Individual blog #3

I have a whole new perspective on television. Yesterday I directed my first full length mock episode of the show that I am working at at KICU Action 36. You look at the director spot and at first it may look like all he is doing is telling people to switch from camera one to camera two, but oh no no no no.
At first I felt overwhelmed with the number of different things going on. Not only did I have to demonstrate good judgment and a proper sense of timing, but I had to be on top of ever single department. I was hold four conversations at once as I listened to the one going on in the TV studio next door to the control room. I was monitoring the CG and calling for it, I was talking the tape operator through a mini-disaster while I was compensating for the disaster. There were tape failures, equipment failures, and just a general lack of training present but with my ragtag crew working with me we put together a damn fine show and I am pretty sure that we are breaking new ground. I'll have to look it up to see what president there is for college students to suddenly take over an actual TV show.
Next week we go for real. The pressure is on because it's now time to put up or shut up.
