About Ruder-Finn
The 1994-95 Jason Project VI: Island Earth broadcasts will be produced by the
Visual Technology Group of Ruder Finn. The Visual Technology Group,
which specializes in scientific and educational programming, is the
television production division of Ruder Finn, the nation's largest
independently owned public relations firm. The Visual Technology Group
(VTG), in addtion to producing last year's JASON Project broadcasts
from the jungles of Belize
(JASON V: Planet Earth),
has produced news features for the American Institute of Physics on
topics ranging from knuckleballs and nanotechnology to Antarctic
expeditions and Colombian volcanoes. In 1991, VTG produced live
coverage of the solar eclipse from the Southern tip of the Baja
Peninsula.
About the Production Journal
This page is intended to be a diary of the production of Jason VI:
Island Earth. Your correspondent of the moment is Tom Newman. I am the
Producer/Writer of the Program, which some might consider an oxymoron
for a show that is live and spontaneous, and which seeks to use
interactive technology not to create a "story" but rather to involve in
a direct manner the audience, which is seen not just as the recipient
of a program but as an active participant. Nevertheless, there is a lot
of behind the scenes work that leads up to the program. I'll try to
tell you about some of it.
