Nielsen estimates Americans currently spend an average of 32 hours 47 minutes a week watching traditional TV and 27 minutes a week watching video on-line. At present video streaming has only 1.4% of the TV market, but advanced cell phone technologies may soon change that. The collapse of the movie industry in 1950 with the arrival of TV is but one example of how fast technology can alter the status quo. The television industry is already setting down the foundation for web based broadcasts, making video streaming a 2nd delivery system at many TV stations. Google has entered the game,  investing $100 million on You Tube to develop specific TV- Web programming.

The signs of web networks evolving from television abound, but reaching web audiences requires a far different approach to the structure of show content. The mediums are different. A web viewer often seeks short programs and flash stories to consume quickly. Web videos offer quick access to thousands of flash stories, and often throw the viewer into content overload, (like experiencing too many commercials on TV). The on-demand nature of Internet streaming has its attractions, but the huge number of choices  may account in part for the low 1.4% time use for watching videos. In any case  the medium of the Internet will not only demand better codecs to run the technology, but force traditional TV program formats to change as well.

TV is often watched at home, with waves of images passing over the viewer. Cell phone watching is not passive, but interactive and often takes place at a bus stop, the doctor’s office, or at a restaurant. Unlike TV watching, web videos require the watcher to block out adjacent demands of email, banner ads,or pop ups. They make the experience of watching short, interruptive, and busy. TV commercials interrupt, but we know they come in flowing segments. But on the Internet ads are relentless, unexpected, and making the experience disruptive; while the  program flow of television  allows us to daydream. TV and the web may both broadcast the same video, but the content experience will be different. One is modular, the other isn’t.

To reach You Tube audiences on the web means creating short modular programs that run under five minutes; the web users average watch span.  Flash stories, and flash pictures are a better fit to web audiences constantly bombarded by pop-ups and messages. Television, if it wants to make contact with web audiences, needs  to build modular programs that can be merged together for long form programming. Pawn Stars does this as do many other reality based series, which seem to have audiences watching on both TV and the web. It is this approach to programming that Snippets wants to follow – grouping small modular programs together to form both TV programs and short Internet flash story programs.

Snippets is a 30 minute reality series aimed at the traditional TV audience and the Internet audience.  The construction differes from long format shows  by incorporating modular design in its architecture. Instead of building a show on a single story line, Snippets is built up from mini-stories up to produce an overall long format packaged theme. Modular programing is less expensive than linear TV because we can changes a module to fix a show. For example, in a TV series, if performance is substandard or the story poorly done, the entire show suffers and fails. A modular show like Snippets, in which no one story controls the entire show, allows for replacement of any one of its failed short segments with an unique alternative module.

Program content restructuring no longer means starting from scratch, rather it means replacing a failed performing module with a better module. To make changes doesn’t mean tossing out an entire show due to a failed segment .  On the positive side, modular programming allows for nearly instant market changes and content adjustments and allows for what might have failed ten years ago to be fixed on the fly, making it less expensive to change show content.

The Making of Snippets

Snippets Host/Hostess

Would like someone like Kiki Palmer as Snippets needs a narrator to open and close each show for continuity. That person needs a sense of dry humor sophistication, like interviewing and flash story telling for the open. These short-shots will be funny, sad, sincere, and sometimes moving. We hope this person has the talent to deliver off the cuff remarks and has the depth of intelligence this type of presentation needs. In the 1950s Loretta Young opened and closed her own Anthology Show, as did Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Sterling. They all narrated opening flash stories and we hope to do something similar with Snippets.

Phillip Gulley

We have been speaking with Quaker Minister Philip Gulley who writes and narrates stories that have an Americana flavor. Sort of  Lake Wobegon meets On the Road with Charles Kuralt. His stories are funny, sad, hopeful, and sometimes philosophical, even ethical.  Mr. Gulley would be a show regular appearing every week or every other week.

He has authored 17 books, narrated and written his own TV show for PBS Indiana, and is a great on camera talent. We believe his involvement critical to the success of Snippets. He has sold  1.5 million+ books nationally. We have spoken with him on several occasions regarding Snippets, and he is  interested in joining forces with us. If the show were to happen, we see being able to use him by scheduling six consecutive interviews at a time. We could either fly him to Portland or fly me to Indianapolis to film him green screen format.

