During pre-production, I worked with all on-camera talent, along with a video technology company, to test internet stability and image quality of contributors prior to our scheduled shoot, and coordinated the acquisition of all necessary filming and internet equipment for each person involved. I organized and held shoot rehearsals, collaborated with the production team on the shooting schedules, and obtained and tracked all required releases and documentation from on-camera talent. During production, I kept the schedule on track, worked with the video technology company to troubleshoot any image and internet connectivity issues, remotely operated teleprompter for the show’s host and directed her during her direct-to-camera reads.
