lights camera action

Have had the pleasure of being involved with production of graduation ceremony - doing followspot, camera and vision mixing.

Which is friggin' cool because of the practice and the exposure and the general awesome-ness of it all. The cameras are controlled from the control room of the TCC, and one person does it all - VT, VM, camera, screen.. everything. You need tentacles.

I had the chance to mix the modern dance performance twice, and I've definitely learnt more in these 3 days than I have in the last term in MediaBiz.

I've also probably eaten more; there's been food after every single grad show, and it's decent food too.

I'm watching the World Cup and I really really want to be VM/director for something like that. I am even willing to be CG clicker and typer. It'll be awesome exciting stress! ;D Excellent shit. I will have instantaneous orgasms when I see the immense scale and number of cameras. W00t!
