Lets find the Stars.

This is just a bit of fun but amazing programming non the less. Would this get airtime on normal TV? Probably not but online this guys a star. I wonder how many stars are in Pembrokeshire just waiting to be found.

PAVS Intro

Just had a phone call from Caroline Graham of PAVS hopefully will get a meeting to see whether the project fits into their remit. (Thanks Darren B) Should it be a Charity, Group? Feedback welcoemd.

Show Ideas

I have an idea for a show to get the content ball rolling. It could be called simply The Pembrokeshire Show. It would cover everything a bit like the old pebble mill. Live bands, on the couch debates and interesting interviews. It would last about 15 mins and be shot live every friday at the FREE studio location. It would be vision mixed on the fly and recorded straight to PC so that it could be uploaded quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Give me some comments about this.

Also I would not want the show to be branded as anything as it would be much better if it was a general programme that any pembrokeshire based website could place on their site so that it received more coverage and more people could connect to it.

Sections could include:
  • The three minute debate. Two people on the couch with opposing ideas one minute each to put forward. One minute to debate.
  • The 5 minute chef. A chef runs through cooking ideas in 5 mins.
  • A live band perform a single track.
  • 2 Day Buzz. Whats on this weekend.
  • Shire Folk. An interview with an interesting person in the county.
Got any more ideas? Lets hear them.

FREE Studio

Also this week we secured the assistance of a property developer to allow the use of a dockside premesis as a temporary studio. Whats more it has been agreed in principle that this will be provided for FREE.

Update

OK so its been a while since my last post I've been trying out some other video host services. So far I have found youtube.com to have the most flexible service plus they allow playlists which is a must. Also I have spoken to various interested parties and they all seem very keen to see a not for profit service in operation in the county.

The video playlist below looks best if you use the dimensions 400 x 280 (pixels)
