The Saturday 10 p.m. newscast was the first show I produced and it was AWESOME! My first instict was to go CrAzY with all of our new toys, however our director pointed something out to me: everything is new... even our 2-shots because EVERYTHING is new.
The biggest changes I made when the show aired was doing solo teases at the monitors. It was a little different, but we finally had a great place to do those. I had a couple of other places where the anchors were going to move around, but breaking news caused me to move the stories in each block around, and while I didn't get to use the "new stuff", my a-block was more newsy... excellent story flow with Hwy 63 accidents.
I can't wait to continue working on this set -- particularly in the morning. There are so many options for some cool news setups. I'm thinking live shots in monitors behind the reporters, wx chat at our new wx peanut... the possibilities are endless! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait for my morning shows in the summer. Megan and Lauren are going to get a workout. I'm going to have them move everywhere. Hopefully our directors won't want to kill me.
