Heard thru the…read morecoconut wireless that one of the TSA lines was shut down so it was recommended to get to the airport early. Arrived early and was standing in line which went all the way to Southwest Airlines counter area , with nothing to do I observed a KITV vehicle driving by. A few minutes later reporter Jeremy Lee is taking video of the long line and asking people if they wanted to be interviewed. I believe KITV was the first station doing the story and highlighting the problems with the broken TSA equipment at Hilo airport. Hopefully the news coverage will put pressure on TSA and airport personnel to resolve this issue.

The host, Guy Hagi, is excellent. The problem is with Augie T. He makes jokes on the restaurant and food - basically, using airtime to showcase his "comedy act." It's hard to imagine how anyone watching would seriously believe how great the restaurant and food is, When Augie T was unavailable and replaced with another co-host, the segment improved and became much enjoyable. Please consider replacing Augie T or just have Mr Hagi do the segments himself! Food is not meant to be funny but enjoyed for it's taste. This is no joke.

I almost missed it because it right on the corner. I would have probably missed it if I didn't see a sign and staff out there waving us in. First of all, I'd like to say that PBS Hawaii does an awesome job exciting young minds to create videos. They run a great program called Hiki No which are student produced video stories. I'm really into learning and trying to teach my students how to do that. I have been trying for years but PBS Hawaii's program is wonderful. In the past I've just had to learn on my own. I'm not a professional videographer or even photographer so I don't really know what I'm doing. With Hiki No, they provide mentors to students to help them with their projects. This will be my first year participating in this with my school but we are excited. I'm excited for my students and also myself. I'm glad that I can take part in this process. Anyways, I was at PBS Hawaii because they had several breakout sessions during the day to teach us more about the video process. It was great. They had actual industry professionals giving teachers advice of how to start and what kind of shots would be best. For me, it was the first time that I really felt like I could do this. I'm excited for my students that they get expert help this year. Everyone at PBS Hawaii is wonderful. They're excited to learn about future projects and willing to work with new students.

According to the bio below, PBS Hawaii was once Hawaii Public Television and owned/managed by the…read morestate. It has since broken way from the state and renamed and rebranded itself to PBS Hawaii, which I think has done wonders for the organization. The brand new multi-million dollar broadcasting facility on the corner of Sand Island Access Road and Nimitz is a HUGE improvement from their previous facility at UH Manoa, and I'll bet this would not have been possible had it still been under the ownership/management of the state. This new facility enables PBS Hawaii to produce a lot of great local programming including HIKI NO, which are stories on topics of local interest, made and produced by Hawaii's own middle and high schoolers from public and private schools! In addition to the quality programming that PBS Hawaii airs on TV, it also hosts exclusive events for Keiki Club members, such as this past weekend's halloween costume party which was held at their brand new studio. As keiki club members, we got a little peak at their new facility and also got a photo op with Daniel Tiger! If you want to join in on the fun, just google 'pbs hawaii keiki club' for more info. $30 annual donation gets your child a cool welcome packet, on-air birthday greeting, birthday card and surprise present, quarterly newsletter, and most important, invites to exclusive members-only events!

The class taught basic knowledge of Pre Production, Production and Post Production. Instructors Wes and Brandee were awesome!! They were methodical and super patient with time to answer lots of questions. Amongst the numerous topics , the class covered everything from Story Boarding, Shot List, Using the Camera to Editing. Because I attended from home on Zoom, they let me take a JVC HD camera home to practice with the class. FYI you will need an SD card. You get a pdf textbook that helps with more in depth details on the information of the course. Once you successfully complete the course, they will email you a certificate which allows you to freely use their cameras and lights. The caveat is your project cannot be commercial and has to be aired on Olelo. Another super cool benefit of completing the course is you can sign up for 1 on 1 tutoring. I will definitely take them up on that.

I've watched programming over the years--Kamaka Pili's Aloha Authentic before he went mainstream on KHON2- the public meetings- the talk shows- the crafting show- the fishing- etc. I met a woman recently who said it gave her a safebridge to learn about our local culture and history because she had no clue coming from the east coast. She said watching 'olelo helped her understand and get along with her co workers. I'm writing about my personal experience now: my husband and I took the basic media production certification course so I could produce a show I've been wanting to tell this story but didn't know who or how. My mentor at Patsy Mink Center said--why not do it myself and use 'Olelo? Wes and Brandee were excellent trainers and our classmates were great. It is a LOT to process but lots of fun to learn something new. The staff are all great and helpful. Providing the community a voice is very valuable.

They were giving away a pair of tickets to the Janet Jackson concert. I only needed to go to their website to apply. I took a chance on faith and registered. I heard nothing for a few days . I had given up but that Friday I received a call saying they had a pair of tickets for me to the concert. I was screaming...A free pair of tickets to see James Jackson. Yes, I'm coming. I calmly took their address and went back into my meeting. Once I got my lunch break, I headed straight to Salem Media. It's a simply grey building near downtown HONOLULU. The parking there is limited to 5-6 stalls but if you wait patiently people move from them quickly. When I reached the 2nd floor the office, the gentleman at the desk was really cool. I said I'm here for My Tickets. So excited that I had to ask him to take a picture. This is truly a blessing. The next night, Saturday Night my husband and I arrive early because I knew there would be long lines. Guess what..we were able to skip the line. We got seated while everyone was waiting to come in.
