Today was the big day. After a year of orchestration, the BIG BOARD promo shoot finally came true. I arrived on set ready to film some behind the scenes footage which will debut on the 6ABC website after the actual promo airs on channel 6. I will film, log, edit and produce everything from choosing music to deciding which moments are most entertaining from todays shoot.
News personalities Nydia Han, Melissa Magee, Karen Rogers, Cecily Tynan, Matt O'Donnell, Alicia Vitarelli and Adam Joseph were all in good spirits and ready to film. Throughout the day, it was my job to catch the talent during brief moments of off time and get them to interact with the camera. In a way, it helped make the day last a bit more fun and lively. The commercial process is very tedious! Patience is definitely required.
After the long process of rehearsing and filming to perfection, I sat down and had lunch with Meteorologist Melissa Magee who was kind enough to snap this photo with me. As a young broadcaster herself, she shared a lot of advise with me about finding a job and discovering your niche/ultimate passion in the journalistic world. Starting out in a small market in Nebraska, Melissa became interested in meteorology after she discovered 'News' wasn't for her. It was like having lunch with a celeb!
Here's meteorologist Cecily Tynan and Special Reports reporter Nydia Han shooting a spot in front of the Big Board.
After shooting an hour and half worth of footage over a six hour time frame, I managed to get some really funny behind the scenes footage of the shoot.
Can't wait to put it all together and begin to edit on Monday!
