Austen and I had to re-shoot the first installment of Mocs Talk News last night. The tape that we filmed on on the previous day had a glitch in it. We spent a long time in the studio trying to troubleshoot but we couldn't get the audio to work. While I was in there, I got to see how the equipment all connects and also what happens when one thing doesn't connect. It was frustrating because I do enjoy troubleshooting technical issues but this was one that I just could not fix. I also got the experience of running the studio without help! Austen anchored so he couldn't do any of the tech work so I set up the camera (white balanced, focused, framed the shot) then ran the teleprompter while Austen read the script. It was a really good day of practicing but it would've been better if we got it to work!
This morning, we attempted to shoot it again but didn't have a teleprompter. We ended up using a makeshift one by holding my laptop over the camera and scrolling down the script that the anchor had to read. We finally got a good take and we are done with the first news show!
Time shooting Tuesday: 1.5 hours
Time shooting Wednesday: 1 hour
Total Hours: 11.5 hours
