soubriquet 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Our local TV station is currently recording a feature on soubriquette doing her thing in the kitchen. She's producing some kind of confection based on our local Obanazawa water melons. It's due to go to air next week sometime. I offered my services as tarento. I had the "ooh, aah, desu ne" off pat. They turned me down because having a disreputable ex-hippie lowers the tone too far Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Local TV means we won't be able to see it. You'll have to upload the highlights to You-Tube for us! Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 , more or less, and cut my hair. Ditched the Afghan coat and bell bottom jeans. I still listen to Jimi Hendrix though. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by soubriquet: How do I do that? Hmm, record it on a video or DVD recorder, convert it to some kind of computer friendly format on a DVD, and upload. Sounds simple but I just made that up! Don't actually have a clue how you would do it. One of my frinds at work always converts things from VHS to mpeg for me. Not sure how she does it. Anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks I'm pretty sure I can't get my computer to read from the VCR. What I've done is ask soubriquette to get the TV company to supply a DVD of the section. There seems to be plenty of free software claiming to convert DVD to Divx/Mpeg4 format. Anyone? It took them 4 hours to film a 5 minute piece. Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Nice one soubs. Quote: She's producing some kind of confection based on our local Obanazawa water melons Sounds nice that. Link to post Share on other sites
fjef 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 There are many ways to convert video (analog like video tape and digital like DVDs) into a format suitable for watching on your computer and transferring over the net. Most DV video cameras (record from a VCR and transfer to your computer) can do the conversion and there are lots of other ways to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
Zaoman 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Tell us when it will be on soubriquet! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Ok. It's on at 5.00 pm, Saturday, 26th on TUY Channel 6. Thanks fjef. I don't have a video camera, but I'll try to get as much as possible as an AVI file on my digicam. When I asked soubriquette to get a DVD from the TV company she went all coy, and gave me a very old-fashioned look. Pointing out that being shy and appearing on TV seems a little contradictory didn't help Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm sure if you asked they'd give you one. I remember when I went on the local radio and tv when I first came here they gave me vid tapes, with original packaging too! (wooooo!) Link to post Share on other sites
NisekoPancakes 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Have you seen the piece yet soubriquet or is the tv airing the first time? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Nope, haven't seen it and they won't give me a copy. And soubriquette gave me a little talk about being on air for marketing, not for fame. Oops. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 surely showing others on SJ is marketing is it not? Exposure is what marketing is all about! Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yes. Very proud of a lady who took a single-man wholesale bakery and created a significant local business. Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 He most definitely said something about having a soft spot for chocolate coated women (or at least a certain woman covered in chocolate) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 That's right, big-will. I eat something like 1-3 pieces of cake per year. But I don't mind the fragrance of chocolate, strawberries and cream. She always smells and tastes good to me. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Man, she seems like a genuine little success! Well done to your lady (and to you for being her friend) ps - that clip was beautifully presented. Point the camera at the screen, exactly how I would have done it (to the scorn of new media losers). I also got some flash backs. It had all the elements of good J tv: ditty girl presenter, text on the screen, central theme of food Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (Huge text on the screen. Actually it wasn't that huge, they could have made it bigger.) Well done! I wouldn't mind trying some of that. Link to post Share on other sites
