I'm producing (and editing/directing) a new TV series called FRAMELINES about filmmakers in our state. The show is intended for PBS, so it was toned down for a more conservative vibe with music and pace. It's a 30 minute per episode show about filmmakers and film related stories to open the minds of our community to indie film as something legitimate and of interest to more and more people.

Here's the intro and title sequence I made:

or at VIMEO at:

We shot with the Sony Z1U downtown and then I made the title sequence in After Effects based on a highly modified template from VideoCopilot.net where I made it film-frame specific, added all the video clips and wound up with over 300 individual layers animated. Then I edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to add the music and transitions and color correction. Dino Tripodis, the host, is a drive time DJ with Sunny 95 FM in Columbus Ohio and an avid film producer/actor here.

By all means, let me know what you think.

I have no idea. We're uploading our shows to a PBS server that most stations have access to, so from there it's convincing the station managers in other states to want to download it and dedicate air time to it.

Here is an ON LOCATION segment for a horror film called SEASON OF DARKNESS and features our first interview with actor Richard Hatch from both iterations of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

The film stars Tim Thomerson from SCANNERS, Richard Hatch, and Tiffany Sheplis.

Right now, the show is about Ohio based filmmakers for Ohio PBS stations, also because our funding comes from city and state art councils as well as several generous businesses that are sponsoring the show. We aren't making enough money to head out of state and shoot stories, especially when those won't be of interest to our viewers (or sponsors).

If we can get a national company interested in sponsoring the show, we'll be more than happy to expand to the midwest or go national.

We haven't aired yet, so I don't know what's in the cards. I'll just be happy with another season.
 
Hi, Sonny

Excellent production standards.
The varying "FRAMELINE" backgrounds between episodes is a great idea.
I wish you the sincerest of best wishes on this wonderful project.
It's really cool.

Thanks. I'm really starting to work on the YouTube page a bit, adding many upgraded videos, etc. The focus is on filmmaking tutorials and videos that people will dig, especially beginners or the layperson.

In about 2 months, this channel should have a TON of new material, as in hours and hours of cool vids for filmmakers.

Darn money! And I should correct myself, TPT, not TCT "Twin cities Public Television"... but it'd be pretty cool, perhaps you could find a local MPLS, MN group to produce one here and put them in charge of finding funding, then giving you a cut and make it a huge pyramid scheme... never mind.
 
It takes years before any kind of move like that could happen.

Here's a 2nd part on the screenwriting roundtable. I'm surprised more people don't comment or like this, as I found the panel of screenwriters to be exceptional. It was an honor to moderate this one...

Here is a web only segment from the screenwriting roundtable. I really like what these three people have to say about the process of writing.
