So, we got home from Mtn Rockfest a couple of hours ago. I have to say it was an absolute blast. I go to engineer, direct, and be a camera op. I learned way more this week than any class could teach. We watched the Def Leppard show since they have their own crew, and we quickly came to the consensus that our crew could of done a much better show. I talked with the engineer and director of the Def Leppard crew, and they were really nice, but their camera work, directing, and engineering was nothing special. This put in perspective how the "trial by fire" teaching technique is very effective. When you are put in situations like running camera with no iris or tally lamp, or when you have to put together a video system for the first time, you become a better crew member and in this case maybe better than the crew for Sunday's headliner.
CMA Fest aired tonight on ABC and it looked awesome. I tried to remember who I ran camera for, and don't think they used any of my shots but I was in the corner running camera a couple of times. I am saw our FOH cameras on the LED walls in most of the shots they used which was pretty cool.
