REELING IN THE REEL PAGE!

Late last night, my Videographer in Ohio contacted me to say that he was scheduling Monday to digitize my sit-down interview that will ultimately wind up permanently parked on my REEL PAGE at www.michaelmanning.tv. There are 10 segments and I have to review them here in my new home of Arizona and then suggest edits. My Videograher Jamie Sluder will then have to complete the edits before he turns the final cut over to my Webmaster Jason Buckley. The concept for this project came about during a lunch conversation in Florida back in 2006 with my dear friend and musical genius Deni Bonet (Deni appears on singer/songwriter Bud Buckley's new CD "It's About Time" and she will be releasing her own new CD soon, so "stay tuned"). However, as anyone will tell you who has been through the creative process, between my hectic travel with Journalism assignments and Jamie's heavy production schedule, it took us both 16 full months to arrange some studio time together. We didn't have a large round Oak table as Charlie Rose does on his talk show. But we deliberately created a no-frills, totally unscripted interview without any constraints. I do tend to reflect at length if I feel the question is best served by expanding my viewpoint with some historical references for anyone who hasn't met me. What hopefully emerges will be a transparency and an energetic sharing of thoughts that is above all else honest. While the filming took place last November, I have to share with you that in the interim, I can only recall that I enjoyed my visit, and that my general mood was relaxed and open; I remember laughing a lot (frankly, if you were me and had to reflect back on your life you'd be laughing too!) and feeling afterwards as I walked out of the building to my car was that I had a good experience and covered the topics thoroughly. So let's see what we have "in the can" and I'll keep you up to date!

I'll be watching for your post that IT'S DONE! ;o)
Have a great weekend yourself, Michael.
Love and hugs,
Diane
Best of luck with this project. It seems the projects that take the longest are the most rewarding. I hope this proves true for you.
Hello, Diane: Yeah, I'm quite jazzed about it! Thanks for your enthusiasm. Lucky we finished it less than 3 weeks before I left Ohio. :) Oh and...Love and Hugs back atcha! :D))
Jessica: I hope so too. The planning for it took many months in terms of a direction. But when we checked our Total Time, to quote Sam Peckinpah, I just waved my hand and said to Jamie: "Just let it roll". I can't say much more until I what we've got. Hope your weekend is FUN, Jessica! :)!!
Looking forward to your insight.
I love Charlie Rose.
He's right up there with Bill Moyer.
Michael, how do you manage to do so much?
I love the Charlie Rose quote.
In a world of sound bites and rabid pundits it's so gratifying when a true journalist shines through.
Much continued success Michael.
Good luck with your project. Sounds very interesting.
Green Tea: Well, I hope you like it. BTW: I like Bill and also Larry King. The late Tom Schnieder was also terrific.
Karma: I've always been very driven and determined with goals because time is a gift. That's the shortest way I can answer that.
Dianne: Like anything else it's mostly all preparation and focus and very little razzle-dazzle. Charlie's format allows a lot of reflection from Guests. I like Larry King too. Larry really is "The King" after 50 years!
p m: I'm looking forward to getting it finished and moving forward. But yes, I'm excited. Thanks for the good word!:)
Hope you had a wonderful week-end Michael!
Patti: It was nice here! Thanks. How about you?
