Humber Connected: Nonsense News!
Blog by Mandy!
The crew prepared themselves. Each position was covered, everyone had the material and we were ready to go live. Nonsense News was about to be put on the air. Pooja, our producer, explained to the crew the idea for her nonsense news show. The director, Jeff, follows her by explaining his own directing plan for the day. The crew all laugh and smile at each other. They are all ready for today. The show was a satirical look at the regular news, complete with the host having a total diva meltdown. Ambitious, yes, but with a team like this anything is possible. The director got to run through the show. Watching everyone sink into their positions, and work together to start production on the show was amazing to watch. From the record operator, to the talent, to the audio operator, to the camera people, to the director, every single person was focussed and ready. The rehearsal ran as smooth as a first rehearsal can run. Everyone focussed in on seeing how this script would look in real life, on television. Jeff and Pooja met between rehearsal, softly discussing improvements for the show. By the time the live show came around, they were beyond ready.
