Dressed in black, covered in tattoos, and riding a Harley Davidson, Bruce is The Snakebuster. When Bruce gets the call this rough tough Aussie bloke hits the road and races to the scene. It’s his job to remove highly venomous snakes from domestic situations. But for the Snakebuster, it’s often a question of saving the snake from the people rather than the people from the snake. While he may look tough Bruce has a soft spot for snakes – the deadlier the better! This is adventure television with serious bite!

As his sons dressed up in cowboy suits and his daughters pirouetted through ballet lessons, he held meetings with the most powerful political players in the world. But when Saigon fell in 1975, Tran Van Lam left his country with nothing – not even his citizenship. Told by his nine children from their now disparate locations around the globe, the Trans’ story is a unique window to an extraordinary era and an insight into an eastern diaspora, flung to all points of the compass.

  • Refining Your Timpani Roll by Tom Freer
    Refining Your Timpani Roll by Tom Freer Following are some techniques and calisthenics for refining one's timpani roll. This is one of a timpanist's most frequently used techniques, yet it seems to get minimal attention in practice and development. To get started you should have the following: 1. Metronome (best quality you can afford) 2. Tape recorder, mini disc recorder, or video camera 3. Mirror 4. Towels to mute timpani 5. Method Books: Eckehardt, Keune - Pauken (Ein Schulwerk) Fred Hinger - Technique for the Virtuoso Timpanist Saul Goodman - Modern Method for Timpani Friese/Lepak - Timpani Method Heinrich Knauer - all books Richard Hochrainer - all books Assuming the player has a good knowledge of roll technique, I will not elaborate on such things as forte piano rolls, measured rolls, and the like. However, I will touch on roll attack, speed, and release. To get started, using two timpani, place a mirror on your music stand right in front of you for clear viewing, place a towel on each drum opposite your playing area, place your metronome on your music stand, and get your tape player ready to record. It may sound strange at first, but using the towels on the heads creates a timpani "practice pad" which not only saves your ears a bit but is immensely helpful in exposing any flaws you may not notice because of the very forgiving resonance of the ringing timpani head. Now that you are set up and ready with your two timpani practice pads. Keep in mind that you are trying to improve the evenness of your hands and smoothness of your roll.

  • The Key Lessons Learnt from Producing the ABC Programme Talking
    The key lessons learnt from producing the ABC programme Talkin g Heads a talk show/documentary hybrid in a fast turnaround environment Jack King HND: Business Studies (Aston Birmingham) This exegesis is submitted as the written component for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Film and Television Production: Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2009 Supervisors: Associate Professor Geoff Portmann and Associate Professor Alan McKee Abstract The following exegesis will detail the key advantages and disadvantages of combining a traditional talk show genre with a linear documentary format using a small production team and a limited budget in a fast turnaround weekly environment. It will deal with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation series Talking Heads, broadcast weekly in the early evening schedule for the network at 18.30 with the presenter Peter Thompson. As Executive Producer for the programme at its inception I was responsible for setting it up for the ABC in Brisbane, a role that included selecting most of the team to work on the series and commissioning the music, titles and all other aspects required to bring the show to the screen. What emerged when producing this generic hybrid will be examined at length, including: The talk show/documentary hybrid format needs longer than 26’30” to be entirely successful. The type of presenter ideally suited to the talk show/documentary format requires someone who is genuinely interested in their guests and flexible enough to maintain the format against tangential odds. The use of illustrative footage shot in a documentary style narrative improves the talk show format.

