Episode #4 6/21/2008

The interview with Diamond Wizard was actually my first interview. Let me tell you how I spent my day for a thirty minute television episode. I was nervous the night before and had a hard time falling asleep. I woke up early morning and took one hour to put on make up. Rushing out of the door and hit traffic heading south on highway 101. Can’t afford to loose my hair appointment, I had to call the hair stylist to delay my appointment several times. Finally I made it and there’s only 10 minutes left to get my hair done. Sounds strenuous already. We haven’t even started the real work.

After straitening my hair, I drove to CH Premier to meet up with the production crew. At this point, I was feeling a lot better and we all made it on time.

You may not know that for a 15 minutes segment, it could take us two to three hours to shoot it. To make the visual look interesting for our viewers, the camera person had to shoot from different angles and different distance. At the same time, the crew had to move the lighting equipments around the subjects. For my opening statement, it probably took me five tries until I didn’t forget any lines and look good. I had to say big thanks to my producer and camera person for being patient with me. The good news is I am getting better as we move alone, sometimes one shot is enough for me.
