POSITIVE HMI.....FROM "dada CAMIONETTE LA"....TO RENTAL JET....

I know that we often come here to vent about all the bad things hapenning in the HMI....BS PRODUCTIONS -BAND STARTING LATE -FIGHTS BAD SOUND ETC...and STaFF PoZé is no different than the average poster if not one of the top critics of the state of this business.

Well today I want to take this moment to highlight some of the POSITIVE points of the HMI over the years.....Ki jan nou grandi....in other words the areas that we have improved....I will start with some but I'm sure you will see and feel how you can contribute to this post with your words or whatever illustration that you want to include.....
Remember this post is about THE POSITIVE ONLY......
Jodi a pa pleyen pa joure....banm sak ki POSITIF yo seulman...SVP....

I would like to start by showing the quality of the videos....I know video productions have improved all over the world but in this area nou pa rete dèyè camionette la toujou like in this video NOU VLE below by Ansy Derose...we are now in the rental jet as seen in the video BUZZ of Carimi....
To me this is one major area of improvement....please enjoy and compare....the way we were to where we are today on a POSITIVE note....

NOU VLE



BUZZ

her areas of improvement worth noting are:

RECORDING
The quality of sound in the recording....Today's artists are very cautious when it comes to the quality of the sound of their upcoming records.

COMMUNICATION
The mode of communication for instance we now have more radio and T.V stations and off course the internet

FLIERS AND POSTERS
The quality of the fliers....I remember when we use to design our own black and white 8 & 1/2 x11 fliers, and later having a flier on different color paper was a big thing....Then we moved on to having fliers in full color and finally in the mid to late 90s we had the colorful heavy stock double sided 4x6 fliers and posters that we have today.....
We also have better lighting at the festivals today if we consider the early days of Haitian Festivals at Theatre de Verdure in the 1960s/1970 and Festival Tandem des Cracs 1970s as well as Festy Vacances 1980s to the festivals at Henfrasa 1980s/1990s.

CARNIVAL FLOATS AND VIEWING STANDS
We also have better looking floats at the carnival parade in Haiti....The Diaspora is not there yet....In Haiti the floats are really nice to look at and I can say the same for the viewing stands in the area of Champs de Mars.

ROYALTIES
Unlike their predecessors, many song writers are now aware of the road and the necessary steps to take to protect their Intellectual Properties and most of all to cash in for their hard work.

SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING
These days our artists are taking advantage of their popularity by getting sponsorship and endorsement as well as getting paid for taking part in radio - T.V - newspapers and billboards advertising

I will stop there...Jwèt Pou Nou...............

Great stuff as usual Staff La....... One other area the HMI is taking full advantage of are Social Media a website like BaseKonpa, FaceBook,Tweeter and MySpace. Now days social networking is the way to go. Where would President Obama be without the Social Media.
Once again great stuff Staff Poze.
