Tuesday nights at 11pm on November 4th,
11th, 18th and 25th on COX Channel 31 (30 minutes)
- Highlights from the What's Up from
the October 2003 meeting of the OCA at Chapman University
- Highlights of the presentation
by Stephan Edberg of JPL on "Cassini-Huygens Explores
the Saturn System" at the OCA's banquet in October.
 
 
 
Usually the show features highlights
of the presentations from the OCA Meeting. This moth (October)
we had a fantastic presentation by Milke Weasner (of the "Weasner's
Mighty ETX" web site. Unfortunately, the rules for Pubic
Access Cable content are very strict about the programs being
of a noncommercial nature... and although Mikes presentation
was far from being a sales-pitch for Meade.. I decided not
to risk the program being rejected by COX. I therefore used
the presentation by Stephen Edberg of JPL that he gave at
the OCA's annual banquet in October. The OCATV SIG did tape
the full meeting including Mikes presentation and I may (when
I find the time) create a special on-line only version of
the meeting.
As is usual... I never quite have
the time available that I would like to spend in the post-production
editing of the program. I spend about 3 days of work to edit
the program from the approximately 2 hours (times 3 tapes)
to the 30 minute format of the show. It takes me the most
amount of time just in making the decisions about which parts
of the presentations to cut out. I really wish that I did
not have to do that... as the result of course is the presentation
on the TV show is a very much clipped version of the real
thing. At some point I would like to go back and re-edit the
meetings so that we have the original presentations available
with almost no items discarded. Unfortunately THAT will take
a lot more time that I just don't have right now.
Luckily COX now trust me to produce
a good quality tape to their specification (content and format)
so they again allowed me to get it to them very late. I dropped
the tape off on Friday October 31st and it is broadcast the
following Tuesday.
I managed to get the powerpoint slides
for each of the presentations (Chris's What's Up and the talk
by Stephen Edberg) and that allowed me to cut in the high
resolutions slides rather than rely entirely on the video
of the slides.
