Engleman. “This time two young couples find themselves on a trip through the House of Imagination, where they find that anything can and does happen, including rooms made entirely of liquid and an epic battle between WWE Superstars who can defy gravity thanks to a photo-sonic phantom rig. Brett (Foraker), Larry (Fong), Tino (Schaedler) and the guys from MPC have really outdone themselves yet again in helping elevate the Syfy brand.”
Once again directed and produced by Brett Foraker for 4creative, UK Channel 4’s creative resource, the film will premiere on Syfy along with the channel’s summer original programming Warehouse 13 on July 6, and Eureka and Haven on July 9.
It's interesting to note that the cast of Caprica is absent from the video below. The series didn't get great ratings and the network hasn't annouced a renewal yet. Is that a sign or are we just reading into things? The cast of Eureka is also missing, but that show's new season is premiering on July 9.
