Re: TV...

While the format is forced, there's nothing "scripted" about our work. You show up, you get the tour and the safety lecture, they put you in the green room (plywood box) while they dress the set, then you're escorted out, given your instructions, and the clock starts. It does not stop. They don't tell you how to work, or what to say... they pretty much shoot what they get.

So my mantra was... Don't do anything stupid, don't say anything stupid, and try to show good work. Shout-out's to the right people when I could.

Never knew what anyone else was doing, with the ticking clock, you get incredible tunnel vision and only focus on what's in front of you. They who makes the least number of mistakes typically wins, style and weight choices count for something apparently.

I had fun.

My biggest goal was to answer this question: When put up against people who have to eat off this craft, can I, a guy who does it on weekends when I feel like it, be competitive? Do I really know my ####?

Answer was "yes." That's all I needed. The rest is just fun storytelling.
