"My partner Jason Hervey and I have been working with some cutting-edge cameras including the new Canon 7D D-SLR that shoots amazing video in a couple of our reality projects," said Eric Bischoff of BHE TV." "We experimented with integrating some of these elements into both 'iMPACT' and 'ReACTION.' TNA's director of video production Kevin Sullivan worked closely with us to make this work, and the results are very cool," said Bischoff. "We are extremely excited that Eric and Jason have been able to bring their experience in reality and docu-drama formats to TNA in a way that would give our shows a different feel. We are very happy with the results," TNA President, Dixie Carter. TNA's in-house production team partnered with BHE TV to integrate the new production technique into "iMPACT!" and "ReACTION."
