Quit Playing On TV ... Without Leaving Home

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer

The programs of the competition on television not go out of fashion because they allow for the unknown and anonymous society take part and leave on the same screen where they are celebrities, plus the chance to win prizes. It is playing stop being viewers to become the protagonist of the small screen.

This special attraction of appearing on television is what it took the Wii games console with the release of its TV Show King, the new game that allows a program to participate in competitions, with music, applause, driver, camera movements and up prizes.

The viewer leaves der be viewer to become a player in Wii with his family or friends to go out and play on television, compete and win or lose, in an atmosphere of spectacle, amid the lights and a television forum.



When Nintendo introduced its Wii system we all knew that he had taken a leap without limits, to allow participation physical, mental and not just from the players.

The Olympics in China and other attractions Wii games out of the sedentary routine to competitors, and those who are most appreciate in the future we will be the parents of children who had not moved more than eyes and fingers in the traditional concepts of this kind of entertainment.

TV Show King with the developers of the content (the company Gameloft) gave a blow of 360 degrees: for playing Wii uses a TV. The TV lets you view television. Television is a medium of entertainment in the home and some even dream of leaving on television. The new Wii game unifies everything and permits, while playing, go out and participate in a program of competitive television using the TV from home without leaving the house.

The dramatic game-contest-TV-nintendo is pleasing to the driver Jerry, who leads the professional program where up to four participants are faced with questions and answers, earn and lose money and are able to rotate a roulette-style of the famous space wheel of fortune.

Jerry is not alone. Accompanying Angela, a beautiful model similar to that normally in nearly all programs of competitions we know.

Each question has four answer choices and the amount of money it receives varies according to the difficulty of the question, and while it is answered.

The themes of the three thousand questions ranging from literature stored until the sport through science, history and geography, among others.

TV Show King has the virtue of introducing the viewer into the world of competitive programs on television, do participate, allowing him have fun and learn general subjects such as overall contribution to knowledge, something fashionable in many of the Wii games.

I have no doubt that some television producers learn more about the rhythm and joy of a good program of competitions, while we play on TV Show King and arrieguemos us to be involved in a production where we are usually behind the cameras.

Hispanic television companies have in this game something useful: a door to create games that can distribute with Nintendo, based on original formats and attractions that are already successful among the public and that could mean a good opportunity for new business, the rather they are another way to get closer to viewers.

What we do reaffirms Nintendo with its Wii console via TV Show King is that television will remain an inseparable part of the entertainment you need and deserve all seek when you turn on your TV.

Obama and Chavez: Presidents On Television

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer of Television

If it is true that television decides, then we can say that television and elected the next U.S. president: Barack Obama.

The two candidates have made frequent use of television in the same year that the discussion is about the displacement of viewers to the Internet and when it is put into question the permanence of the programs facing the new options that technology presents.

These two men, with their television, confirmed only the impact that television leads to reach millions of people at once, in the same instant, picture and sound.

But between McCain and Obama, the second has been more persistent with television. In his closing campaign bought half hour in primetime to expose the message at the national level, the channels NBC, CBS and Fox and made clear the importance it attaches to recruit Hispanics at a similar time on Univision.

Obama's team paid a million dollars to each company by the space of thirty minutes and just under a few other cable television companies, to add a total of close to $ 250 million from June until today in his campaign. This candidate, who has promised to remove the U.S. from the economic crisis, exceeded the spending of advertising from companies like Wal-Mart or McDonald's in the same period.

Before last night, which some called the Obama TV, local and national channels throughout the United States have been inundated with messages. It is considered that has spent four times more money on television that his rival John McCain.

In a single day Obama came to spend 6 million and a half to $ 1 million against his opponent. Their spots appear on the broadcasts of football and in terms of big sporting event is scheduled hearing.

Experts in advertising and media in the United States claim that this is a form of a presidential campaign on television unprecedented.

The Democratic candidate's television strategy to buried almost any message from the Republican candidate in the last seven days. The money spent by McCain in other media can be considered lost, compared to the impact and the force that gets television.

