I'm going to be on T.V

[mickal555]

Chenell 9 afternoon program(4:30- I think), hotsource wants me to go to do a segment on astronomy- I am verrrrrrrry scared.

They want me to bring my 'scope and some facts and say how I got interested and advise for any young people wanting to get involved.
I don't know what to say!

I go to the studio tommorow.
It's funny cause they asked me to bring my 'scope, I don't think they relise how big it is: I think they are thinking of those department "scopes".




I get to be on T.V though: :scared2:

[acropolite]

Scary stuff....:scared:

[ballaratdragons]

That's cool!!!! :thumbsup:

Make sure you get a copy of it.

I've only got a copy of my farewell in three shows on Telly when I left channel 9. Nothing from all the other shows I was in. Saw myself briefly on the Bert Newton special last week though.

Scary, Yep. Even doing it regularly is still scary. Just ask the pros!

You will have to lets us know when it goes to air. Don't forget to plug IIS.. ;)

[iceman]

Was going to say the same thing!

Remember to tell them to visit www.iceinspace.com.au for all their australian amateur astronomy needs :) including advice on scope purchase etc ;)

Good luck!

[asimov]

Better you than me mate;) good luck!:wink2:

[ballaratdragons]

Mick,

If it helps you feel any better, I used to be on Telly a lot, and had to sit in for Brian Naylor daily for camera and lighting tests, and occasionally be a character for 'the Sullivans' and yet when I had to do a short Interview about our Footy Club a month ago on our little regional TV station I shook like a leaf.

Don't know if that helps but good luck.

Remember, the interviewer is always nervous too!

Make sure that you have lots of IIS stickers handy. Good luck & just be yourself. :thumbsup: :D L.
ps. Remember, NO SWEARING! :gday:

[Striker]

Congrats...go for it.

Keep us all informed.

The only way I would make it on TV is on Australia's most wanted.....lol

[ballaratdragons]

David (Ving) is in a Movie!

[Astroman]

Well done!!,

I have been on TV once and radio twice and the nerves hit big time. Just keep breathing :)

[ballaratdragons]

I am still on the Radio every Wednesday morning at 6:15am on ABC.

Too tired to think at that time of the morning so I muck up a lot of things I am trying to say LOL!

[ving]

I am? :eek:

:P
it was a non-speaking part tho :)
just an extra...

[gaa_ian]

Good on you ... I do an irregular radio spot on the local community station.
Just stay cool, be yourself, and speak with passion & conviction.
Well thats what I do anyhow, and it seems to work :confused: :scared2: ;)

[ving]

oh and my only hint is... dont pisture ppl nude, you'll only start laughing :P

[ballaratdragons]

"I was just an extra"

That's what made it 'extra' special! :thumbsup:

It was about this Librarian into Astronomy :rofl:

[ving]

gallileo?
wasnt he a librarian?

[ving]

actually he wasnt... but he had his own librarian, Patrick duffy ;)

[ballaratdragons]

co-starring 'Astrobelle'.

[ving]

yup, david haslhoff as astrobelle! :P

[mickal555]

Argh it was a disaster!

The presenters butchered the planet segment something terrible!

Saying IO was jupiter and that venus had a surface of sulfuric acid, and uranus was the largest planet...

I had no preporation for the segment and I had a cold plus a sore throught so I sounded off...

I went on abit too long with the questions and held my arms weirdly- argh!!!

I missed all your advise too- I didn't get a chance to check, I wish I did cause it is read good!

As a side note: It's my Birthday I'm 15

I had no chance for plugs either...

[cahullian]

happy birthday mate 15 eh? wow that is old

[ving]

no plug?
your fired! :P

[elusiver]

15! mate... it's all down hill from there :P ;) :D

happy b'day mate?
