The Salinor Show 8: The Making Of
AjazzNetworks.com is about to be Salinored...again.
The idea of The Salinor Show is simple: adopt the ideals of Salinor (the band) to video. Anything goes. Improvisation is key. Screw structure. Toss out the norm, hone in on the taboo, and relish the unexplored. Episode one (posted above) represents our hopeful transition from improv indie music to improv indie video. The next episode of The Salinor Show (episode 8) will convey that transition. Why is this episode different? It's going to be a real boy—I mean show. There will be structure. It will actually have commercials, news segments, educational segments, and utter insanity. This isn't your typical YouTube video. There will be no piano playing cats...we prefer piano playing Salinors. It's a variety show. Simple.
Who's Involved?
At the helm, it's the guys from AjazzNetworks.com, Alex Zarnoski (that's me) and Kyle Cicilioni. We truly appreciate all the help we've been getting from our other contributors. Take the time to look for their names in the credits list. Kyle basically blew me away with episode 6, Film Etiquette, and that got my noodle spinning. I wanted to have more of that but with more of everything else. I wanted structure. That's what The Salinor Show was missing... Don't worry, it's not too structured. The point, after all, is to screw structure. Think of it as structure in its most unfettered form.
What's The Scoop?
The scoop boils down to me traveling home, unpacking tons of equipment, shooting sequences, and returning to my dungeon to edit hours of footage (Kyle too minus the traveling). It's really not that simple. It took two long days and three exhausted people to add hours of footage to digital tape and new iPads, which will eventually be whittled down to hopefully a few episodes. This wasn't the only footage captured. Kyle and his crack team of news buddies took it upon themselves to shoot some interesting footage at an undisclosed studio and used undisclosed, real lavalieres. Until this point, we were using "stock" or "vintage" footage from the good ol' days or our own music mixed with video. Now we get to enjoy ourselves and take out life's frustrations in front of a camera.
The Future...
As for what's to come...more great content from AjazzNetworks.com We really want to entertain you and that's all that really matters. We'll find a way to do it even if it means going back to old footage of us as crazy kids pounding on cheap plastic keyboards. For now, we'll do our best to make some of the wackiest, most disgustingly funny things that will be burned in to your minds.
