School Zone Santa .Com

So much for all the camera angles . they used me in one line in a news item and that one statement they aired out of context. They forgot to use the soundtrack of "One flew over the cuckoos nest " in the back ground to complete the picture.

Now here a story line .

( Voice over)

At Kogarah in the southern suburbs of Sydney is a school zone with two speed cameras which is notorious for fleecing unsuspecting motorists and reaped for the state government $6.5 million in 2003/2004 alone

Now show some file tape of a speed camera flashing repeatedly .

File tape?

(For instance if a news item is about a aboriginal land claim , the clip that's normally used is the one with Koorri women, waist deep in a billabong collecting water lilies or a group dancing bare breasted in a city square.,or a hunter gatherer clubbing to death a goanna.
This footage helps when discussing a serious subject..)

Then through the front window of a vehicle, show school zone santa waving his arm madly to slow the car in front to the correct speed to avoid being a danger to children and coincidentaly also avoid being caught by the speed camera.
The voice over person can then explain why this Santa has been doing this.
since the start of the new school year and has saved drivers as much as $35,000 in fines in one day And he is making a laughing stock out of the RTA/GOV and everybodys loving it,.
He now has another santas' helper on the other side of the road.
Two more volunteers will make the road safer for the children at a "black spot" school zone at Gymea soon

How many "black spots" are there in Sydney?

If a school zone is a "black spot" it needs flashing lights and a speed camera too if they want.

School zone santa and his growing number of supporters wants the RTA to install "flashing lights " to help make drivers aware of school zone times.

Now the cameraman can take different shots of cars approaching ,santa waving and the brake lights coming on with the speed camera in the background. Shots of drivers waving ,drivers tooting, kids giving santa hi -fives. etc etc ........

All in all, a good human interest story.
