Ladue View

My 60 second video was picked and I believe it was because I really wanted to think outside of the box and be really original and I think that concept shined in the final video. I learned a lot while being the anchor, especially how many people it takes to create something like Ladue view. It's easy to get wrapped up in the people in front of the camera but with everyone else the show wouldn't exist or at least be good. I also learned how much fine tuning it takes to get a good take for the final cut. One thing I learned overall is the amount of expertise that goes into some jobs is incredible. For example I can't imagine being the director and learning to adapt to what is going on while offering up good advice. A challenge we faced as a team was the issue of the video buffering while we were recording this was solved by having us record the segments and edit them later. A personal challenge I faced was keeping energy up. It's easy to get into a pattern of reading the teleprompter like a robot and zone out but once you keep the energy up it adds so much to the show. The part of my job in which I believe I was most successful was my line delivery and energy. It was difficult at first but I believe I ended up doing a pretty good job. My favorite part of recording the show was the energy on set and being able to have fun while creating something super cool that's not an opportunity you get in most classes and it was a super cool experience. While I would love to give the anchor another crack I would also like to try stuff like the script writing and running AJA. I think a great way to get the show out to more people is to put a short up in the halls on the TVs around school. This can build interest and allow students to know about it if they didn't previously. I wanted to say that working on the Ladue view has been one of the most if not the most unique class experiences I've ever had and it has been amazing to see how much we are able to accomplish despite being students.
