2008 Greater Toronto Regional!

On Thursday I shot the video for Global local and national (5:30 and 6pm shows) and for the Weather network in which I played a weather angle as Teams 1312 and 781 had to deal with closed roads due to heavy snow and high winds. On Friday I got a little vo-clip on weather network with team 1006 from Port perry as they are promoting Earth hour and Today Saturday I got alot of stuff (interview clips) on the weather network by playing the earth hour angle and as luck would have it Canadian astronaught walked by as I was doing a clip with a member of Team 188 on earth hour and saving the planet so I got an exclusive clip with him.

On Friday I know CTV/CFTO news did a full story as I saw thier camera/reporter there and like you said CBC was there.

Only ones that didn't show up were CITY TV. I must say it is nearly impossible to get some media outlets to show up at certain events, it all depends on who is working as the assignment desk and who is producing and I could go on and on but I would break every rule so I won't. I work in news just as a camera operator and believe me it is a tough sell to get anything positive on on the air these days, nearly impossible actually and even harder to get today's breed of reporters to understand anything.....

Was a good three days.......got me out of doing real work for three days anyways which is usually the crime beat.

I saved most of the B-roll that I shot on all three days but it is broadcast grade video and that means large files so I will try and upload it to yousendit.com and then post the links in here once it's all done, probably will take me 2-3 days to actually upload the files to yousendit.com though.

I dont have specific matches, just lots of B-roll of all the various things that were going on at the GTR.....I don't edit so it's all raw video.

was fun!
