april 19th class w/ jon brekke

hi folks, please get your segments in asap. when jon comes in tomorrow, he will give a brief presentation of what oceanic 16 is up to in terms of interactive tv. they are also looking for shows, interns and workers as they ramp up their production efforts. he will also intro some of his work and background as an independent producer and tv producer/writer at oc-16.

he is looking forward to hearing about the show the class has outlined, as well as your individual pitches.

if you want to pitch an idea for a tv or interactive show to him, come with a one-page bulletpoint presentation. you may want to polish your pitch packet and deliver it to him in a couple of weeks, rather than leave him anything tomorrow. he should be open to that.

also, i can do a general outline of the tv show, but writer/producers should be able to give an overview of the individual segments, as well as what you folks feel about the overall look or feel of the program.

if any of you have suggestions for the title of the show, let me know. it is a magazine format interactive show (i.e., both on traditional tv and produced with internet delivery as an endpoint). here are some possibilities off the top of my head:

rainbow report
voice of hawai'i
hawai'i in depth
manoa chronicles
manoa mana'o
the valley chronicle
mana manoa

etc.

what do you think? we should at least have a working title on the tv show. per the above, let's think about this as an interactive tv program, since that is what oc-16 is looking for and turning towards.

please finalize your segment and get it posted on the blog. aloha, pete