  • The Plight of ABC Produced Programs and Staff and Can Be Found at Plight-Of-Abc-Produced-Programs-And-Staff
    Re: Recent ABC programming decisions From: Ken McKay Tuesday August 30th, 2011 Please find here the contents of a web page I have uploaded to the watvhistory.com web site. It is titled The plight of ABC produced programs and staff and can be found at http://watvhistory.com/2011/08/the- plight-of-abc-produced-programs-and-staff/ Because the site deals with WA television history matters, the emphasis given to the story is that of change, and the impact it has. Most of the content relates directly to the issues the Senate Hearing will be considering... The plight of ABC produced programs and staff POSTED BY KEN ON AUGUST - 29 - 2011 This is an examination of current issues facing the ABC. Fulfilling the ABC charter, program cuts, outsourcing, centralisation, technological change and job losses. As to be expected, there are a number of points of view, which this article will endeavour to report accurately in a fair and balanced manner. They are very contentious issues, which have been evolving over many years as broadcasting facilities, techniques and management styles change, from the previous bureaucratic, slow moving public service structure to one more aware of modern business philosophies, and capable of great innovation. The earlier days were more labour intensive when Perth was an isolated outpost, separated from the rest of the country by not only distance and poor roads, but also primitive communications. The history of change gave witness to a variety of predicaments as our ancestors approached the industrial age. Change manifests itself in different forms over time, and even though the circumstances vary, there is still an impact as people try to cope with a new age.

  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

    © ATOM A STUDY GUIDE BY KATY MARRINER http://www.metromagazine.com.au ISBN-13-978-1-74295-072-3 http://www.theeducationshop.com.au PLEASE NOTE: TEACHERS ARE ADVISED TO PREVIEW THE FILM BEFORE SHOWING IT TO STUDENTS. STUDENTS SHOULD ALSO BE BRIEFED ABOUT THE CONTENT AND PURPOSE OF WALL BOY PRIOR TO VIEWING. WALL BOY WALL BOY is a sensitive account of the issues facing vulnerable young people in contemporary Australian society. The film is both unsettling and brave in its dramatisation of the fractured world of a vulnerable adolescent. Some students may find the references to sex and drugs too confronting and the dimensions of the narrative too upsetting. This study guide accompanies the short fiction film WALL BOY by Shark Island Productions, makers of THE OASIS documentary. It has been written for senior secondary students and practitioners, and provides information and suggestions for learning activities in English, Drama, Health and Human Development, Media, Religion and Society, VCE VET Community Services and curriculum projects exploring social justice issues in contemporary Australian society. WALL BOY could also be shown to teachers as part of professional development sessions addressing student welfare and pastoral care. Some of the questions and activities in this study guide will be of use to organisations, community groups and counselling services that support vulnerable young people. WALL BOY is the story of a vulnerable sixteen- year-old boy forced to work as a male sex worker at a notorious spot in inner city Sydney called The Wall. A youth worker from the Salvation Army’s outreach bus tries to reach out to him, but the © ATOM SCREEN EDUCATION boy won’t speak or even make eye contact.

  • “The Peking to Paris Rally”
    1 “The Peking to Paris Rally” Sam Peters has been a member of the Vines community since 1989. He is a man who enjoys a challenge. Here are a few examples. Flew to Germany to experience the Berlin Wall coming down. Went to Russia and trained for a week to fly a Russian MIG . Signed on as crew to sail the Mediterranean. Climbed Kilimanjaro and made it to the summit. Drove a dirt bike for a month through the outback of Mexico. Skied just about every black run in the U.S., Canada and Argentina. Won his age group in the handball national championship. Thirteen matches in two days. So this year it was time for something really big. “The Peking to Paris Rally”. Ninety-six cars entered, mostly with professional competitors. Fly from Cincinnati to Beijing (6,830 air miles) then drive 7,610 miles through Asia/Europe in 33 days with friend and mechanic, Enos Reed, in a 1940 Studebaker called (Stu).We are told that we can track car 41 (Stu) on “Yellow Brick” a transponder installed to track the car on the internet. Preparations are underway, registering, collecting ID’s and Chinese driver’s licenses, uploading way points in Marine GPS and going to briefings. The field will compete in two basic divisions, the Vintageant category, (pre 1941 model cars) with 42 entrants including “Stu” and the Classic category (pre 1975 models) with 54 entrants. The race, set to start on May 28th is on schedule. No sooner underway then the first glitch is encountered. The Chinese government has confiscated all of the GPS equipment suggesting that it might be used for spying.
