Subject: Expanding the
scope
Randy, we just (well, as of me
sending this, which could mean anything to you!) got the first package of
material you sent back. The boys were looking at it, an, well, we love it.
There's some great stuff in there. Very raw, very visceral, very dynamic
material that's bound to grab the attention of the viewers and the sponsors.
You've done a great job there so far, and this project has a lot of potential.
Also, that bit you pulled with the
VTOL and claiming to be a government spook? Great stuff.
Now here's the thing. The boys at
programming love it and they're definitely going to use the material you've
sent us, but they also want more. Obviously we'll use whatever you send us, but
we'd like to see a little expansion of the scope to give us more source material.
Don't get me wrong, the unit you're with are great stuff, but obviously we need
to inject more material in order to keep the ratings going for a full season.
So what I'm suggesting is that you
should try to poke around some other merc units. I'm not saying jump ship of
course, but rather if you could try to find members of other units for
interviews and the like. Find their experiences, get some tales of their past campaigns
and all that sort of stuff. I've been thinking that we could 'spice up' each episode
with a few extra bits from other points of view and such.
That provides some variety and
gives us something to hook the viewers in with - "tune in next week to see
what sort of crazed, grizzled, combat-scarred veteran we can find, and hear
their tales". It allows us to show a cross-section across the entire trade
(of course) and add fresh perspectives (of course) but also provide a list of
colourful characters that the audience are going to want to see more of.
Keep up the good work, and I'm
eagerly looking forward to seeing what you send us.
