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
our version of reality radio as Media Man Australia
makes this broadcast available for worldwide consumption
in our own original style, in full blown digital
transmission!

Editors
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.
