A Note To Our Viewers And Industry Partners
By Sarah Curtiss, Sr. Producer, Aero-TV
The Aero-TV video crew is extremely honored to bring you
exciting video coverage from AirVenture once more. Given our
incredible experience last year, we are thrilled to be returning to
the event with the opportunity to showcase our talented team of
video journalists with more in-depth, high-quality video coverage
than ever before.
Sarah Curtis... In A 'Light'
Moment
With the premiere of our new broadcasting format, which will be
unveiled at the start of AirVenture, we hope to become not only the
most dynamic source of video coverage, but also the first source of
video coverage. It is, therefore, our highest aim to provide
thorough, unique perspectives of AirVenture, covering everything
from the breaking news stories of the day to the stories that
exemplify the very spirit of the event, as well as aviation as a
whole. This passionate spirit is, after all, the very essence of
aviation; it is the excitement, the innovation, and the dedication
that is at the core of every aviator and aviation enthusiast.
This is where you come in as our dedicated viewers. We ask for
your continued support by helping us, as a service to all of you,
find and share those hidden stories that often get overshadowed at
such an immense event. We want to hear your story tips, leads, or
ideas. What do you want to see? What important story do you think
has not been shown? Do you know of a story that you think should be
shared with your fellow viewers? Please do not hesitate to send an
email via the link here, or below.
Remember, the Aero-TV crew remains committed to our quest of
sharing the heart of aviation. We are looking for stories that
demonstrate this passion and commitment both for the field of
aviation, as well as its impact on the community at large. No story
is considered "small" in our eyes; if an aviator or an
aviation-related story has touched you, we want to hear about it.
These are the elements that make up this great industry and we want
to share them with the aviation world.
Thank you for your continued support! We look forward to
providing an extraordinary new level of production in the coming
weeks!
What kind of content is welcome for AirVenture story
submissions?
The Aero-TV crew is always enthusiastic about new ideas and
leads that are provided by our viewers. It is our aim to provide
aviation coverage that our viewers find important, relevant, and
meaningful to the industry. Here are just some examples of what we
are looking to discover:
- Someone who has made a significant contribution to his or her
community with aviation.
- Someone who has a unique aircraft or is using their aircraft in
an unique way.
- Innovative new technology or products that will contribute to
the betterment of aviation.
- Someone who has achieved, or working to achieve, a personal or
significant milestone: Setting a record? Finished or finally
finishing an extensive restoration or homebuilt? We want to
celebrate such achievements!
- Someone who will reach a unique milestone with regards to
AirVenture 2009: First flight to Oshkosh as a pilot or with that
new homebuilt? Attending AirVenture for the first time, or the 50th
time? Let us be apart of documenting this important year with you!
If you believe that you have such a story, please do not
hesitate to contact us; we will make sure each story receives
proper consideration and thank you in advance for your time and
effort!
What is Aero-TV looking for when reviewing story?
When reviewing story submissions, our production crew is looking
for three main elements: does the feature idea provide interesting
visual elements, is it newsworthy, or does it share a compelling
story? When we use the term "visually interesting," we are
referring to our ability, as a video production crew, to document
the story in a dynamic way. For example, if you have a lead story
on new aircraft being developed, access would be an extremely
relevant consideration: will we be able to show imagery of the new
aircraft? Will we be able to speak with significant contributors of
the production and development? Such questions help us determine
whether we will be able to provide our viewers with visual
representations of the presented story.
What information should I provide and how do I submit a story
idea or lead to Aero-TV?
