Letter from Fox Television Productions
At Vegas Electric we really love to apply our knowledge and
skill to a new challenge. So imagine our excitement when the
FOX Network (Fox Island Productions, a unit of Fox Filmed
Entertainment and Fox Television) chose to shoot Temptation
Island (European Episodes) on Roatan and asked us to provide
their electrical and communication needs during the shoot.
From June to October of 2001, Vegas Electric provided a whole
host of services to network international crews and staff.
We were in charge of basic power circuits, lighting, and wiring
at on-location and remote shooting areas. We developed the
radio repeater system that joined three base units with numerous
mobile stations for shuttle buses, crew, and staff vehicles.
We provided temporary rental central telephone communication
systems with eight dedicated lines and a fax, and sixteen
extensions for production office facilities which were then
used by the various international filming crews throughout
the shoot. We protected the computer and telephone systems
with an isolated grounding uninterruptable power system. We
also did extensive underground distribution wiring at Palmetto
Bay, one of the two main filming locations.
Did we meet this exciting new challenge with flying colors?
Just read from the consulting producer's letter to us when
Fox headed out for the next project elsewhere!

pleasure having the opportunity to work with you and your
company during our shoot here in Roatan for Temptation Island
International. The services provided by you and your team
were of the highest level. All the work was completed within
the time frame estimated and within the quote as provided
by your company. Thank you, as this assisted our production
to maintain its schedule and budget. Should FOX return to
Roatan for a second season, we would have no hesitation in
working with you again. In the event that FOX decides to shoot
any other production in Roatan, we will strongly recommend
to that division or production, your company's services. Again,
thank you for all that you contributed in the successful completion
of Temptation Island International's first season (on Roatan)."
Thank you Ms. Hanich and Fox! The pleasure was ours!
