TELEVISION DIRECTOR


INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORK I DID AT WNVT-53 and WNVC-56





WNVT-53 and WNVC-56 are sister stations for Northern Virginia's Public Television and both stations are located in the same building. WNVT-53 show children's educational programming and college sports. We have raised $125,000 in sports and over $50,000 in educational programs. WNVC-56 is all international programming. We have also raised over $70,000 dollars in international programming.


I did production work for both stations. The crew I worked with is very professional, we had a great teamwork attitude. I mostly directed, but I am also responsible for camera(studio and field), floor directing ,technical directing, audio, tape, and chyron operating. Not only did WNVT/WNVC let me be a versatile director, but versatile in different production positions. I feel that my Production Manager had a lot of faith in me, because within two months of employment he gave me a live show to direct. The following two programs were quite challenging for me.


Hablemos De Salud-This program is a live call-in medical show with two hosts. There are tape packages, and full page graphics that need to be seen on cue. The talent speaks in Spanish, which I don't understand, but when I direct I read body language and inflections in the voices of the talents. Sometimes there is an Assistant Director that translates for me.


Michael Lui Live-This show an hour long live call-in program with a host and up to three guests. Sounds simple doesn't it? But the talent speaks in Chinese, and I don't understand a word of it either!!


These are the shows I currently direct and have directed.
**90% of the shows listed are/were live**
