I made, I did it. Today life long aspiration has been archived. It's odd to consider what these things mean to you once you are on the other side of the goal. Today I directed my first television show for broadcast. Watching it will be embarrassing but I hope that will subside with time and as my skills grow I will be able to look back and think of how far I have come since today, and even in the three practices that we have had up to this point.
I am so proud of the team I assembled. I may be directing and making the final calls but I couldn't do it without each of them. My own personal A-Team. They are enough to make me feel superfluous. Equipment failed, cues were missed, we started late, and two guests left before their segments. Somehow it all came together and we even got out on time. Two shows were filmed and we managed to time them both out perfectly to 26 minutes and 25 seconds. It felt like a miracle, but it wasn't a miracle. It was all of the reason that I chose the people I did, proving themselves to me, themselves, Roy our boss, and even Roy's bosses. We have a long way to go, and the show is choppy and could use a certain amount of post-production work, but damn it we did it. I can't believe that we were given the chance, and I can't believe that we did it.
