Today's broadcast went well. I had the videos I needed early and was prepared for my job as Video Playback when we went on air. I made one mistake and played a video not at its beginning.
We were supposed to have somebody from Broadcast Journalism come to do a liveshot with us, but they didn't show up.
We had too many stories and had to end early. I still think the show went smoothly and sounded natural.
One CG was misspelled and we had to cut it.
There's still room for improvement but I think today's broadcast was good.

ONB 3-25-2014
Today was the third livestream of Ozarks News Brief.
The show was a bit of a disaster.
The producer didn't seem to be in charge. There were problems with scripts and videos not being ready.
I was video playback for the first time. This was just my second time in the control room. It is very hectic in there but I think I prefer it to being in the studio.
The AP was new this time. He struggled to download and edit the videos. We almost had to cut the videos out of the broadcast. I know if I had had more time to prepare, I could have done a better job at video playback.
As I understand it, there were also issues with the CGs not being ready.
This certainly felt like our worst show yet. Mr. Horton said it was good enough to archive. I'll have to see it to believe it.

Second Livestream
Today's broadcast went well.
We didn't have time to watch the show afterwards, unfortunately.
As I understand it, there were some minor mess ups with the TD and somebody spelled "cocaine" incorrectly for our CGs.
The show also ran short again. Robert produced for the first time and he did well for being thrown into the deep end.
Colin Powell is speaking in Springfield tonight. We covered that. Maybe we'll have some footage of it to air next week.
I ran cameras once again. I had plenty of time to write my stories and get everything set up well. Everything in the studio went quite well.
Mr. Horton plans to give some us who have been in the studio a lot a chance to work in the control room. Looking forward to that!

Ozarks News Brief - First Live Show
Today we produced our first live show.
After weeks of practice, we have improved a lot. This was easily our best show yet. It felt good to be making progress.
Unfortunately, our live-stream did not have audio for our anchor, Jamal. We were also short on stories so Jamal had to stall for about one minute at the end of the show.
I was camera operator. Writing my stories went well under our producer, Ray. I had plenty of time to get the cameras perfect.
I did not receive the command to push camera two so I had to improvise.
All in all, this was a good start to our live-streaming of Ozarks News Brief.
