As a morning production assistant for Valley News Live (KVLY) my responsibilities included floor set up one half hour prior to the start of each show. This involved making sure all camera and microphone equipment was on and operational. During the shows I would manually operate several cameras at a time and direct the guest on the floor according to the director. It was also a requirement to manually operate the teleprompter for the anchors. After each show equipment needed to be returned to it's original positions and set up for the next crew.
