Rocky, Good on ya', Mate!

Wonderful publicity for kilts in general and your kilts in particular. We'll be interested to hear if you get a business bounce from the segment.

(The wag in me wonders if this wouldn't be better done on St. Andrew's Day or prior to Burn's Night, but TV always goes for the easy story.)

The on-camera tips I can offer you are simple:

1- Be yourself, and have fun. Smile a lot; you're a nice guy...let it show.

2- They're there because you're the expert; don't be afraid to tell 'em what you know.
2a- Have your thoughts collected, think before you speak, and then "speak short", i.e. don't ramble during an answer or explanation.

3- Forget the camera; talk to the interviewer. Glance at the camera occasionally as you would someone else in the room while speaking.

4- Be willing to put up with some minor inconvenience in the store, such as perhaps moving furniture to accommodate a camera position or similar upsets. TV isn't as simple as they make it seem, and if this is live-to-air, the shoot may become a bit more complicated. (Or not--depends a lot on the producer and the crew.)

Best of luck and please post a full "after-action" report, hopefully with a link to the result.

Peace
