The World of Television Changes ~ The Handmaid’s Tale

By 4chionlifestyle | September 20, 2017

The Handmaid’s Tale , a Hulu Original, awarded the Emmy® for Outstanding drama series on Sunday. This story is about a group of women who produce babies for infertile couples. The drama series brings forward the discussion on the roles of woman. As a streaming drama, it is changing the view of how we watch and award television series.

This television series is, “Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values.” (Hulu)

This is the first time a drama series that is a streaming network receives an Emmy. This means that the many venues for television production and watching are competitive and creative. This shows win brings about a strong reputation and validity to Hulu. They produce a show that is relevant, entertaining, and awarding in an online streaming format. Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu are not only entertainment but also buyers and sellers in the industry. They produce award-winning shows changing the dialogue about what the customer wants and the ability to buy and produce projects from film to television.

Congrats to Hulu, cast, and crew on the eight Emmys®.

James Pierce Connelly joins us on the red carpet at the Emmy^®Creative Arts Awards. He works production design on The Voice seen on NBC. Each year brings on new aesthetics for the set design on The Voice.

Working together with the directors, crew while keeping the audience and contestants in mind they develop a set that provides the sensory experience.

The anxiousness, nerves, and competition felt in the set design. His focus with the set design is taking the story and style of the environment to experience. This draws the audience, crew, and more into the full feeling.

Connelly’s background provides him with the visual aesthetics on stage to convey the feelings, beauty, and functionality. His parents were architect and art teacher. He participated in theater in High School and graduated from college with a fine art degree.

He faces new challenges with every new season on the set. He sees behavior is the result of environment plus personality. He sees the artists’ personality journeying through the hallways and The Voice brand as the environment. There are real stories with each artist. The set creates the feelings and storytelling. This is how he focuses the set design each season.

The new set takes a team effort, without changing the spinning chairs. He is grateful for the team he is working with on the show.

Jayson Jackson Emmy's Creative Arts 2016 Red Carpet

Telling a Life Story, “What Happened Miss Simone”

By 4chionlifestyle | September 8, 2017

Jayson Jackson What Happened Miss SImone — Emmy’s Creative Arts 2016 Red Carpet Jayson Jackson

Jayson Jackson joins us on the red carpet at the Emmy^® Creative Arts Awards. What Happened, Miss Simone? Is a documentary after the personal life of Nina Simone.

Jayson Jackson produced and created, What Happened, Miss Simone, a film that discusses the woman behind the performer. Jayson says, “The story needed to be told and the timing was now” (Dolly).

Jackson states, “The lives of many performers is just their performance. Many forget that they have personal lives, struggles, and moments. This was the time to show that Miss Simone was a strong courageous woman, that lived a personal story.”

Jackson goes on to explain that telling the story required capturing the classical artist that suffered from mental illness and domestic violence. Hercivil rights voice is strong in regards to the movement. Her life impacted millions with her talent and music, but her story will bring honest living. The story reminds us that we are all human beings living and working within our own skin.

The film based on Nina’s diaries, notes she wrote on napkins, newspapers, and hotel pads. This brought the film to the life of Nina Simone. Jackson states, “The best that we can walk away from this film is honesty. That person will have a respect for the artists that honestly wear their emotions on their sleeves.”

Producing this film took on the idea of searching for footage and stories from Simone’s Life. He states, “We did not write a script. We wanted Nina Simone’s life to show us the story.” The film became just that her story. This story is about a strong woman who performes with a talent that allowed her to sing in any genre and understand the music better than some composers.

What Happened, Miss Simone took home 1 Emmy at The Creative Arts for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special.
