Media ball-drop

Odd title, seeing I disparage sports analogies.

But I dropped the ball.

Given our collective Covid19 panic (and how the media loves a good panic), our church is compiling video services. Not streamed, which I would prefer, I think, but compiled.

I was scheduled to do Bible readings tomorrow: John 19:5-6 and Hebrews 2:6-9.

But I wasn't given a deadline, so toddling around this morning, doing test shoots...got it all right: sound, lighting, setting, framing, checked the production workflow (editing, etc).



Then the local Foley guy started a chain saw effect...using a chain saw. Rang the producer (one of our paid Christians) to check the deadline. I was too late!

He apologized for not giving me a deadline, but heck. I've worked in media; it was ME! I should have asked for a deadline.

Another sporting analogy: now I'm kicking myself.
