Each of the 22 competencies was strictly limited to the house under the quarantine needs imposed through Venezuela in mid-March, depending on distance learning through social media to master walking, makeup and performance, according to the organizers. prepared young women made entirely online.
The organizers then recorded the player individually, without a protective mask, walking down the track and making other appearances on stage. The videos were edited to give the audience the feeling that they all gave the impression of being combined into a group.
The pre-recorded program will air thursday night and the coronation of the new Miss Venezuela and the two finalists will take position the next day in recorded broadcast.
The general manager of the event, Nina Sicilia, rejects the concept that the separate pre-record competition will eliminate the raw excitement of the event and said that in the parade opening the parade, each of the contestants was moved to tears and had to tweak his mark. -up.
“The need sharpens ingenuity,” said Sicily, who won Miss International in 1985. “We had to reconfigure, adjust our resources, our opportunities, being aware that this deserves not to replace our goal. “
Quarantine measures aim to prevent the infection of the 22 candidates, the dozens of people who paint around them and the manufacturers of the personal channel Venevisión, which is the 67th Miss Venezuela pageant.
Sicily took the helm of the festival two years ago with Maria Gabriela Isler, Miss Universe 2013, and Jacqueline Aguilera, Miss World 1995. The organization’s executive committee suffered a radical replacement after the abrupt departure of Osmel Sousa, known as the Tsar of Venezuelan Beauty. , who led the contest for nearly 4 decades.
Ricardo Di Salvatore, executive manufacturer of Venevisión, said this year’s Miss Venezuela is an “experience. “
“Making a program that you’ve been doing for so long and living with the adrenaline rush of being ‘live’ for 3 hours has become two months and part of individual recordings with participants where biosecurity criteria also have the protagonists of the event,” he said.
They observed examples of others looking for concepts on how to organize a beauty contest in the midst of a pandemic. They borrowed concepts from similar problems in Spain, the United States and Italy, Said Di Salvatore. Countries like Panama and Colombia have done so, too. advanced with good-looking contests despite the pandemic.
Candidates between the ages of 18 and 26 come from educational backgrounds, including doctors, lawyers, journalists, teachers and even a former Navy cadet.
It is difficult for many to be informed to speak in public through a computer screen or cell phone, however Miss Venezuela’s public conversation coach Dave Capella said he was convinced that all applicants had triumphed over this obstacle.
One of the demanding situations of the distance education program to help the competition triumph over the scare level, Capella said. He first encouraged them to blatantly acknowledge their fears, and pulled video questions from other foreign competitions to help them stay informed to think quickly.
Sicily said that despite the difficulties of the pandemic, the exhibition will have to continue.
“Our purpose has been to put Miss Venezuela, ” he said.
