This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Is it possible that there is a better recipe for entertainment than fast paced TV, quick editing and reality shows that are filled with staged drama? What if you took it to the other extreme? In this talk Hellum tells the history of slow-TV, from a courageous decision to air a unedited train ride where nothing happens.... to a five and a half day journey with a Coastal ship. And the result? Staggering! Learn more from Thomas in this humorous talk about TV habits Thomas Hellum is a project Manager, photographer and executive producer at NRK (Main Norwegian Broadcasting TV channel) ,where he has worked since 1992. He lives by the motto: “Life is best when it’s a bit strange.” He is a producer of documentaries and various infotainment programs, and one of the people behind a totally opposite direction in TV entertainment: "slow-TV." About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
