  • Meeting with My Editor

    I took notes on a napkin, I often do.

  • Me Tonight

  • 2:20 Hours of Content

    That’s my “total length of videos online”, added thanks to Lucian.  

    Here’s what I look like in Adobe Premiere:

    Ugh, we do not match.  

    Here’s what my laugh looks like in Final Cut.

  • January 25 – “Live at 5”

    Learning about accreditation today.  Which turns out is a way bigger deal than you realize.

    I received my official “you’re accredited” letter over the weekend, which means I’ll get a press pass and be granted access to some places.  

    Not all places though, that’s for journalists from the big guys (CTV / NBC) which makes sense – they paid the most for the rights to broadcast so they should get the best access. There’s 3 levels of journalists at the Olympics and now I’m in the 2nd tier.

    Here’s the BC Media Centre; I’m probably going to hang out there a LOT.  They let you have as much internet as you want.

    Thanks for watching, TTYT! 

  • Cleaning Off My Camera

    My trick to remembering where I parked:

    On the left when I found it made me miss my ponytail.  On the right is what I’ll change my profile pic to.  

    Fred shirts for sale at… Walmart.  Am I the only one that finds that odd?  

    That’s a studio milestone… odometre is in miles, eh.

    Making a new footer and directory for a new year, kinda a big deal.  That list of file names is an example of my personal nomenclature, ha.  

    The bottom photo is what’s gonna be the toughest thing about a video/day… rendering and uploading time.
