SHOW TIME: Oxnard’s tourism bureau is looking for a company to make a video to sell the city as a convention spot. Group IV Productions of Oxnard is one of four firms being considered. If owner Stan Greenway gets the job, he said he’ll make a travelogue, showing the renovated downtown and nearby harbors. Said Greenway: “We want to set a tone that says this town has character and a place in history. We’re not just a little town along the 101.”

MAD ABOUT EMMYS?: Not Marti D. Humphrey, a Moorpark re-recording mixer who shared an Emmy with Gary D. Rogers of Oak Park and two others for his work on the NBC sitcom, “Mad About You.” “Mad” is filmed before a live audience in Culver City, but set in New York. Humphrey “smoothes out” the dialogue and audience sounds, adds music and sound effects. Said Humphrey: “The whole idea is to make it look and sound like you’re in New York.”

EMMY II: Humphrey and Rogers weren’t the only local kids to make good. Michael Shea at Dream Quest Images of Simi Valley won a special visual effects Emmy for the “Earth II” series pilot. The show featured Earth exiles in space searching for a new planet. Shea created a scene in which they find Earth II, but get sucked into its atmosphere and blown apart. Said Shea: “We had another spaceship that was going to crash this season, but it never got there.” The show was canceled.

CYBERBAR: Ventura County prosecutor Roger Inman won’t win an Emmy for his performance; in fact, he’s trying to stop his television theatrics. Fed up with what he sees as bad legal commentary on the O.J. Simpson trial, he’s going online with “The Sidebar,” a weekly opinion on the World Wide Web at https: //www.cyberspacepr.com. Cyberspace Public Relations, the Camarillo firm owned by Inman’s wife, Antonia, is the sponsor. “She got tired of my ranting and raving and said she would prefer that I would write something out rather than yell at the television.”
