Details

I was hired by Acrobat TV to assist at 2wenty’s Naughty Reunion 2011, a 3 day event that included performances from many different famous acts. Nearly all acts were interviewed backstage about their time at the event, as well as attendees during the day. I had various roles, the most prominent being the sound recordist in the PSC (Portable Single Camera) crew, followed by cable bashing (making sure cables were not tripping up acts on stage, and that they were long enough for the operators), vision mixing (3 cameras operational at the time), and camera operation (pit camera, wide shot, and on-stage).

I worked with several different operators and crew members, all of whom were fantastic and helped me get up to speed with different things. I’ll certainly be back next  year if at all possible!
