People often ask me what it is I do on these trips. Even though I feel like I explain it well, sometimes it’s easier to show than tell.<\/p>\n
Here is a video that is very typical of what I usually do on these jobs. It’s one of 6 – 8 videos that I will do before the convention is over.<\/p>\n
Everything in the video was shot just a day, or sometimes hours before I put it together, and then it plays first thing in the morning the next day. It’s the end result of 2 cameramen, 2 producers, 1 associate producer and myself as the editor (I’m the last one in the chain).<\/p>\n
