NAZ Today – Director’s Cut 5-2-11
It was truly a blessing to have my last night directing for NAZ Today go smoothly. The show looked pretty good, the content was interesting, and there were no problems during live production. I'd say that this is actually one of the best shows this semester in terms of production quality. Some trivia: Over the last three years, I've estimated that I've directed over 100 episodes of NAZ Today. That's over 48 hours of time in the director's chair, and that doesn't include the other shows on which I've helped with production. Neat!

There were some interesting camera movements necessary to pull off this particular show. Fortunately, my floor director and camera ops were able to move quickly and get the shots we needed. Getting the end-of-show smooth, though, is always so difficult!

This show went particularly well, with nice, fast transitions and good timing. (We were on time for pretty much the entire show.) The quick out was caused by anchors over-bantering.
One problem I have with the program right now is the mismatch of graphics. There's still no central visual theme. Each segment bump looks different from one another and the graphics barely match those bumps. Also, the weather graphics headers haven't been updated since spring of last year. This is despite my attempt at creating a unified graphics theme.
