I trained a team of 7 new students to wrap cables, successfully manage audio and graphics, prepare commercial breaks and legal IDs, and overall work towards the success of a live morning talk show. My duties as BP included taking us on air, coordinating with the Director and Show-Runner to ensure their visions succeed, and writing reports after every show on any correctable or unairable mistakes that occurred while live.

Assisted most closely Ellen Dorros, Production Designer, with buying and renting set dressing from Warner Bros., dressing sets in advance, on-set dressing, monitoring liquid and food levels for shot consistency, and returning materials to respective prop houses. Additional assignments as needed.

As Van Commander I have trained to drive the large vehicle and operate the robotic camera switchboard that controls the five exterior cameras mounted to the van. I also operate the shot switchboard, audio hardware, and recording gear, and polish the segments shot live to tape in the Trojan Vision station's editing lab. In addition to operate, I produce each show filmed by the van. I scout locations, schedule guests or bands to play, and ensure all shoots have appropriate permits and additional equipment to accommodate the varying shows.

In charge of ensuring a smooth shoot, organizing company moves, communicating with 1st AD on time constraints, and coordinating meal orders and pickups.

I assisted in ripping up and scattering newspapers, greeking beer bottles, running the smoke machine, moving furniture, and general set dressing tasks as necessary.
