I was sick on Tuesday, and couldn't do the show. I was going to be Producer. I realized too late that I should have watched the show online that day.
On Thursday, I was Director for the first time. I had to call the show. Working with the producer to write stories and prepare the show went well. The actual execution of the show was a bit of a mess. I needed more time to prepare since it was my first time directing. I didn't have all my ducks in a row when the show started, but I handled it as well as I could.
My biggest problem was that I was talking to the wrong people part of the time. I had thought talent was on A and the studio was on B. I had it backwards, and I got very confused when the teleprompter couldn't hear me. I had tested the audio ahead of time but I confused myself and did it completely wrong when it was show time. That was all my fault.
Despite the problems, the show came out ok. It was better than I thought it would be. I definitely need a lot more work before I direct anything again.
Next week we plan to do some interviews. Our final will be a 30 minute show. Should be interesting.
