Media Daze
Hi gang:
So earlier this week Michael Ainsworth and I spent three fairly long shifts covering the ins and outs of the Big 12 Media Days conference in Irving. Basically, it’s three days of interviews — print, radio, TV, and everything in between. We took turns shooting stills and video. Michael took the brunt of the video work and shot two days; I only covered Tuesday.
Interesting work, actually. I thought it was going to be pretty boring — and it totally was — so I just tried to keep busy and make any frames I could think of. Access, for the most part, was surprisingly good. As long as I acted like I knew what I was doing, I was able to wander into a lot of rooms I probably wasn’t supposed to be in. Sometimes it’s good to play dumb.
We’re in the process of changing our content management system for videos at the DMN, so unfortunately the video link is down … because I know how excited you were to watch three boring interviews pieced together with some random cutaways. But, some selected stills are below.
Cheers!
