Who wants to be a TV STAR

[CBR97]

Ok, Ive been working in the Teleivision Industry for a wee while, and have always wanted to put a real Kiwi bike rider programe on tv.

So Im looking for like minded riders who would like to be part of this.

I have had a meeting with a local tV channel that have a sister channel in Wellington, and as i helped build this channel they will help out with airtime and production equipment.
The programe would also be availabe for broadcast in other regional channels.

So anyone with a handycam in any part of NZ who wants to get invovled and have a bit of fun, pm me.

Could you supply a handy cam

the eqiupment I can get hold of would only be used buy camera operators, but im sure we could organise someone with a handycam to help out.

[Kornholio]

[Motoracer]

Will give you a call tomorrow.

If you are all legit, I am willing to give it my best and prepare a professional job. I don't mind the camera. As I said I've been planning on something similar anyway.

I'd be prepared to help out any way I can. Was in the film crew at school and did a short course with South Seas, so have some background (admittedly years ago now).

Sing out if there is anything I can do, anything that raises the profile of bikes in NZ is all good by me.

If you need someone good looking and witty or there are any requirements for a stunt cock then I'm your man.

[Fishy]

I'll be keen for this, will PM you soon.

What are we talking here - Triangle Television?

[CBR97]

Triangle Television yes, they are broadcasting in wellington aswell, I worked there from the begining and left after 4 years, I was on the board of Directors, Ive been wanting to do this for at least 7 years, and feel that now would be the right time to get it off the ground, Triangle offers a lot more freedom , eg we dont lose editorial control, and get the freedom to experiment. i know all the pit falls with regoinal television, There is programe sharing within the regoinal network, or the ability to buy airtime to reach other area,s of NZ.
If the major networks like what they see, you never now were it can lead, also with the TV nz free View Satilite network to be lauched soon, maybe the oppertunity to supply true kiwi content , Its not an easy project, but Im sure if the support from the riding community this will get off the ground,

[Big Dave]

Triangle Television yes,

When SBS first started in Oz my friend Cal did some hosting and I wrote dribble - our standard line was - this is great - if we f*ck up nobody will see it'.
It was great experience and a barrel of laffs.
I have good resources with my gigs. I'm listening.

I'd be keen to help out as long as the whole thing isn't some sort of ghost rider re run featuring sports bikes streaking around cars and dragging improbable bits of their anatomy all over the road. There are a heap of people spluttering about on old bikes, ripping up the dirt, potato potatoing about on Harleys and even ring a ding dinging about on mini choppers... Takes all sorts....

Actually - if you want to make an interesting documentary, the Pukekohe Classic festival of speed would have to be one of THE motorcycle events in the southern hemisphere and very filmable
