The JAM TV staff has been working on their documentary for the Polk County
Academy Awards. The topic is on Boating Safety. It was all filmed in one
day, but has taken months to edit. All editing is done on a computer using
a program called Media Suite Pro. Still in the editing process, editors
Will Fowler and Ashleigh Vaught only have a few days of work left. After
putting on the finishing touches, they will transfer the document from Media
Suite to tape, and then will be able to put it together on one tape with
the editing machines. By using computer grapghics, Will and Ashleigh were
able to make titles (names of the interviewer and interviewee) on the interviews,
make a beatiful beginning title, and many other extrordanary effects. JAM
TV would like to thank Ron Campbell and Joe Chambers, volunteers for the
Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, for taking time out to be
interviewed by Robert Antonello and Craig Clevenger, and for putting on
a courtesy inspection on one of JAM TV's boats; Cypress Gardens for their
interviews by Ashleigh Vaught and for their permission to allow filmage
from the Island in the Sky; Dr. Bob Antonello for his introduction to the
video; the parents of the crew for bringing the crew to and from the spot
of filming, and for picking up the some of the crew after school for editing
purposes; Sea Doo for allowing us to use clips from their video; and a special
thanks to Gene Vaught for allowing JAM TV to do all of their filming from
the docks at and in his business, Gene's Lakeside Marine, on Lake Shipp.
