The Segment

The story begins one march day when an email arrives from a fellow ASWA member, Ian Holton, informing me that Melody Horrill from channel 7 Adelaide was interested in doing a story on "stormchasers" So after much coordination, Easter monday 2005 saw Melody and her Cameraman, Tim, rock up at our place for some filming. A few hours and a lot of fun later the footage was had and the wait for the final cut began.
A few pics of the day can be seen from the link below

Just a sample for now..

The Segment

In the lead up to the airing of the story, advertisments on both television and the radio could be seen and heard. The segment finally aired during seven news on thursday the 7th april. Although short (approx 1and a half minutes) it was an excellent job by Melody and her team!

The seven website

Feedback from the segment was fantastic proving just how many people actually take notice of whats on the television. It also shows the power of television prime time.
Channel Seven put up some contact links and a short description of the story on their website as can be seen from the screen shots below.

This was on the seven news home page.
