Try to go for different "segment" ideas to keep things rolling... beyond just industry news, have stuff like rants & raves, presentation horror stories, booth horror stories, and of course tips & trips which was already suggested. We already have the forum for news and information on this stuff, so I think the goal should be to add another dimension and make the show something really fun to listen to. I for one hate listening to podcasts where conversations are conducted over Skype... there's just something missing when the people aren't in the same room with eachother, and makes it less interesting to listen to. I realize this is probably near impossible, but it's just something to keep in mind for when it might be possible to have the person actually there with you.  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-08-2007 08:43 PM                        Dear Mike May I suggest an alternative that will achieve the same ends? I recently became acquainted with an Amateur Radio/Technology/Computing/Digital Photography show called Amateurlogic.tv You can find it at www.amateurlogic.com There are 3 guys originally all from Mississippi who put together a monthly IPTV show. It's great. However they are finding the workload a bit hard and are encouraging people to send in segments to be included on the show, thus lightening their workload. All the guys use Panasonic 3CCD cameras. I have taken up the challenge and just purchased a Panasonic NV-GS300 and hope to film some Amateur Radio and other segments in the very near future down here in Melbourne Australia. I also hope to film a tour of a local projection room at a Drive-in Theatre and look at the equipment and radio transmitting equipment used (Lunar, Dromana - any offers?) I think what you are proposing would mesh very neatly with the general ambience of the program but you need to go to video not audio. Remember film is a visual medium and pictures tell a thousand words. I would also encourage others with the appropriate video equipment and interest to submit segments for inclusion on the program. It would be great to get some items about film or projection included and also see some of the folks who hang around here in glorious DIGITAL VIDEO. In particular perhaps John Pytlak, when his health improves, might like to take up the challenge and do some segments. John is a fountain of knowledge and I would love to see him do some segments about film, perhaps on formats or basic projection techniques. cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged
