Brent Roske

Brent Roske is a writer / producer who moved from Hollywood, California to Iowa where he hosts a TV show, Roske on Politics (2015 Emmy® Award nominee for Best Politics/ Government Program), currently airing in the Washington D.C. DMA on NBC (Hagerstown, Maryland affiliate) after Meet The Press and on Iowa's ABC5 after This Week.

Career

Brent Roske wrote and directed the political drama 'Chasing the Hill' and the sequel 'Courting Des Moines' (currently in production). Roske was a creative director at NBC Universal for 9 years and ran for Congress in California's 33rd district. Roske currently lives in Des Moines, Iowa, where he directs and hosts the bi-partisan series 'Roske on Politics' (2015 Emmy® Award nominee for Best Politics/ Government Program), featuring conversations with the 2016 Presidential candidates, politicians, journalists, entertainers and community leaders. "'Roske on Politics' isn't red versus blue but grown-ups having grown-up discussions on how to improve the American experience." Roske was nominated for the first Daytime Emmy® Award given for broadband entertainment and received a Commemorative Los Angeles Emmy® Award for an NBC sports special.

Brent

Brent is an Old English place name and surname. The place name can be from Celtic words meaning "holy one" (if it refers to the River Brent), or "high place", literally, "from a steep hill" (if it refers to the villages in Somerset and Devon, England) (Mills 1991). The surname often indicates that one's ancestors lived in a place called Brent.

Brent has also become a regularly used given name in some countries, being among the thousand most common names for boys born in the United States since 1933. When used as a given name today, Brent is sometimes a short form of Brenton, but this was probably not the original inspiration for Brent's use as a given name, since Brenton's own regular use as a first name came many years after Brent was established in that role.

References

Live action

In filmmaking, video production, and other media, live action refers to cinematography or videography that does not use animation (though sometimes based on an original animated series).

As the normal process of making visual media involves live action, the term itself is usually superfluous, but it makes an important distinction in situations in which one might normally expect animation, as in a Pixar film, a video game, or when the work is adapted from an animated cartoon, such as Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, 101 Dalmatians films, or The Tick television program.

The phrase "live action" also occurs within an animation context to refer to non-animated characters: in a live-action/animated film such as Space Jam, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, or Mary Poppins in which humans and cartoons co-exist, "live-action" characters are the "real" actors, such as Bob Hoskins and Julie Andrews, as opposed to the animated "actors", such as Roger Rabbit himself.

As use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in films has become a major trend, some critics, such as Mark Langer, have discussed the relationship and overlap between live action and animation. New films that use computer-generated special effects can not be compared to live action films using cartoon characters because of the perceived realism of both styles combined.
