Howdy, folks! This is Kyle Hafkey, one of your Freq-tastic producers here at Columbia's own Frequency TV. I'm checking out how to do this blog thing, so I won't bore you with TOO many details regarding my work and the work of the other awesome staff members here a FTV. HOWEVER! I am excited to say that Episode 1 of
Tat-Stats will be entered into Master Control very soon.
"What is
Tat-Stats," you say?
Tat-Stats is one of Columbia's newest shows, created by yours truly. It's a short form show that profiles Columbia students and their tattoos. You see, like television, tattoos are expressions of narrative through a visual form. Or, in simpler terms, tattoos tell stories through pictures, as does television. Which is why the union of the two is a match made in heaven... also Columbia students, for some reason, spend more money on tattoos than they do on food (how else do they fit into those skinny jeans and punk-petti coats?). Episode 2 is being filmed tomorrow (7/31/08) and expect it to be on the air soon!
In other news, my second pilot is set to air next week.
Geekin' Out is my new show that's all things geeky. It profiles the best in comic books, movies, gadgets, and gaming, and is hosted by Frequency's own starlet, Evan Schmitt. Our first episode was shot at Wizard World Chicago, the second largest comic book convention in America. It is scheduled to be put in Master Control next week! And Episode 2, where we profile the retro gaming store People Play Games, will be following the week after.
In case some of you don't know what Critical Encounters is, it's a program that goes on every year at Columbia which showcases lectures, panels, programs and other events that center on one major social issue. Last year, the theme was Poverty and Privillage. This year, the theme is Human Nature, which profiles humans and their interaction with nature, as well as the nature of humanity in general. It's kind of a broad term. Anywho, our lovely Powers That Be have decreed that we're required to make one piece a month dedicated to the cause of Critical Encounters. I just finished a
Get Tipsy about water conservation, and I'm about to start meetings with the Lincoln Park Zoo to negotiate an episode of
Geekin' Out about wildlife conservation. Should be pretty fun! Nothing spells fun like Evan Schmitt, in a wet suit, in a tank filled with otters.
Anywhoo, kiddies! That's all for now. I gotta go chit-chat with my fearless leader. See ya later!
