<<Thanks for the comments.. Guess I'm just sensitive.. Its unanimous, the audio needs improvement, a lot. I had used a 'boom' mic (not a real one, just a monaural mic I got from radio shack), I think I had the input levels too low. And at times you can hear the crumpling the grren screen we're standing. And there I am looking around the greenscreen, like I'm in the spa, instead the virtual set I knew I was going to use in post, lol. That was the 2nd taping of the show... I'm taping 2x/month, and its way better 'looking' than the first show. I was afraid to greenscreen any of that one, because I hadn't practised with it yet. I'm still learning as I go. I'm getting good feedback from the few who have seen it.. it doesn't air till next friday.>> ----Frank I am totally confident that all the normal production values will fall into place, because I see a solid foundation in the basic production values. It's impossible for me to imagine you NOT noticing the same things that everyone else notices and I know it's mostly a case of having to make some tough choices and go with the deadline or not go at all. I'm trying to make it as cross cultural as possible.. the first show I had a local rapper. I want to keep it mixed.. as I see too much racial division, and lack of interest from one of the other's art (of course, I also want to keep the audience as broad as possible, lol). ----That's admirable but remember that it's impossible to "be all things to all people" and also remember that "cross pollenation" eliminates cultural division. Carlos Santana is a perfect modern example of that. Art demands that cultural styles mix with each other in order to flourish and grow, so if you concentrate on the QUALITY of the "art" the cultural issues will take care of themselves. No one thinks of Carlos as a "Hispanic" musician, they just think of him as a musician. <<Some notes: I am doing everything for the show, so its kind of difficult. I have to find the guests, the locations, I write the opening and closing dialogues, all the questions for the guests, after I pre-interview them on the phone. I have to email our scenes, and questions to Devan, the lovely girl who lives in Canton and is the hostess for the show. You would think, since I wrote it, I'd be able to deliver it better, but there's all that technical stuff running thru my mind while we are taping, and its a bit difficult to 'get into the moment', lol. She was much more comfortable on camera, this time, than in the first show. She's not comfortable interviewing without having the questions in advance. One guest didn't show up that day, and I ended up being a guest (of course, I didn't mind, lol).>> ----You cant do it all yourself buddy, but there's lots of free help out there. Go to the local community college and start getting to know the radio-TV departments and start collecting some of those bright fresh young faces known as INTERNS (read: eager students). Get them to do the tedious work. <<I think I may approach the RRHOF to see if I can tape there sometime.. they have been cooperative with other local artists.. we'll see, and if I get 'in' I will ask about Leon Russell.. Who is he, btw? Tell me some of his songs, so I can be more convincing.>> http://geocities.com/mergeop The most comprehensive Leon Russell resource on the internet. ----You're gonna do just fine...I can see that you have the drive to succeed.
