Almost Home
After a uneventful flight, i’m just a few minutes away from home and couldn’t be more excited. As much as I love taking these trips I always look forward to coming back home too.
Yet Another Snooty Lounge
Once again, Brian the snooty world traveler, was able to get “back of the bus Tom” into a nice lounge. My personal opinion is it’s not as good as the one in Chicago, but who am I to complain. Free food and drinks, and free wireless internet. Our flight leaves in about an hour and there’s not reason […]
Last Day, Last Edit
Today will probably be another long edit day, but it is the last day here so no matter what we’re done after today. I’ve been gone on trips longer then this, but for some reason this one just seems a lot longer. I’m pretty home sick and looking forward to returning to Chicago tomorrow.

Exotic Eats

Jim Lucy, one of the camera operators (based on Chicago) was challenged to eat them while being recorded on video and he was more then happy to.

Another Day, Another Yuan
This is the view from the edit suite where I’m working. The edit suite is just a dedicated hotel room. Today is the first seriously busy day of the job. The show has officially started and the tapes are starting to come in fast. Our job is to take about 6-8 hours of a recorded […]
On the Job
While the first day was a nice reset/sight seeing day, the rest of the week and weekend is all work. I have a small setup this time, but it’s more then enough to get the job done in quick order. I have a separate room that’s being used just for the edit suite.
Up and Down the Wall
Although we could have walked up to the wall, I’m glad we didn’t. It was a pretty long walk, and even once you’re on the wall it’s a lot of walking and at times on very steep angles. So, we took a cable car up on one side, walked a couple of hours to the […]
