THINGS TO CONSIDER: This is “documentary-style” television, which means that although we aim to remain true to events as they happen, there are times we may need to direct the action. For instance, we may ask you to re-do some things, so that we get a better shot or a different camera angle, or ask you to repeat certain answers in order to tell your story in a succinct way. PLEASE ONLY AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SHOW IF YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE AND THE FLEXIBILITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF OUR PRODUCTION. Please be aware that many of the activities we videotape will take more time to complete than if you did them on your own. (For example, you might be able to tour a house in 15 minutes, but it will take us several hours to videotape you because we have to light and set up our camera.) IN CONCLUSION... We have tried to anticipate all of the questions we think you might ask, but if you would like more information, please don’t hesitate to phone, fax or e-mail us at our production office. We hope we’ll be working with you and that it will be an exciting and rewarding experience!
