November 4th, exactly 100 days to the start of the Olympics, I drive to Whistler to meet with Radio-Canada's video journalist, Dominique Pannebianco. He has been assigned to shoot a series of vignettes on various aspects of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, specific to Whistler, and of course Austria House is one of the most interesting ones.
It is a clear and cool day, so the natural light in the House is great.
Dominique is an ex colleague of mine, as I spent many years at Radio-Canada, albeit on the radio side of things, so this was a reunion of sorts for both of us, as I recently left Radio-Canada and he had just returned from a year on the Atlantic coast, working mostly in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton.
So I gave him a guided tour, with running commentary, in French of course!
These vignettes, including the ones on Austria House should be aired on Radio-Canada's national TV network starting in January 2010. They will most likely be in three formats: 50 seconds, 90 seconds and 2.5 minutes. They will also be shown on RDI,the French equivalent of CBC's Newsworld.
Radio-Canada is the French public broadcaster in Canada, thus the corporate sister of the CBC.
