This week, I really started to become very involved in Wellness TV. On Thursday, Dakota, Krissy and I did stand-up reporter shoots for our packaged from 5:30 to 6:15 pm. Dakota and I edited the package from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. To our shock and horror, when we started editing the package we realized that the sound on the stand up shoot did not come through, despite the fact that we had tested the sound. We decided that we had no choice but to switch the reporter to Dakota, and shoot some voice overs right then. We re-shot the anchor stand-ups with Dakota on Friday and then edited the rest of the package. This lasted from 12:00 to 1:30 pm. Shanti led the Wellness TV meeting on Monday because Consuelo is still out. We talked about the current status of the show that was supposed to air on Monday. Unfortunately some people still had not completed their package, and we did not have an anchor shoot as a result. Shanti said that no matter what, we would air the show on Wednesday with or without the missing package. This makes me happy because Dakota and I worked really hard to get our package done on time, and it would be disappointing if it didn't air. We also discussed future packages, and the possibility of creating an executive board instead of just having a producer in case situations where Consuelo is not available arise again. The Wellness TV meeting lasted from 4:30 to 5:05 pm.
I have really, really enjoyed working with Dakota this week. She taught me how to edit video, and "quizzed" me occasionally to make sure I was retaining the information so I would know how to do it myself. Not only is she great to work with, but we have also become really good friends. I definitely want to work with her on packages from now on.
