LEAP OF FAITH RADIO PRODUCTION with Bobby Ocean<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"radioIt seems that radio has been in my destiny.<\/p>\n

Of all the media blaring across America at the time of my mid-teens —
\nmagazines & books, movies, music recordings, and I was enamoured
\nof them all — it was radio that most tweaked my imagination and inspired
\nmy motivation. This was the only choice that offered me the infinite treat
\nof playing within another person’s limitless imagination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could see shortcomings accepted by film makers because of budget
\nrestrictions on the TV and in movies. If the script said, “…a man is
\nsitting under a tree when the guy in the white hat walks by…”, the
\nfilm maker needed a budget. The video must be able to project a tree,
\ntwo guys, a white hat, enough apace for one of the guys to walk by. So
\nthey need to come up with enough money to purchase or rent that.<\/p>\n

Further, the more money spent, the more likely to create dissatisfaction
\nand boredom. Though it might not be the kind of tree everyone might
\nagree on, the crew has to have one so there it is. What’s more, if the
\nproducer spent a lot of money on the set, the camera would often be
\nrequired to dwell there too long.<\/p>\n

Then, film makers have to decide which ambiance to show, even though
\nit\u00a0 may not have been mentioned; what time of day, weather, mood, etc.
\nMore budget. More limitations.<\/p>\n

Ah, but not so for radio!<\/p>\n

For that sound in your head that instantly dances with Creation, radio, the
\nnarrator simply reads the script. All the ingredients and actors in the scene,
\nand the money they would cost, are supplied by the listener (talk about cost-
\ncutting!) at the instant the words reach their brain.\u00a0 No budget restrictions,
\nno imagination cost-cuts, no one left unsatisfied. Ooh, baby.<\/p>\n

But the big pay off for me wasn’t the money saved during production, it
\nwas the “unlimited expense account” of the listeners’ endlessly
\ncreative\u00a0 minds. If I wanted dinosaurs in my promo (and this was before
\nCGI, which is still expensive today) I could have them. For free, or a
\nsimple sound effect. If I wanted time travel, Weapons with titanium
\ntrim, diamond-studded epaulets on a character’s shirt — no problem,
\ncost is not an obstacle.<\/p>\n

In my early days of radio, I found and recognized these as miraculous
\ntools with which to demonstrate complete and total mastery of the
\nuniverse, and think they still are. Conveniently tucked right inside.<\/p>\n

Today, In our lives we constantly seek some sort of control, so that we
\nwon’t have to do without, or suffer. I found out something important
\nabout that, too. Where to look.<\/p>\n

Throughout life, as in radio from top to bottom, the answers are NOT
\n“out there” (the X-Files held only QUESTIONS). We must look just INSIDE,
\nand right before imagination takes hold.<\/p>\n

It takes commitment and a little more practice but isn’t that the fun?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
