Let Hawk Tawk Begin!

Today is the first episode of Season 4 of Hawk Talk with Bill Self, which my son Christopher and I shoot for television at the Salty Iguana in Lawrence, KS. It's a radio show, but it's produced in a restaurant with lots of rooms...so we shoot it with three cameras, send it to all the TVs in the restaurant, and also record it for playback in the other Salty Iguanas in Olathe, KS and Prairie Village, KS. The Salty in Independence, Missouri, for some reason doesn't care about Kansas basketball. Go figure!

It's a great way to keep in touch with my son as he continues his journey to a degree at KU. It's also a great way to keep up my chops in live TV, which is one of my major loves.

Should be a great 18 shows!

Eighty Shots, Three Days

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have an amazing crew of people to work with...Mark, Troy, Roycee, Mel, Glenn, Sara, Amy, Cari, and everybody...when you approach an impossible shot sheet, it's nice to know you've got a lot of people working on it.

I'm exhausted, and there's still more to shoot on Friday, then on December 1st. It's a huge project, and I'm glad for the work.

It's a good kind of tired.

Another great week, part deux

So I know you're probably getting tired of all my positive posts. This week was rough and busy, but still a great week. I love my clients, and I like going the extra mile when they end up really appreciating what I've done for them.

So, another challenging week ahead...shooting a spot and a 15-minute infomercial for my South Africa clients...unfortunately I'm just directing and not appearing on-camera, so it'll be a bit more challenging. But I get to work with my outstanding crew, so it'll be all good.

Have a great week your own self!

Another great week

Well, New Jersey was great, video was well-received.

Now on to this week. Lots of work, which means it's a good week.

And by the way...shouldn't you be working instead of reading this?

Off To New Jersey

Off to New Jersey, on what some say is an impossible mission: shoot an amusing video in less than 36 hours, and be back home again.

I say it can be done.

We'll see. :)
