After our second group meeting that took place yesterday, I feel like our group has a much better sense of the direction of our show. Instead of a News Magazine type show featuring food, we've decided to take a more game-show like approach. Along the line of Man vs. Food, our host will visit different restaurants in Ithaca which feature some type of food challenge (Purity, Glen Pines, etc;). The host will go head to head with a special guest (differing per location) to see who can complete the challenge first (if at all). Before we get to the challenge, the host will interview a chef of the restaurant, talk about the dishes they make, ingredients they use (local produce), and the contest.
So the main idea is food challenges (college edition... featuring wings, pizza, "collegey foods"), but specifically feature local, Ithaca restaurants.
We have started to divide the jobs among the team members, with Chris in charge of the production book and lighting, and myself in charge of editing. Dave from "Eating Ithaca" has also replied to us and we're working on setting up a meeting with him very soon. Finally, we're looking to audition students for the role of the host. We need someone charismatic and comfortable in front of the camera, who is also a contender in the food challenges.
