And we have video!! Today was particularly stressful what with technical difficulties coming left and right. But it was all worth it since the show actually had video today.... Packages and all. Sure there were a couple of audio problems and okay so the show was way too heavy but hey... video! Throughout the day I was worried about video. Not having enough, not any at all... All my focus was on it, that and CGs. I took advantage of approving stories with a very official green mark; making sure cutlines and CGs were all in place and that my script was as clean as a whistle. The crew did a great job with everything. Despite having connection problems, hard drive problems, camera problems, problem problems... they worked well and I couldn't be more proud.
Once I got down stairs, everything was surprising calm compared to my very first day. I was able to calmly explain scripts, videos, and rundowns without having a mental meltdown. Needlessly to say, I felt comfortable with today's show, everything was in its place. Once the show started, block A went off without a hitch. It wasn't until block B that I started to notice that I was running a bit heavy. I was hoping that weather would be able to catch up and save time but it just made things heavier. The sad part was... I saw it happening and all could was doing was watching. By the time I was trying to drop stories, the anchors were barely squeezing out a goodbye. Next time I have to remember to stay active and to not go brain-dead when I see the show running light or heavy. All I could do was watch my professor take hold of the mouse and click away at stories... dropping one by one. He took over the mic and spoke to the anchors, telling them to hurry up... say goodbye. Next time, that'll be me, instead of the girl looking dumbfounded in front of the rundown. Other than that... good show everybody!
