TVP107 week 1 term 4

hi - today we did the cooking segment run though exercise first up i was an actor (5TH TIME!!!! GRRR) and then 2nd run though I was FM (YAY!!) normally when im in the afternoon group you can tell a lot of people just want to get out and go to happy hr and the energy is lacking but this time you couldn’t even tell it was arvo - everyone was excited and happy to be back and stuck into it. I think everyone is getting really psyched up about kids show now all the crap of paperwork and segments and inserts and commercials are out of the way mostly. And in the meeting that morning it was good to here that people are really going to try and push this thing hard – who cares if we flop a bit for it at least we will have tried stuff the other years haven’t tried in past years which I recon is really cool. There were a couple of things that people needed to work on - Mim you need a bit more confidence in your abilities you can do it you just need to know you can – if you stuff up you stuff up no massive thing everyone does it occasionally. Nathan YOU ARE A DISOBIDIENT TALANT!! But I love you. Pete and Marcus you both did heaps well at directing from what I could see. WELL DONE BOYS! Jason on 2nd run though even though you didn’t know that Marcus’s head set was turned off you handled it well although you should probably get your assistant to check that next time ( I now you didn’t have an assistant this run though) you still problem solved and handled it well - Lauren you need to be consistent with your time calls to whom ever is FMing you tend to call 2 mins then nothing till 30 seconds – we need a 1 min call ,you also tend to skip 30 seconds and go straight to 20 seconds other then that you did fine you can do the job its just we only have certain times to convey what’s going on to the talent through hand signals there is no 1 min 30 or 20 second hand signal – Steve you should either be applauded or shot for the use of star wipes and the amount you used in the 1st run though – gutsy!
see you next week guys ps cams good job on finally getting home set.
