  1. Everyone’s busting a gut

    November 10, 2011 by toddmgreen

    Everyone working on this project – both from FremantleMedia and from Community Links, and especially Josephine and the young participants – is busting a gut to make it as successful as possible.

    I thought I’d share three examples. Even though they’re all drawn from my experience of the past 12 hours, I think that they’re representative of what everyone involved has put in to make Me In TV happen.

    Exhibit A: Blackberry screen-shot (22:59 last night)

    Last night Josephine and I emailed each other almost simultaneously, just before 11pm – rather to each other’s surprise. (N.B. the evidence that we’re treating the people attending Friday’s wrap lunch!).

    Exhibit B: notepad (05:15 this morning)

    I keep this notepad in the drawer beside the bed. I woke up at about 05:15 this morning, and had a few ideas / reminders to write down. At first, in the pitch black, I could only find a pencil. Then I figured that the pencil might not be sharp, so I groped around and found a pen to use instead. I realise now that even non-sharp pencils still write, whereas

    pens may dry up, but at the time it made sense…

    Exhibit C: site down (06:17 this morning)

    I decided to get up, since I couldn’t sleep and had stuff to do. I popped open the site – or tried to… and got this message. Aargh! I checked my other sites and, since all of them were down too, I figured it must be a hosting problem. I spent 15 mins waiting for a live support chat connection, refreshing the Me In TV site every minute or so, and then it came back. Phew!

    Next time…

    If there is a next time, I’ll definitely prep a fair bit of the stuff we’ve been doing this week in advance. That said, we could only have learnt most of those things on the hoof. For me, that’s part of the fun – improvising and learning as you go. I’m not sure that everyone involved shares that view (and, to be clear, it has not

    For now, though, it’s time to order that lunch for Friday.


  2. Me In TV: Day 1

    November 7, 2011 by toddmgreen

    Day 1 was all about development. And it was a whirlwind!

    Julie Donovan and Tracy-Jean spent the day with the students talking about the ways in which FremantleMedia develops new ideas, generating stacks of ideas and passing on all manner of handy tips.

    It was pretty intense all round – everyone seemed pretty bushed by the end.

    But by the time they signed off for day 1, the two teams were pretty much done with the preparations for filming

  3. The pilot

    July 4, 2011 by toddmgreen

    In autumn 2010 I began work on what has turned out to be the pilot version of Me In TV.

    The original idea was simply to give the young people their first contacts in the industry. The whole group would meet, chat for a while, then split off into pairs – each young person would be matched with a TV pro who is experienced in their specific area of interest (so a youngster interested in camera work would be paired with a cameraman).

    The idea took shape

    in my mind over a few weeks. As soon as I started discussing it with other people, though, it evolved beyond all recognition.

    Thinking bigger

    Jamie, a friend who does executive coaching, encouraged me to think bigger: more people, more time, and more benefits all round.

    Then I found Mark, the colleague who was to help me run the programme, and he made that more ambitious vision a reality: it turned it into a full day of practical skills, close contact with TV pros, and career advice.

    We ended up giving three young guys a morning of camera training, an hour of on-screen training with a well-respected presenter, and an afternoon of edit training.

    Better yet, everything they learnt contributed to a tangible outcome: by the end of the day each participant had created a 60-second film that focused everyone’s minds and

    None of that would have happened without the input of the two guys who transformed my original idea.

    with others, an idea can develop into something you could never have imagined alone.

    Up next…

    This one-day project taught me a bunch of useful and interesting things, several of which I’ll write about in the context of this project.

    It also sparked the idea for Me In TV. It wasn’t supposed to be the pilot version of anything – I just wanted to try something new – but the response from everyone involved was so great that I’m convinced there’s huge potential in the basic ideas:

    1. Bring people with overlapping interests together

    2. Give them a shared goal

    3. Introduce the right amount of structure, and leave them the right amount of freedom
