I walked into the BRIC orientation one day, looking for tips for making better youtube videos, and two hours later, I was signed up for a tv production class and en route to having my own tv show.
I was doing some coaching session with Capes Coaching at the time, and I remember Betsy asking me during the coaching - "how did it go from working on youtube to having a tv show??".
I guess I fell into it by accident, but BRIC makes it so possible, so affordable and so fun. It's a lot of work to make a tv show - REALLY!, but the best part is there's a whole community there to help you make it happen. We volunteer to work on each other's shoots (it takes 9 people to run the studio), and I'm learning so much every time I go there. From how to run the equipment, to learning about new topics on other people's shows.
My other interest over the last few years has been fitness and getting back in shape. Just like the tv show wasn't planned, I signed up at the Y for personal training one day and two years later fitness is a big part of my life.
I wanted to merge these interests, so my next episode of A Fiddle Around Town is "Athletes, Motivation & Music" . We interviewed my trainer, Jarenn Stewart about fitness and we interviewed my friend Tonya about running her first marathon. Of course we had to have music, so Vita and I were joined by percussionist Steve Holloway, who is known for all his musical endeavors (Riverdance) but is also part of the BRIC community.
The show airs October 12th 8:30 pm in all five boroughs of New York City on Verizon FIOS Cable, and in Brooklyn on Time Warner 34/Cablevision 67/RCN 82/Verizon FIOS 42.
Worldwide it will air online at http://bricartsmedia.org/community-media/watch-brooklyn-public-network
and on October 12th I will also put it on my youtube www.youtube.com/cadyfinlayson
I hope my journey will inspire you to try some new things, as so many people have inspired me!
