Interview:
Brett Clements, Creator & Executive Producer,
H'it'! TV:
19th September 2003
In
keeping with Media Man Australia's tradition of tackling
any subject, we explore the world of Reality TV.
In
this revealing and insightful interview, Brett discusses
what's right and wrong with Reality TV, and why H'it'!
TV will give the youth what they want, rather than
the same old recycled garbage. Not only that, but
just about everything about H'it! TV is digital. They
actually have a paperless office, mind you, I haven't
been to their Surry Hills studio yet to see it with
my own eyes, but that may be a matter of time folks.
This
interview has further reinforced the fact that Media
Man Australia needs to start broadcasting video, sooner
rather than later.
Brett
Clements even say's Greg Tingle is not to "out
there" for H'It! TV, which is a refreshing change
from other so called "creative types". Brett
well and truly thinks outside the square.
Enjoy

note: A hard edge, intelligent, yet entertaining,
Real interview, available in full blown digital transmission!
I'm afraid Media Man Australia can still teach Andrew
Denton and Rove a few tricks. Greg Tingle say's, "don't
bet against me", and other creative types, that
some media outlets don't know how to handle. You heard
it here first.
Update
Brett
Clements has released a new board game, "Shocked".

About
H'it'! (courtesy of Hit TV website)
H'it'!
is a reality television series designed to unearth
the next wave of media and entertainment makers by
trashing the old showbiz adage "its not what
you know, its who you know."
Not
anymore. All you need is your 'imagination'.
The
objective of the 16 x 1-hour series is to find 12
creative types, aged 18-30, and bring them all together
for a 6-week crash course in show-business which culminates
in them producing three new TV shows to sell to the
world.
Ideally
every State and Territory will be represented in the
top 12.
While
no prior experience in making TV is necessary, all
applicants must adhere to the terms & conditions
of entry which are deliberately designed to discourage
those who aren't committed to careers in show-business.
See Apply. The competition is scheduled to close on
October 31, 2003.
The
best entries received will be edited to preview tapes
and circulated to judges throughout Australia and
the world for 'comment'. See Judges. This ensures
the widest possible exposure for local talent. The
best entries will also be invited to attend 'open'
interviews in capital cities in December.
From
these interviews, 12 applicants will be selected for
the series. Each will given a digital video camera
and will return home to shoot their 'life story',
interviewing family and friends etc, before returning
to Sydney or Melbourne and moving in to share a production
'house' for six weeks.
During
the series, the 12 'Interns' will be allowed to come
and go and live like they would in the real world.
Expenses will be covered. They will not be locked
in and will not be evicted.
Guest
celebrities and industry professionals will also drop
in and give their insights into how to succeed in
show-business.
