This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I'm looking forward to a new TV project directed by Gary Clark. The idea was developed and the story fleshed out by two fans of The Virginian who then turned to Gary for help. The story is for children, and their parents and grandparents. They're raising the money for a production crew through a website called Kickstarters. There's several interesting things going on here. Kickstarters.com is a new idea that allows a lot of "believers" of a project to participate through donations starting as small as $10, the sky being the limit. The advantage over just finding a wealthy investor/producer is that they keep control and don't lose the vision of the project. (I've considered that aspect with ideas of my own.) It makes it sort of a grass roots operation and allows those with the original ideas and effort to keep the integrity of the project. The authors, script writers, and maybe some actors volunteer their time at first with only a possibility of pay-off if successful. A production crew, however, needs to be paid, so funds have to be raised to handle the technical stuff and expertise. Usually, the ones with the money (producers) end up with control over script changes, the direction a project goes, and the image it projects. I like that it was inspired by old TV westerns, particularly The Virginian, and the viewers turned to the cast for help. This particular story is about a modern boy in a wheelchair who fantasizes about cowboys. It maintains the family value structure and upholds solid moral values. It will use animation and other ideas to keep a young audience interested. So, if you don't like what you see on TV, quit complaining and write your own. Power to the people. |
