Dateline September 21, 2006 You are asking, Ò What is Sea Quest Kids and Advance America Foundation doing at an International Karate Tournament? Ò Sea Quest Kids as part of the Film and Television Division of Advance America Foundation was hired by Foundation supporter, Red Hot Entertainment, to help shoot and edit the International Shin Do Kumate Tournament in Tampa, Florida.  The Film and Television Division of Advance America Foundation is a means for the Foundation to earn money that it needs to operate instead of completely depending on donations.

 

Advance America Foundation and Sea Quest Kids are working with Red Hot Entertainment of New York City in a joint effort to produce numerous projects in film and television.  They are joined at the hip as it were by Pat Corbitt who is the FoundationÕs Executive Vice President of External Affairs as well as the Film and Television Division and also a partner in Red Hot Entertainment, LLC.  You will see the Sea Quest Kids trailer on location as the production trailer for many projects.

 

After four days of High Definition action shooting AAF Film and Television Division had some ÒRed HotÓ entertainment footage to take back to the editing studio in Old Bridge, New Jersey.  Work commenced immediately after Executive Vice President Pat Corbitt returned from Orlando and after Steve Gronka returned from the Sea Quest Kids exhibit at the Atlantic City In-Water Power Boat Show. 

The footage is shot on High Definition Digital Tape and then must be captured by a computer on a disk drive.  From there the magic begins.  Corbitt has an outstanding career in film and television production having been one of the first producers of Network Sports for ABC, NBC, and CBS.  Gronka has some pretty decent credits of his own including having been the Coproducer of the music video that helped launch the career of Jennifer Love Hewitt. 

Using the latest technology in hardware and software the dynamic duo of Corbitt and Gronka made the butterfly appear from the computer cocoon.  In order to meet expanded project requirements and an exceptionally tight airdate deadline, the editing required an around the clock operation.

Shin Do Kumate X TV Show is an example of the advanced shooting and television editing capabilities of Advance America Foundation and Sea Quest Kids in house Television and Film Production Division.