Against this background we are looking into the handling of language and the use of the media, setting up another similarity between Barack Obama and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: both prefer television to convey their messages, in addition to being politicians, to share the same race and of belonging to the astrological sign of Leo.

Hugo Chavez has said he wants to be president beyond the year 2020 and spend hours on television between speeches and reflections on a national network.

Barack Obama wants to be president of the United States as of 2009. This Wednesday succeeded in putting the largest chain of television companies in his country and spoke for thirty minutes. Otherwise we'll know it when you have in your hands the keys to the White House.

If Obama and Chavez made use of television to come to power, and both reaffirmed their power through television, it is primarily a television monitor their actions and disclose them so that they are not only presidents on television.

Amero: The Screenplay of a currency that threatens the Dollar and Mexican Peso

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer

If not for the leap from the Internet to television and video into multimedia traveling by emails, personal blog articles from newspapers and recognized, Hal Turner was still exploring how to achieve fame without being an actor or athlete, neither political nor hero.

Within a few days, the Mexican peso and Canadian dollars and Americans will disappear. A secret conspiracy between the three governments of these countries is underway. Many will have lost everything when the change occurs by the amero, our new single currency.


Amero, creating the coin designer Daniel Carr

The statement above is a summary of the revelations of Hal Turner, a man who is presented as a journalist for Internet radio, and he has been interviewed on programs of channels such as Fox News and NBC, quoted by print and electronic media, but he received the credibility of television and the impact that this media awards.

Turner has discovered the conspiracy of Mexico, the United States and Canada for their local currencies collapse, causing the collapse of hundreds of goods and competition to the market launch of the euro in America: the amero.

This man, in a video that he had circulated on the Internet and was placed in his personal blog, spoke with passion concerned before the event that lies ahead. We anticipate the difficult days that are coming up and showing a coin twenty amero, which, according reveals, was minted in the United States and almost exclusively as he got proof.



The Internet and creativity have no limits since their encounter in the network. We are surprised with the nicest most crazy ideas, news and cruel, but it really reveals Hal Turner are labyrinths that you can get to go to achieve fame, the lights and the global recognition that new technologies now allow.

Only then can understand that the video in its own currency twenty amero did not reach a completely distinct, and that the researcher did not explain how he arrived at some point to have so much data, without revealing its sources, but at least offering deeper details of his discovery.

Never heard the radio program that he said were transmitted to July this year 2008, and that left the air pressure in the U.S. government because he claims not want the public to know this truth ... until now a truly unique Hal Turner.

Today it is almost impossible to avoid the silence and promote the words of someone while you are alive. The best evidence of the very contradiction of Turner is your video going around on the Internet accusing those who do not allow you to denounce what they can not prove his or moving image.

If in other times and rescuers were preachers who appeared at public events, theater and television explaining how they were chosen by the Lord to heal and unite thousands in search of faith, today is Hal Turner, but more modern, down squarely in the subject's economy and the overall interests to the global crisis.

This virtual journalist is the prophet chosen as the father creator of the first coin fiction, which was surely not the original book The Case of amero, published in 1999 by a student of the Fraser Institute of Canada, precisely where he discusses the drawbacks to being a currency that unify the economies of the three countries forming the bloc of North America, then reproduced in the form of a medallion in 2001 by Daniel Carr, designer of coins currently sells its own online site.

Turner's popularity is growing these days with the typical speed of the era we live. Many are attracted by its recommendations to change all our savings and assets for silver and gold, and avoid being flouted when it reaches the destructive power the amero.

Its foundations are based on actual proposals in the past three governments have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of creating a single currency. It is known that at present continues to analyze, but it will take much longer to define.

Amid the financial crisis, the issue becomes a bomb in the voice of anyone who wants to speculate and make themselves known if states as a fait accompli in silence behind the backs of millions of citizens.

The man, simple in appearance, looking tired and anxious, enjoys the solitude of his computer hundreds of contacts in the world who want to know more and ask him or her to write only to thank him for his words of salvation.

Hal Turner now occupies the site vacated Monica Lewinsky when they jumped from anonymity to celebrity pages. We will have to wait for their upcoming episodes, because when the fame diminishes, the argument must be enriched.

