Aside of being a skilled entertainer, broadcaster and producer, Dick was a great guy. He never 'talk down' to anyone, never got crazy on a shoot when things didn't go as planned and showed respect for every crew member working the set.

Dick had was a 'promoter' in the kindest way, he knew what he wanted and nothing could stop him. I had seen him at the Dick Clark Production offices in Burbank a week before he had his stroke, when I heard the news, I was shocked, because he was so vibrant. As we all know, that didn't stop the showman, it gave him one more challenge, as difficult as it was, he seemed to concur!

He leaves us with many memories and a brand that few will ever forget. The guy who took 'radio to TV' has made a huge impact on the production industry. Our thoughts go out to his family and I know he must be organizing a production in the clouds. Thanks for all you taught me...Rest In Peace my friend!

From new transmission platforms to mini-satellite transmitters the floor was active. JL Fisher had some new examples to move the camera, lighting is mostly LED and finally, we're seeing great improvements to batteries and saving power (not to mention $$$$).

The show was great, parties fabulous and another end until NAB 2013!

The new script was delivered and received with very positive comments from well known Gospel enthusiasts and modern day artist. MPCI is encouraged by the comments given, which were embraced by those who read the new script. The dynamic story with an outline of camera blocking was endorsed and approved by the entire group.

The financial support team are excited about the new script praising it as a motion picture that will live on for a long run. In addition, the feature film may be shot in 3-D Stereoscopic format, which will increase the shelf life as more demand for 3-D content is broadening in Hollywood circles. MPCI will incorporate the new AEDE technique in the approach to camera movement. These techniques perfected by MPC will add an unprecedented look and feel to the project. However, we're still looking at the cost effectiveness of 3D.

"GOOD NEWS BLUES" is one of several stories MPCI is producing about people who throughout history have made and contributed positive impacts to society. Films will be available for Theatrical release, as well as Pay-TV and Home Video sales in 2012. A stage play adaptation of the feature film script in now in the process of completion.

The movie development is part of the overall historical research and educational campaign on Col. Charles Young, who lead the famous Buffalo Soldiers. Young made a huge impact on race during the turn of the century as the first African-America commissioned US Army Colonel.

MPCI has engaged in the initial task of presenting this project to the financial community as well as broadcast network interest. Once, funding is secured MPC will begin the pre-production process. No production schedule is confirm at this time. MPC would like to begin the film adaptation in 2012. For more information on Col. Young please visit the web site by clicking here.
