not only is this full sail instructor looking at his phone during the start of the interview, and seemingly generally oblivious, then they start having audio issues. I have friends who tout their full sail degrees. good on 'em. very interesting people. at least that's what they tell me.
The guest was awesome, and is a Full Sail graduate, so, I stand somewhat corrected.
I believe Constantin's notes for the interview were on his phone. He's a terrific pro who would never be looking at his phone during something like this.
Hey Troy, I have a cast i've submitted a treatment to the writers guild and now working on the sizzle, whats next?
+lamont lankford I'd suggest that you check out my blog (free)/book (not free) for answers and/or Joke and Biagio's podcasts on how to sell reality shows (free). It's too complicated to go into here. Best of luck!
One of the greatest ironies in all of entertainment is how competitors think of the perfect reality show meant for someone else. As a perfect example mentioned here how VH1, an otherwise music focused company is instead able to land the rights to Basketball Wives/Baseball Wives which you would have thought might have been an idea that should originate from a sports focus company like ESPN which covers nearly every competitive sport you can think of
Given VH1's success with celebrity reality (The Surreal Life, another show I worked on, made its second-season debut there in 2003 as a frontrunner in that wave , having run on WB the first year), Basketball Wives probably seemed tailor-made for it by 2010.
Celebrity reality in general had worked well for MTV, starting with The Osbournes -- and yeah, I was there for that, too... it was only my second gig in reality television, and where I learned from the best of the best in reality story.
For more than a decade, reality's sort of been ironing out the fabric. Niche networks are trying to expand audiences, and in doing so, have rebranded like crazy. Bravo was a completely different animal in its early days, just like TruTv (formerly CourtTV) and so many others.
I do like that MTV and VH1 still air so much music-related stuff and haven't completely abandoned their roots. Great networks.