Perhaps this is not known expert in mass communication that some television companies in their stories could get good contracts as a writer of fiction, if he manages to cope with two families who struggle to get the currency lost a amero while the children of both sides defend their love and ignore the economic interest.

Nothing strange that we would soon Turner as a guest on a television program, where we propose that you buy a hal-amero, the old currency to using his own name he has created to protect amero, the first coin to there was devalued before.

How To submit a project for TV?

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer of Television

Among the dozens of emails that I receive weekly, a constant consultation is how a project for TV.

The apparent simplest things of this work are often many times unknown, not only scarce information on how to prepare a proposal for a television project, but in almost all the websites of the largest television companies did not find at least one space to post ideas, and less an explanation of the steps for the delivery of an argument or a synopsis.

There is a "form" within the general guidelines that can serve to occur interested in his ideas and producers to accept proposals. Every creative person has his own sense of what to write and each farmer would surely like to read in different ways a project.

Producers of television and consultants often receive many more projects of what we imagine. Most of the proposals lacked originality or at least of innovative ideas, bold, different. But more than that: they are poorly written, poorly structured.

The routine of everyday work makes the professional television, reading draft after draft, start to check with the prejudice that this is a repeat of anything previously read-which is also a mistake because this indisposition can blind front to the good.

After talking with some colleagues and television producers with knowledge of the "conditions" under which analyzed the proposals, seven points breakdown that could be implemented.

To take into account to submit a draft

1 - A CERTERO TITLE: The title leaves established from the outset what this is about the project. Lets understand if I read something else or close to their interests production.

2 - BE BRIEF: is the advice for all that is required to submit written or read in any work. The short time that all have today to meet others, brevity makes it determines who read about the ideas of others. Three pages is sufficient for an initial presentation.

3 - LARGE TYPE: Use a font of 12 points will be easier and quicker reading of the draft. The text is often harass and confused boy at first sight because it is assumed that there are more words. Conversely, a larger text is not very polite in sight, is confusing because it conveys despair.

4 - SHORT PARAGRAPH: Do not write paragraphs of more than five lines each. This allows very rapid advance in reading, without tiring.

5 - SEVERAL IDEAS FOR PARAGRAPH: include at least two important ideas or information in each paragraph. This prevents the write paragraphs that say nothing and end the infill and bored concerned that the draft reads.

6 - ORIGINAL IDEAS TO HOME: ideas that are considered most original of the project should be just beginning to catch the attention. We have to convince from the first words to read on the project. Some readings are usually left up to half ... and maybe at the end was the best of the proposal.

7 - CLEAR OBJECTIVE: it is very important that the project involves what are its fundamental objectives. A few points that indicate the overall purpose of the proposal is very useful for those who decide.

None of these seven points guarantee success in the presentation of a draft, but resolves any obstacles in development and is closer to that is not thrown away in a drawer and forgotten among old papers.

Two final suggestions: any idea should be registered under the laws and procedures of copyright in each country, before submitting it, stating in the last sheet registration data, and a week after he has given the project should get in touch who welcomed him to find out if you have any response or information from the process.

If these few pages and those few paragraphs, the idea draws attention, someone will contact the author for more details.

One might think that there is little room for surprise, but it is not. Whoever is unable to express in writing with passion and what it implies is a good idea, hardly will be presenting a good project for television.

Television is entertainment, and a synopsis that attracts is not the first sign of future production boring.

Without Creativity Creative Process

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer of Television

Sudden changes in programming and the breaking of habits of viewers, with advertisers emergencies on certain concepts and contents, has made the television industry jeopardizes the creative process, fundamental method to remove the air a good idea either produced.

Writers, producers and theaters face sometimes the decisions of executives with surprise, and the answer becomes improvisers, leaving a space increasing to projects that emerged without analysis or market research, or teamwork.

Many TV companies seem more determined to build new programs, which seek to ensure their permanence premieres of years, brand positioning, affiliation with certain sentimental title, character or driver.

But the conflicts facing today's creative process are becoming more and more frequently.

