New RTL Game Show — The Battle Of the Sexes from MMC's Coloneum

Two sexes, two completely different worlds: In this new RTL Game Show, actors, presenters, singers and comedians compete while getting to the bottom of intriguing questions: which sex is more humorous, smarter, more sensitive, faster and more creative?

In a nutshell: Who is better—men or women? Led by their team captains, Joachim Llambi and Mirja Boes, the celebrities are supported in every possible way by a studio audience containing 200 men and 200 women. Which team will win the battle of the sexes? It's all about honor—and attractive prizes for the winning sex in the audience!

Whoever emerges as the winner of this celebrity competition will delight the audience members of their own sex: The 200 men and 200 women sitting in the studio in separate blocks, cheering on their celebrity teams, can rejoice if their team is victorious―because the prize money will be distributed to all the winners in the studio.

Jungen gegen Maedchen is recorded at MMC’s studio 36 at the Coloneum in Cologne, Germany, on behalf of production company Schwartzkopff TV.

For the HD production, a total of 8 GVG LDK 8000 cameras are used, including one camera on a SuperTechno 30-crane. In addition, there are 5 cameras of the same type on Vinten Quattro studio pedestals. Wireless cameras of type GVG LDK 8000 are used as a hand-held camera and as a Steadicam.

The video signals are mixed on a GVG Kayenne XL (3.5 M/E) at MMC’s HD control room 11. For the recordings, 6 XDCAM HD VTRs are used.

The set construction and the media-technology for the show are provided by MMC’s art department.

Mark Achterberg is the director. The lighting design for Jungen gegen Maedchen is by Jerry Appelt. On behalf of MMC, project manager Susanne Knapp supervises the show.

RTL will present the new show highlight Jungen gegen Maedchen on Friday, April 13th, at 22.50 h.
