There were at least two ops working the pre-show (one outside on the red carpet with Tim Gunn, and one in the green room. I believe John Perry is working some part of the broadcast.

 

Anybody have a roll-call of ops and where they worked?

 

Ted Ashton was another op on the show.

Roll-call:

Hector and Eastwood were main show, Rob was pre-show green room, I was at the entrance and then on stage left (camera right), and Tore was in the rotunda entrance.

How come they didn't have transmitters!?!

 

Exactly my reaction. Cabled on a show like this is just crazy.

 

 

Actually there was no reason to go wireless. We had 7 handhelds and 2 steadis. The utility guys do a hell of a job keeping cable management under control. If you haven't worked with professional utility guys then you probably just don't get it. These guys are our right hands and we work as a team. The way the stage was set up just didn't warrant the cost of wireless, not to mention the antennae sticking up issues. I hate to throw the old fellow under the bus, but getting caught in that cross shot was a mental error. We went to a clip right after that and he had plenty of time to repo to the floor then. Had nothing to do with being wired. I would suggest fatigue came into play. By the time we do the show, everyone is exhausted. Rehearsals start on Wed. We get out Sat night around 11p after a full day of rehearsing followed by a full Dress. Come in day of show on little sleep and do another full run through. THAT is the crazy part. For the most part the show is choreographed chaos. We have it worked out right up until the winner stands up. If they walk straight up everything is cool. It's the multiple winner times when we generally get caught on camera.

Just 2 cents worth from someone that was there.
