“This is My Family” talent show at Belarus 2 introduces unique children and their parents

Sing, dance, know a lot and improvise the best. Such are the young heroes of the talent show. In the new season, the TV channel “Belarus 2” pleased the audience with content that gives genuine emotions. The authors of the project managed to find the most active, creative and positive children, whose abilities were previously known only to loved ones. And now the whole country.

The ideal hero of the Talent Show is a familiar television format, extremely popular in many countries. But the team of the Belarusian project did not want to go along the beaten track, where the child goes on stage with a rehearsed number. Elena Obraztsova, Chief Director of the Main Directorate of the TV channel “Belarus 2”, told about the advantages of the new program and its message: – In the grid of our entertainment channel, the program “This is My Family” occupies a special place. It promotes traditional family values. In ordinary life, we look with surprise and admiration at children and their hobbies, we are fond of their “adult” reflections, funny reactions. Why don't we show these charismatic guys? There is no jury or evaluation. There are happy families where talented children grow up. A great reason to gather at the TV screen with the whole family - children, parents, grandparents. A large professional team was engaged in the search for gifted boys and girls. The task is not easy: the ideal hero of the program is a lively and emotional child who is not afraid of cameras and spotlights. But a unique musical ear, a strong voice or exceptional skills are not the main thing, says the producer of the program Herman Malyschitsky:

Looking for direct, open and charismatic children. I remember a 4-year-old barista. Despite his young age, the boy is versed in coffee varieties and can make a drink on his own. Another player plays on church bells. I was surprised by the little boy who knew everything about the Soviet Union. His parents are not historians at all. That's the thing about the project: You never know what an amazing little person you'll meet. On Instagram, short clippings from the program received more than 300,000 views. The project is viewed on YouTube and VK. Young heroes of the program are a separate universe, with its own character and habits. It was not always possible to quickly find a common language with them, even taking into account the fact that most are sociable, the producer continues:

- Children are always unpredictable. Can perform at concerts, family or school, city holidays, but come to the studio and close internally. Conversely, sometimes you don’t expect something extraordinary, but there is the diamond that everyone pays attention to. It's the real magic of the project.

Not only Belarusians worked on the show. In the team is the Russian director of children's programs Anton Mikhalev. He manages to find a common language with heroes of different ages and temperaments. Both the director and other employees, including host Vasya Chekhov, sometimes had to overcome situations when the guys were embarrassed to go to the set. But after 10 minutes the clamp was gone, the young guests relaxed and chatted non-stop.

- Squeezing sometimes comes from parents, shares Herman Malyshchitsky. Adults want the best, so pull: “behave like this”, “keep your back straight”. That's not right. Children are beautiful in their immediacy. Before entering the frame, they were sometimes separated from their mothers and fathers for a more relaxed psychological mood. In the best light, parents are loyal to filming on TV. The team received almost no refusals to participate in the project. Such trust is expensive, argues Herman Malyshchitsky:

Belteleradiocompany has been successfully launching major creative projects for a long time. What are only super hits "Factor.by" and "Factor.by". Children who worked for an impeccable reputation. The TV channel is trusted by moms and dads all over the country because they know that their children are in safe hands. We show the children in the best light and do everything in our power to make the appearance of the family in the project the most positive memory for her. In order to find creative gems, the team turned to education committees, kindergartens and schools. The result of painstaking work is 40 issues of the program. One episode takes up to 10 minutes of airtime, but the shooting took about an hour. During the day in the frame managed to visit 10-12 families. Parents of young heroes are representatives of a variety of professions: teachers, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs. They do not hide that they are happy to wait for releases with their participation.

The project producer concludes:

The program “This is my family” proves that our loved ones are the main value. And these aren't grandiose words. When you see a large and friendly family on the other side of the screen, where children and parents have amazing relationships, they talk about their lives, share their successes, and feel special inspiration. We will continue to acquaint viewers with the most fun, unusual and creative characters from all over Belarus. The talent show “This is My Family” is shown every Sunday at 17:00 on the TV channel “Belarus 2”.
