My primary responsibility as an AP was to head up the logging (transcribing) team. This meant hiring and firing, making sure everyone's transcripts were accurate, formatted properly, and being completed promptly. As the transcriptions wrapped up, however, the next part of my job would begin: Creating vital post documents and story assistance. The post documents included a VO script for the host, a document with timecodes for the lower thirds, and the as-broadcast scripts. Story assistance includes largely filling in where other APs can't. This means doing some stringout work, and a lot of hunting for clips. Thanks to the amount of footage I've seen, my memory, and my ability to search, I was always able to do this quickly and effectively.

I was entrusted to be the first person to work through the story and mine story elements to be used in the show. So besides my primary responsibility of stringouts (upon more and more stringouts), I was tasked with finding clips for frankenbiting, insert shots, and and much, much more.
