Ok.

Thanks for the feedback.

What'd you think of the video?

Video was quite good, but IMO there are a couple of things which you could do to put your own stamp on future videos.

• You definitely need a hand-held mic of some sort, the long directional type ones would work best, as they help omit background noise. And most video cams these days have "line in" plugs for that.

• If you're using a hand-held mic, make a "Sexy Squad" plaque to go on it like the ones you see on the news which advertise different radio networks. Who knows you might even get it seen on the news, Sports Tonight, Fox Footy etc if you get yourself into one of the training, or post-match Press Conferences.

• If you can, try to conduct the interviews in a place which isn't a brick-lined breezeway or similar, to try and cut down distracting echo. And if it's breezy or windy, defenitely use a "popper-stopper" (the foam mic covers, if you didn't know the term)

• As well as the usual "What do you hope to achieve" type questions, throw in some "Sexy Squad" questions, like "Being drafted to the most successful VFL/AFL club must have been pretty daunting and exciting. Have you changed your grooming regimen to keep up with the higher level of attractiveness at the top level?"

• Keep the cam on the player, a bit tighter than in the MM video, and cut in later some "noddies". This is where the camera cuts back to the interviewer looking concerned, nodding agreeing, etc. If you want some idea of how they're done, or how they look, check out A Current Affair or Today Tonight, or for even better ones in a slightly satirical manner, Frontline. The "noddies" are always filmed after the interview and cut in.

• Film the interview in an "Over the Shoulder" or "Point-of-View" style, where PJ (Or whoever is interviewing) can be seen only as a blurred silhouette, as the camera is looking over his shoulder. This way, the interviewer is facing the subject, which helps with the Mic placement also. Again check out ACA, TT or Frontline.

• Set up some "interviwing comfy chairs" or something like that.

Be different!

How embarrassing is my boyfriend? Thanks Blue Vain, this has given me one of my biggest laughs of the week. And because KK wrote it, he couldn't see his mistake, he had to get me to look.

Pure. Gold.

To go with KK's comments:

* Try not to audibly agree when you're interviewing, PJ. It's a tricky technique to master [I still haven't!] but it makes the sound bytes better and is more pro. This is especially applicable if the interviewer is not in shot [the ideal situation]

* Be VERY confident with what you're going to say - even if it's off the cuff. The interviewee will trust and respect you more if you cut out your ums and ahs and ask clear, interesting questions.

Having said all that [+ KK's blurb], TOP EFFORT!!! for a first crack that was mighty damn impressive!

It was all improv, mate.

We only decided there and then to do interviews.

We'll get better as it goes along.

Great Stuff guys Murph is such a good sport, Ask one of the guys to dress up a Geisha and run it for two hours
If only you have tortured a defenceless animal or shown some underage French boys having sex you could have got a government grant and a run at Film Festival.
Get a Pagan interview, guaranteed AFI or go down to Essendon* and pin a couple of fivers on Campos Merc and film him taking them off and send it to Ken Wood as a TPP sting.
Definately up their with other classic pre-season interviews like "Football Confidential" where Craig "Did I say Kosi" Hutchison and the Bulletin's own Lawrence Angwin spoke of how he's changed and was going to show everyone"
Ebert & Roeper "two thumbs up"............
Also just worth a note Justin Davies form re: the glasses photos, Unless he was directly rude which would be I assume uncalled for, remember he refused Andy Maher from Channel 10 an interview coming off the ground when he almost single handed won the game against the Pies two years ago at the G, fairly shy Juzzy. Nothing personal just not his thing I guess. As a funny aside Maher said he was almost bowled over by another ever-willing interviewee, none other than new heavily financed Bendigo Half back run past favourite and football dramatist, Scotty C.

LOL yeh we know, we even asked him again he siad no but was laughing, and we booooooooed him on the spot, he knows its just us mucking around. Hes still a carlton player, just anyway.

I thought it bloody fantastic.
I couldnt care if you did it in a bear suit and the Doug Anthony Allstars stuck their faces in the background.
This is something never seen before on a fan site that I've visited and it brings a whole new perspective to our interstate friends.

Absolutely brilliant guys and thanks for taking the time.
As for players refusing, I'm sure none of the players are really jumping out of their skin to be involved.
Fortunately most players realise their would be no football and pay cheques without the very same fans.

Well done again.

The Livingston interview is the best one so far and I hope he can put it together this year to stay on the list.Great to see Luke shake your hands and thanking you for the interview.

As I inferred you're better than @#$%&! Rove!

But what does Luke say at the end of the interview when I_S cracks up?

Luke was the first interview and he was only too happy to do it.

He's a great bloke.

I hope Livingston can step up this year for the good of everyone.

Good to see you've got the best gag-writers doing your material.

I have family from Kerang who know Luke and they say he's a top bloke and they've told me of the work he does with kids in the town. That's why he's one of my fav's despite being lambasted almost every time he's mentioned.
