Turn electrons into words for Skeptologists!
Hey my BABlogge minions–
Want to be a part of The Skeptologists? We shot a lot of footage last week when we filmed* the pilot, and we are in need of someone (or really many someones) to help us transcribe it. Basically, we need someone who can listen to the raw video footage and transcribe all the dialog verbatim.
We can provide samples and format in timecoded DVDs or VHS tapes. Because of the nature of the show, you’ll need to sign a confidentiality statement, too, so if you leak info on the show we can force feed you wheatgrass juice. Trust me, it’s better to keep quiet.
If you want to help please contact Milena at New Rule Productions: milena "at" newrule "dot" com or call her at 805-938-1106.
Thanks folks!
* Actually, it was all digital, so no film was involved. Someday our language will catch up with technology.
Johnny Byrne, 1935 - 2008
Well, nuts. Johnny Byrne, writer for Space:1999 and the older Doctor Who, died last week of undisclosed causes.
Johnny was a good guy. I met him in 2000 at a Space:1999 convention, and I liked him immensely. We talked at length about a science fiction program he was thinking over involving an ark, a giant spaceship that travels at slower-than-light speeds through space. For well over an hour we sat and discussed various aspects of such a mission, including what the voyagers would see out their windows if they had any. I thought it would have made a really good show.
He wrote several Doctor Who episodes, including some very good ones. Along with Barry Morse from Space:1999, he’ll be missed.