Few TV stations attach importance to the work areas, the lighting of offices and good visual environment, through ignorance and lack of a renewed view at times, or by shortages of other material resources.

Those who write and produce do not require large spaces or windows that look out to sea or landscapes of forests and mountains (though images are ideal related to the harmony). What I need is privacy for teamwork and a creative environment, to create areas where they are separated from the others dedicated to the administration or receive calls.

The creative process that begins with an idea, necessarily requires a continuity, which usually follows with write, produce, sometimes investigate and finally discuss it before presenting it for approval and production.

While it is true that good ideas can arise suddenly, it has also been shown that an idea has to go through the incubation for further developed so that the process is completed with the association and evaluation of all ideas, research, processing own ideas and finally the implementation of the ideas discussed and selected as valid for the project.

In modern industry of television I have seen little respect for the creative process, and such little respect in general do not have a basis for disparaging. It is based on an ignorance of the origins and paths of development of creativity, for lack of adequate preparation of those who sometimes make the decisions.

The lack of space and time for the creative process ends in the production of repetitive, or original ideas little unfinished, finally giving a bad result in the air and boring to viewers compared to products that do not tell him anything new, you do not surprise and makes you lose hope in a certain genre or television channel.

It is urgent for most companies know that Spanish-speaking television, an in-depth analysis and meditated on the importance of the creative process, to see what they should make to achieve the necessary conditions to ensure the development of better ideas.

Millions of dollars and euros travel the world in economic transactions to buy technology and equipment to produce better and see the image of television each year, and this new momentum for what should be applauded and preserve it.

The odd thing is how the investment plans, are not usually regarded with the same force, the necessary resources and renewed so that the work areas comply with the requirements that require the development of the creative process.

All companies in the world today have access to better technology and prices between editing systems, cameras and equipment forums are so variable, allowing almost all produce with quality.

As is known and understood that a television program must be written, recorded, edited and post-produced (as a rule) are unaware that the creative process also brings a series of steps that are ignored when they show an incomplete and even mediocre .

The only difference between television will remain the talent recruited from the cast, even the writers and producers. Invest in them so that they have better working conditions is a wise way to invest in better ideas that do not yet exist, and that perhaps is to come, just waiting for the opportunity to cultivate.

Television: Inform, Form and deforms

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer of Television

The last comment "The hypocrisy of demanding a television," I brought a flood of e-mail messages and letters, demonstrating not only the perennial interest in television, but it's controversial topic.

While someone named Katy tells me that "television is entertaining, but comes to see her expensive" (referring to the strain that can cause), Adriana, graphic designer, calls "personal and professional ethics" to those who produce programs, and Rosa, announcer, says that it can bring, "as well as information and entertainment, a bit of culture and education."

While the television commercial, created to entertain, has no obligation to educate or to be a center of learning, it has a duty not to warp, and it is here where the use of ethics in creativity, not to mention that Parents should be implemented as translators for their children in front of the television reality show where it on the news or through social characters that usually appear in soap operas and series (the murderer, the envious, the traitor).

Questioning the hypocrisy of demanding to television because I intend to insist on those teachers and family members to the restless child, they take as a remedy, with ignorance, turn on the television to evade its responsibility to "entertain", and then collide with a regular programming that criticize the discovery of the damage that could result in the formation of the individual.

Mauritius Alatorre, Director of Production of a television company, clarifies that lacked say that I am referring to the broadcast television (which is free and we view with a simple antenna), and rightly so, because the pay-TV (cable or satellite) has a marvelous diversity where we can learn from and how was the formation of the earth, to the efforts of caring for his flock lions, usually done with a great sense of entertainment, learning by impersonating a way of narrating stories compatible with television. Channels are known as "niche" that go directly to the public interested in certain topics.

A television commercial (open signal) can ask whatever is happening to us, but you can not meet everything we want. Stroke among its objectives to teach not to lie or to commit crimes, it is a valid aspiration and every day I see more social commitment in almost all the programming world, in its writers and producers.

