Firstly, fantastic post - well sourced and very insightful. I'm 100% on board with your perspective on media convergence and the questionable longevity of Australian made and owned television. Like you, I tend to err to the American-made programs, basically because, they're better! Bigger budget, more resources and a bigger market with a more receptive audience means that not only can they produce and test-drive productions on their home turf before shipping them globally, they also have the 'American-loved' tag line which seems to be a global television passport. Similar to you, I'm very intrigued and excited about the concept and platforms tied into media convergence. However, it has also recently concerned me that although Australian television content is endeavouring to perpetuate growth through popularity online, how on Earth is that going to transform into big dollars? The evolution of digital television allows us to channel surf sometimes 100 times over, and most likely land on a foreign-made program. With the statistics in Screen Australia's “Convergence 2011: AUSTRALIAN CONTENT STATE OF PLAY” stating that since 2008 the hours of foreign content on free-to-air television has increased by 154 per cent, dominating the growth in Australian content, which stands at 59 per cent, is quite terrifying. I think it's time that we develop and enforce restrictions on foreign content on our digital channels before our entertainment culture turns into a 100% homogenised American-loving society. It's time to make the change. Great work - I hope to read more similar posts! Paris Heya Keiren!

]]> Comment on Dubbing the American Sitcom by Peter Yacono http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~s3285308/blog2/?p=562&cpage=1#comment-65 Peter Yacono Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:59:14 +0000 http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~s3285308/blog2/?p=562#comment-65 Interesting points Kieran. It would be interesting to see how many languages something like the Simpsons would be dubbed into. I always seem to meet people from small, foreign countries who absolutely love American based TV. YES – I don’t think the humour comes across the same way – but without a doubt, it is still enjoyable! I’m pretty sure some TV series even poke fun at this phenomenon; the Simpsons for one, during that “Mr Sparkle” clip you posted, pokes fun at the cross-cultural divide. Plus, I couldn’t help mention this little beauty… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBztjzDr0fM Yak OUT x Interesting points Kieran.

The overwhelming challenge you guys have is to make the fantasy hot and sexy - we've gotta have the fantasy as well, or it's not going to work!

Rose, similarly, is surprised that it was less stressful than the dentist, and has the three key points of surviving Korsakow pinned. Mel is worried about it crashing (well, I might have overstated the case you know), but what I really like is she is very clear about what she needs to do to learn how to get round this piece of software. This means she has a roadmap of what to do. That’s a good thing. She follows this up with the very excellent observation that “Korsakow works are meant to be built in pieces“, yep, spot on there Mel. These are generative works, links are not fixed things like in HTML, it is much swampier (beautifully so) than that. Holly picks up the workflow stuff, and realises this matters because this was one of the simple things she was taught while working out in industry. You need to have a system to file stuff on your computer, you need to know it, and use it. You have to be able to find stuff. And put it away. In-the-right-place. Meanwhile Kathryn is solving problems, getting that you build within the program and need to test and view the work as it progresses, and trying to get her science trained brain out of her imagined black and white world into grey. Finally Damian dives in, raw, and then rather dutifully works through the questions.

Most people are happy in the main-stream (that's why it's called the main-stream). Still this is a good time for you to be defining and refining the kind of work that makes you tick. Great blogging by the way.
