Huntress Awards

Your bonus post tonight is all about the other job that I ended up doing yesterday for Blue Tuna. I was in London already for the Creator gig, so I got in on the Huntress Awards Ceremony job.

We were hired by an events organiser to shoot the Awards ceremony for internal use within the company. It was also a live internal broadcast; the vision mixer drawing our camera feeds up onto larger screens so that people in the hall could see everything that was going on. This meant that my camera work needed to be spot on straight away as there wouldn’t be any editing trickery to salvage it.

My job was toman the stationary camera, I prefer to dothe more creative work, but I respect the fact that I’ve still got a lot to prove before I get the chance to do those sort of jobs on these sort of high-pressure gigs. Saying that thogh, the fact I was taken along at all is promising news.

The Huntress job was much shorter than the Creator one, but I still managed to learn something from it. Again, we had to work with a group of people we’d never met before from different disciplines. The fact that we were wrkingon a live internal broadcast was also a shock to the senses and meant I couldn’t afford to mess up. So…I didn’t.
