We're
still here . . .
On the right is a video frame from "Why We Fly",
which combines the action of aerial based content with gorgeous air to
air and air to ground scenery, and was shot by the best aviation video
team on the planet! Still "on hold", it's our hope that maybe
the economy will turn around again to the point where such original content
will be less of a gamble to the networks, and they will come back to us
for series production of this show. For now, it remains a good in-house
example of superior HD production.
Aria is staffed by a very small, but very efficient permanent
staff. Aria continues to create international content at big level results,
from just a small group of people, and, very minimal but efficient equipment.
Aria, being a forerunner in HD right at the beginning, knows how to capture
a great HD product. Our shows like: "Why We Fly" are
tokens to that achievement. Some of the air to air content is the best
ever seen in high definition! So far, we've seen NOBODY match our air to
air shots. And that is a huge (an quite arrogant) statement. We still get
rousing comments on just how good the images are, and how impossible it
seems they would have been to get. No, it wasn't easy.
Aria's biggest setback to date was "9-11". When the
trade towers fell, the networks panicked and we lost 3 shows. We recovered.
Our last group suffered the same fate due to the depressed economy. The
unfortunate timing of trying to launch yet more creative and original content
and the networks trying to trim anything not locked down, kept them off
the air. So, back to square one, and Aria prepares to go international.
Look for new content based from afar! Aria is teaming up with the Caribbean
for some of the brightest and inspirational content yet...
Based in Central Florida - with additional staff in San Diego
- part of our emphasis on HD production is in travel content both for the
traveler, and for those who just want a high definition view of the rest
of the world. It looks so good, it really is like looking through a window
in your home, and seeing another part of the world, just outside! Current
emphasis is the Caribbean, not only because it is close to our HD base
of operations, but also because the scenery showcases the new technology
so well! The pristine clear water; lush tropical settings, and the friendly
local people from the various islands.
Another area where we are working on special HD content, is
in the development and production of special programs of varying lengths,
from shorts to feature lengths. This goes back to Aria's roots when we
just supplied special fill-in content for cable television, both at a local
and national level. These programs are also designed to showcase new talent,
and new subject material. Even with all of this, we've become available
for outside work.
With our HD production capabilities, we have great plans for showcasing
every walk of life, with main emphasis for broadcast on HD specific broadcast
channels. Current content has is being engineered for broadcast on the
1080 HD channels, available on both digital cable and satellite broadcast
networks. Full 1080p production is standing by for network implemented
content, so catch us now before we're too busy to create something for
you.
If you haven't upgraded to high definition television, you're truly
missing out on the wonderful new visual experiences waiting for you there.
We recommend at least 1080i for broadcast viewing, and 1080p if you are
into high definition gaming.