The same television criticized in recent weeks has been instrumental in mobilizing countries and continents to recent natural disasters in the Caribbean and other land, and he succeeds precisely because its power of conviction, on hearing of its success, because people who watch their programming understand we must move towards solidarity. These are the moments in which commercial television can "train" exhibit positive attitudes and consciousness.

Today we applaud that, thanks to television (and other) many leaders and bureaucrats to be more careful in their actions, because the transparency of crystal television screens typically reach their offices, their pockets and bank accounts, when in the informational space discovers and reports of corruption and denouncing the power of the image. That's one way to inform forming against deformation.

Someone anonymously wrote to me saying that "the media are a direct influence on how people perceive things, change ways of thinking, creating fashions ..., but this also happens with the classes of teachers in schools The talks between friends and family, and with millions of photographs and articles on the Internet are just a click to occur if you do not watch and care for the "contents" to a simple reunion weekend.

Television, to have an identity and an own sound, with moving images that live in the home, produces a "credible" special assimilated by the viewer. That's communicative power, we must assume our responsibility in the upbringing of children, thus avoiding any recurrence, as adults, manageable beings and imprecise, as could happen with any other experience in their lives that deformed his character, and not only because of television.

Parents must take responsibility perennial selection: what programs in which channels to see what times and how much should be allowed daily, according to the ages and habits of every school child care is just like opening a porn magazine in home or bring children to a bar for adults.

The television never be in the strict sense of the education of women and men. It's always more to limit warp if their content is not discussed in families or is not limited to those who still, because of their age, are unable to analyze and choose with maturity.

As I said Maru, in another e-mail I received, a Mexican who lives in Italy, "the challenge of television is rediscovered, win back the hearts of viewers and through this, trace", to which only add: a footprint that always allows us to continue to enjoy television, without ever losing its sense of entertainment, even at the risk of distortion, as with the tasty foods you eat ... even though we know that we fatten.

The Hypocrisy of requiring Television

By Alexis Nunez Oliva
Executive Producer of Television

At public events, conferences, in print media and even in speeches by politicians, has become fashionable to require television programming that educates and caring values.

It would be absurd to think that someone advocates a television destructive or inciting violence, and we know that precisely because of its communicative power is a duty to care what he says and shows.

But commercial television is not a school or a teacher. The television was made as a means of entertainment, and through it you can find (or misinform) on almost any subject.

In many countries, along with TV entertainment, there is the so-called cultural television, or education, usually in the hands of governments and institutions that do not seek profit from their programming, and have the privilege of making instructional programs, sometimes with a creative achievement and high visual value.

Unfortunately when we review in those countries points rating, we see that the public does not see these channels, which practically does not follow these programs and choose before commercial television, from soap to spaces of competitions and comedy.

Some will say that if complete commercial television, the public then it voltearía to see the cultural channels, but it would be like deciding to close the amusement parks with attractive games for people to return to play chess at home.

What happens in today's societies is that there are needs for products, demand satisfaction and consumption of all kinds of products derived from the diversity of thought and tastes.

It is not fair to require television culture that is entertaining as it is wrong to require commercial television that is educational and defender of morals.

The countries and people living their realities, wrapped in joy and tears, in love and crime, in creating works wonderful and they get in the destruction of natural phenomena. And the television coverage of over-the-content business has an obligation to provide a window on those realities.

To do otherwise, conceal or temper reality through television, has the same risk that the censorship imposed by totalitarian dictatorships when dominate the media.

The limits do have to draw the television commercial is not lying, not to suggest statements of opinion, not to compel belief in what is not true and respond to the public with careful programming on its channels that takes into account the hours and family schedules of adults.

The computer games, the famous Nintendo, football and boxing do not have any responsibility in the education of the inhabitants of this planet because they were created as a form of entertainment for spectators and players. Television is exactly the same.

Teachers and schools have a duty to teach their students how to watch TV, and differentiate between reality and fantasy, entertainment and information, and the obligation of parents to choose channels in their homes, schedules and "dose" of television for that their children grow up with a proper education and experience without unnecessary.

When parents, politicians and even "experts" to require commercial television to educate and preserve values, in reality they are acting with the same hypocrisy of which requires loyalty to their partner is unfaithful while in office hours.
