On Tuesday, i took a trip to the Riverside Studios in London to watch the recording of Russel Howards Good News, besides it being hilarious it was a good insight into the filming of a tv programme. There were 5 cameras for just one man which seemed like a lot, but i suppose is normal. It was interesting to watch the screens hanging from the ceiling as they were showing which shots the vision mixer was putting up. Also there was a minor technical fault when one of the VT's didn't play properly.
At the end of the show Russel had to do pick ups of what he had either done wrong or that needed to be amended, which he seemed fairly annoyed with because there was a lot of them, one of which had been dropped from the show in the first place.
sounds like a good day, how did you manage to get this opportunity?? would be interested to know, cheers...
