This week is one of crazy work hours, blame it on the upcoming election (two days and counting) and a home playoff game for our football team (the first in 19 years!) and well that adds up to a whole lot of television coverage!
That's some exciting TV and not only do I get to see it first hand I get to have a role in making it happen as well.
Even though we were just going through the motions and doing a brief rehearsal this evening, it was definitely exciting to see how it's all going to unfold. Yep I'm a bit of a nerd as I sat in the control room with my multiple feeds and listening to the director call the shots from the truck. I LOVE IT! The only thing that would be better is if I got to operate the jib (but I seriously don't have the hand-eye co-ordination to make that happen....especially not after I was messing around for the debate and then felt a little motion-sick thereafter!).
Tomorrow night is going to be a little more of the same, only adding in the hits from our remote locations and then we'll do one more practice Wednesday afternoon before we hit the air for the "Big Shoe" which will actually be carried coast to coast on the network!
Sometimes I really love my job!
