Published February 21, 2008 03:46 pm - Andi Ward’s friends in Los Angeles refer to her as the “Kentucky girl.”

Oh, baby! - Woman with local ties is producer on reality show

GLASGOW

Andi Ward’s friends in Los Angeles refer to her as the “Kentucky girl.”

Ward, who is originally from Glasgow, moved to L.A. seven years ago to find a job in the entertainment industry.

“I worked really hard contacting tons of people to find a job. I had to work for free as a second assistant editor for a movie on A&E. Then I fell into reality somehow when I got a job on National Geographic show,” she said.

That led to several other jobs in television, including one as producer for “The Amazing Race” for seasons five through eight.

Her latest assignment is producer of NBC’s “The Baby Borrowers,” which is yet to air.

“Baby Borrowers” is a reality show from England and serves as a social experiment that allows five teenage couples to experience life in fast forward.

“It makes teens who think they are ready for adulthood and parenthood realize what they would be getting into,” Ward said. “The show gives the teens jobs, and then they take care of babies for three days, then toddlers for three days, preteens for three days, teens for three days and elderly people for three days.”

Production of the show began in late July and lasted through the middle of August.

“All of the shows were fully completed by the end of November. Now it’s up to NBC to figure out when they want to air ‘Baby Borrowers’ and what time slot they want to put it in,” she said.

Ward is actually one of five producers on the show. Her primary job was to follow one of the couples. Joining her was a segment producer and three camera and audio crews.

The show is set in a cul-de-sac in a Boise, Idaho, suburb. Five of the condos were for the teens. Another one served as a monitoring room, where the producers could watch what each of the couples was doing at any given time.

“We also used the condos for the transportation department, accounting, a tech room, the art department and production offices,” she said. “Also, there was a house where the parents who let the teens borrow their children were able to monitor the teenage couple and their house.”

In each house, cameras were mounted in every room, except the bathrooms.

“We shot for 18 days straight, with no days off,” Ward said. “Since parenting doesn’t allow you to have any days off, the teenagers didn’t get any days off from parenting.”

Ward followed Jordan and Sasha.