This I Believe

We are in contact with the acquisition people at the This I Believe organization in Kentucky and have given us temporary permission to show Remembering All the Boys as a Snippets sample story based on a true event. The organization has experience with NPR Radio, the Edward R. Murrow foundation, and is a 501C3 non-profit devoted to furthering the mission of This I Believe. They have recorded thousands of individuals and the content of their work should be shown on television. I hope  will consider the positive results of our joining forces with their organization. Our hope is to make This I Believe a weekly or bi-weekly Snippets segment using material from the This I Believe archives that we would adapt for video in the  way we did with  their Remembering All the Boys.

Outside In

is a 501C3 non-profit involved in video storytelling for the homeless. Other organizations producing audio- videos for local consumption are the Portland Art Museum, Hollywood Theater, and local colleges . The Art museum produces The Story of Objects, a Snippets like project that has wide appeal. One vision we have for Snippets is making deals with these “indie” producers so we can broadcast the best of their shows within the Snippets environment. This would give Snippets an interactive element that would enhance audience appeal on both the TV and Internet.

Flowers is one example of this that was produced by the Outside In non-profit. It was was directed by a local homeless transgender woman who not only is talented, but delivers a strong  message to battered women and needs to be seen. With Snippets we hope to gather and capitalize on new digital technology in a way that makes life affirming, entertaining, and hopeful. Snippets is a positive presentation of life designed to intrigue us, be thought provoking, and ultimately elicit a feeling of “I’m glad I watched that.” May you join with us on this journey.

In 2010, Christian Theological Seminary awarded Gulley an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.

 

This I Believe – This I Believe, Inc., was founded in 2004 as an independent, not-for-profit organization that engages youth and adults from all walks of life in writing, sharing, and discussing brief essays about the core values that guide their daily lives. This I Believe is based on a 1950s radio program of the same name, hosted by acclaimed journalist Edward R. Murrow. Each day, Americans gathered by their radios to hear compelling essays from the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Robinson, Helen Keller, and Harry Truman, as well as corporate leaders, cab drivers, scientists, and secretaries — anyone able to distill into a few minutes the guiding principles by which they lived. These essayists’ words brought comfort and inspiration to a country worried about the Cold War, McCarthyism, and racial division.In reviving This I Believe, executive producer Dan Gediman said, “The goal is not to persuade Americans to agree on the same beliefs. Rather, the hope is to encourage people to begin the much more difficult task of developing respect for beliefs different from their own.”Selected contemporary This I Believe essays were featured in regular broadcasts on National Public Radio (NPR)in the United States from 2005 to 2009, in a series produced and hosted by Jay Allison. Essays are now featured in weekly broadcasts on satellite and public radio shows hosted by Bob Edwards. In addition, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) aired essays from Canadians in 2007. In 2005 and 2006,USA Weekend invited its readers to participate in our project and published selected essays from their readers. Numerous local public radio stations, newspapers, and magazines have featured essays from citizens in their communities.This I Believe, Inc., in partnership with Henry Holt and Company, has published two books collecting essays featured in the NPR series. The first book, This I Believe, was published in 2006 and became a New York Times bestseller in paperback, while the second volume, This I Believe II, was published in 2008. In addition to collecting these essays for posterity, the books have become popular with “one book, one community” projects. In partnership with publisher John Wiley & Sons, This I Believe is publishing a new series of books, each on a particular theme:This I Believe: On Love (2010), This I Believe: On Fatherhood (2011), This I Believe: Life Lessons (2011), and This I Believe: On Motherhood (2012).Teachers around the country—and around the world—have embraced This I Believe as a powerful educational tool. They have downloaded their free educational curricula, posters, and brochures for using This I Believe in middle and high school classrooms and in college courses. These curricula help teachers guide students through exploring their beliefs and then composing personal essays about them. The students learn about themselves and their peers, and experience the delight of realizing their views and voices have value.You can support the work of This I Believe by making a tax-deductible contribution. We are grateful to all of the Friends of This I Believe who make this work possible.
