TELEVISION DIRECTOR


THE WORK I DO AS A FREELANCER







I enjoy freelancing very much, because it makes me a versatile in directing and other production positions. I also get to meet a lot of new and interesting people.


At the station that I used to I work for, (WNVT-53 and WNVC-56) I direct shows with multiple sets, cameras, talent, deck playbacks, etc. This sounds challenging, but I work with a regular crew(which is very talented) and we are already in sync because we always work together.


When I freelance though, I work with new crew members who probably have not worked with each other, or myself, before. On top of that, none of us have worked with the producers before. But in the end, when the show is complete, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and I also make new friends.


When I freelance, it also makes me a versatile in production. In any given week I might direct a basketball game for 53/56; then go to George Washington University and run audio or camera for a live uplink; then over to Keystone Communications and direct an interview that is going up on satellite across the nation; and finally, go back to 53/56 and direct a medical show in Spanish (and I don't understand Spanish!!) I am constantly working with different equipment, people, and production positions. I am always looking for freelance work to keep my skills current.

**Globecast Communications (Keystone Communications) Globecast is primarily a satellite uplink and downlink company, but they also have a studio. The studio is very small, but so far all of the events I have done have been live uplinks across the U.S. The staff and freelancers are very friendly and work great together. I have directed town meetings and some segments of "The Charlie Rose" show. I also directed a small segment for ECHO Television, the largest television organization in Mexico. The segment was difficult because the talent spoke in Spanish. I have also ran camera, floor directed, technical directed, and lighting for a variety of events.


**Christopher Royce and Friends This show is produced in Reston, VA. where I live. The show is seen nationally on The Kaleidoscope Network. Christopher Royce(the host), interviews some of the top medical people in the Washington Area about Holistic Science and Self-Improvement.


**Law Weekly The producer of this show has the same attitude I do: make each show look better than the last one. The show is seen live in Fairfax County (about one million people) on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. The host discusses various legal issues with judges, U.S. prosecutors, and various lawyers. The show is taped and re-aired in Washington D.C. and Montgomery County,MD.


**Maslow Media Group This company is like a temp agency, strictly for the media. I've worked for The National Institute of Health (NIH), but most of the work I have done has been for The George Washington University(GWU). I do camera and audio for live and taped productions. Most of the productions I have worked on have aired nationally. I enjoyed working for GWU because the crew is very professional and friendly. There have been a couple of times when a director specifically requested me because they liked my camera work.
