Production
Its work-in-progress title was Enchanted Camelot (acquired as such in 1994 by LIVE Entertainment, along with Skysurfer Strike Force and Highlander: The Animated Series). Enchanted Camelot was noticeably different than the show's final version, including major differences in character design. It was described as "a fantasy adventure about a wizard and a beautiful princess who have to keep mystical enchanted jewels out the grasp of evil forces." The show was renamed twice in the course of development, first to Princess Guinevere and Her Jewel Adventures in March 1995, before eventually becoming Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders.
The series was scored by Louis Fagenson, who recalled, "It was my first series and I had to crank out 18-20 minutes of music a week. Episodes would air two weeks after I scored them. No room for error and because the production company was based in New York, I was on my own as far as musical direction. I had to clue into the art of directing." The show's CGI effects were done by Ian Tetrault in Autodesk 3ds Max and Adobe After Effects. The titular role actress was changed for the second season when Butler had to go to Canada to do Beauty and the Beast. One of the show's character designers was the future Emmy Award winner Rob Davies.
According to The Buffalo News, "the production team intended for the Jewel Riders to serve as positive role models for girls." Bohbot's press kit for the series described it as "classic story-telling," incorporating "strong themes of friendship, teamwork, responsibility and conflict resolution without violence." After the second season, the show has not been renewed for 1997. A third season was reportedly planned for the fall 1998.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
