Directors Track Behind The Scenes Of The News

[HanakoFairhall]

It's funny stuff, though I wonder if the way the director talks can cross over into harassment? o_o

[WhelenVTXR2]

Where the hell are you? Where the hell is three? Goddammit. Ready thr-FUCK. Fade to black.

Hold the fuck still.

[PhilMan138]

PAN THE GOD DANG CAMERA LEFT

[gungaldin]

We have open IFB to the talent. I still don't know how they cope and keep a straight face with all the going ons in the control room.

[MrHendu214]

"Two get outta three's way...where the hell is three?"

This is funnier than most sitcoms today!

[backinthecrystal]

No, your other left!

[wx4newengland]

[tampabaynews]

"Hold the fuck still."

[africkinamerican]

Are anchors hearing all this chatter? Or only when specifically patched to them?

[njn3]

@africkinamerican

when specifically patched to them... or that's the way it should be...

sometimes the key is left open... it can be very distracting to hear all of that!!

[FilmmakerRicky]

@africkinamerican No, anchors are usually patched to program and producers. Directors are fed to crew (camera, control room, etc.) No one would anchor if they heard half the stuff that goes on in control on a regular basis.

[africkinamerican]

:37 they were doing digital editing back then?

[RSBSTEADICAM]

Hey, you get what you pay for. Pay nothing... get nothing it's as simple as that. Me I have to earn a living and working for less than wages paid in 1982 isn't my idea of the advance of the form. Cheaper equipment shouldn't mean lower wages. Of course this says nothing about the phase of an Air check!

[Defenseman619]

San Diego

[MINISTORM47]

Fuck...Take Black.....

[PeregrineC]

LOL! Sounds like my studio booth most nights!

[niemo810]

[Defenseman619]

what's classic is, nothing has changed, our newsroom sounds identical. New technology, new problems, same half-awake crew.

[juliomario14]

You are 100% correct lol

[fafinaf]

@Defenseman619 where do you work?

[eekoutasignal]

Thank God none of my directors tracks from college were recorded. Think I broke down in tears at one point.

[deadliveagain]

[firealarm211]

lol, one time on CNN, someone cued the directors mic by mistake, and this stuff was heard nationally :P

[wuzzlevideos]

@firealarm211 I would have thought that wasn't fadeable on the desk.

[FGIVideoProductions]

"Hold The Fuck Still!" LOL!

[hkfreak]
