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.

After recording director's cuts for most of the fall 2009 semester, I felt I had plenty of examples of my ability to direct, so I didn't record any during spring. This fall, I decided to make a few more cuts, and overall, I'm very happy with the directing I've been doing. I've learned to pay close attention to all sources while reading the script and make quick calls on instinct. For this director's cut, I've included a copy of the script that I direct off of, as it's marked. This show was particularly interesting because it was NAZ Today's first live shot in a long time (possibly over a year) and I had to make a couple of changes to the show after we went on air at 6.

NAZ Today – Director’s Cut 12-2-09

Preface: A director’s cut for NAZ Today is a recording of an entire show with the director’s headset chatter audible. Recorded December 2, 2009. Left: Headset audio.Right: Program audio. Pre-roll included: Bars and tone, black. TRT: 31:35

Notes for this show: The second half of this show (C-E blocks) were directed by Haley Quiner, currently in training for next semester. We had a major issue with pre-production when someone not affiliated with our program gained access to our editing system and moved some files around with less than a half hour before show, effectively cutting 5-6 videos including the opening billboards. Everything still came out well considering.

Note: During this particular show, I was highly stressed after taking care of late pre-production, and it reflected during A block.
