I was in charge of casting, crewing, locations and was the go between the EP and the Lighting, Art and Camera teams for over 25 infomercials and related projects since 2005.

I called out the elements and upcoming scenes to the TD via the run down. Basically, it was like a newscast, I've done this type of work for several live productions including the X-Factor Pre-Show, League of Legends and the AOPA (aviation) convention.

I was responsible for all the cues/elements during the live Pepsi pre-show (web only) prior to live weekly "X-Factor" on Fox. During the live show, I called out the elements for the dual-TV experience with the APP and the Smart TV, basically a modern version of "Pop Up Video"

I was the AD for the League of Legends Championships (at LA LIVE & the Gallen Center at USC) for the live webcast that went to millions globally. I was responsible for all the elements during the introductions (audio/graphic cues) and followed the play for tinstant replays and hi-lights.

I was responsible for all the elements of the shows including audio and special effect cues. I worked closely with the director and EP to maintain a safe and secure set. Plus, the typical wrangling and "putting out fires."

I was responsible for running the stage and keep the show on time. I worked closely with the talent as well as the PM to ensure a smooth production. It was a 5 camera shoot and it was shot live to tape.

With the EP, we put together 2 seasons (13 episodes) of Billiards mixed with reality TV. The result was mixed. The first season the rating were great and not so much the next one when billiards was pitted against College Football and MLB pennant races.
