Testo da tradurre se qualche volontario lo fa mi aiuta, grazie
Our community is a small one.We should honor and respect one another’s artistry and hard work. Times, they are a changing…..Technology, in part, has reduced the size of our viewing audience, as has economics, etc. etc.

[GL] Executive Producer Ellen Wheeler, TeleNext, her staff, her outstanding talented cast, crew, and writers nudged the soap opera genre off its axis by a point or two. And that’s a good thing.

They broke the mold with new camera technology, removing the dinosaur pedestals that are still in our studios from the ’50s. Filming small, everyday scenes that created in the audience’s mind a real town, a real place and anchored the stories in a genuine reality. Innovative camera work and editing brought a different dynamic. Music sues that include the lyrics of a song under the scenes emphasize the emotions and heighten them.

This might be standard in nighttime TV. But that is what Ellen understood. Our audience want our shows to look more like nighttime. And within their budget constraints, I believe that GL accomplished this.

Desperate times in the world of television do call for innovation and change. CBS and P&G should be proud that they were willing to take the gamble with Guiding Light.

Irna Phillips, the grande dame of soaps, would have been the first to grasp these fresh ideas. She was a genuine innovator and would have understood that change is the only constant.

Seventy-two years is a helluva run. Everyone one of you [at GL] should be proud of your work and your artistry.

Kudos.
