Promo voor PATV Channel 18

Hello People! 

To get some more practice, Josh (the PATV director) asked me to make a (45 seconds) promo video for the channel. Here it is:

Kind regards,

Tex

Good afternoon,

Today is Election Day in the United States. All eyes are on Obama and McCain. 

Till the 1960s, Iowa was clearly a republican state, but the last 50 years, it turned into what Americans call a 'swing state'. Four years ago, the Iowans voted for George Bush. This time, it looks like it will be Obama.

Almost everyone in my close environment (house/family of my roommates/colleagues at work) is part of the 'Obamacamp'. And so is the majority of the Iowa City citizens. Iowa City is by far the most liberal city in Iowa. When you go further west you'll get to the more rural part of Iowa, where people favor McCain.

We will do some coverage of the first election results at PATV. This will happen during 'Tom's guitar show'. Tom is a local celebrity in Iowa City. His show, in which he plays all kinds of songs and talks about all kinds of things, is broadcasted weekly for over 14 years now. This week he will talk about the election and we made a map of the United States where we can color states blue (democratic) or red (republican). 

Have to go now,

Bye!

UPDATE: OBAMA has won! The rebuilding of the United States of America can begin!
