The Entertainment Life

The director of the local public access TV station has offered to let some of the young folks put on their own sort of television show that they want to broadcast on cable TV. How cool is that? This is a really nice opportunity for them to take part in something that is not readily available to every kid, to say the least. They want them to have full creative and technical license, so it will be a unique learning experience, and they get to work together to think it up and film and edit it.

What’s also cool is that the station has state of the art equipment, so the kids get to learn and get comfortable with the latest software and digital film and editing equipment, though in the modern era, editing is basically done on a computer.

It’s times like these that I think A really flourishes, and N has been invited to take part, as well. Though maybe not as creative/expressive (at least not outwardly) as his sister, he can definitely have a great experience working from the technical side. Plus, he’ll learn a lot from his sister, and may even find some inspiration.

The gentlemen who runs the station is a really supportive and nice guy, and he seems to like A’s book club/group. He said he wants to challenge the kids and see what they come up with, and in end, whatever they come up will be an accomplishment because it will be of their making.

Like Woody Allen said, 80% of life is just showing up.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to lysurgis23 for the pic.
