First Week at the Media Center

My first week at the media center was very colorful.  And I'm not saying that because it's a very mixed and interesting environment, I'm saying it because the walls are screaming at me. In a good way.

Seriously, I don't know how many buckets of paint were used, but the interior of the building is very sharp.  I like the modern vibe.

In other, more relevant news, I've had a pretty fun first week.  I thought I knew a tiny bit about broadcasting before, but now I realize I know a fair amount.  I mean, yes the equipment we have here is ridiculous, but I pretty much know how it all works.

Though that didn't stop me from being unbelievably intimidated by the control room.  I mean, back at Gunn we had an audio board the size of a keyboard, a switcher the size of our audio board, and a monitor that we never really turned on.

Here we have like... a lot.  It's crazy.

But staring in awe at all the nifty technology is not all I've been doing this week.  I also helped create a studio show (The Platinum Spatula), edited highlights of another show (The Stephanie Herman Show (it was such fun)), and stared in awe of all the nifty set stuff we have (seriously, two hand chairs?  Oh, and the giant green screen is cool too...).

Suffice to say it's been a really cool experience.  And while i might be a little stressed right now since I'm producing a show that we're filming tomorrow... I'm still having a great time.

(I always like to end things with corny sentiments)  

Anywho, I suppose that's all I have to say right now.

I'll be back in week.
