Airing soon: 3rd CWC Nationals

...and produced by myself! O-kay, it WAS not that difficult... Not as simple as writing's copying+pasting but similar in nature. Of course, of course a little bit of imagination and creativity will surely help... Last month, i went to Camarines Sur to cover the 3rd Philippine Cable Wakeboarding Nationals as a pseudoproducer, because all other actual segment producers of our team were assigned to other shoots. As all features/news coverage goes, it is the (field) producer who does the "on-line/off-line" editing along with the editor so i found myself in front of an avid computer for the past two weeks or so.

To compare, it's just basically putting images together and hope you have one good story told after it's all said and done (the right term is: ... after all is edited and cut and paste and dragged and cut and dragged and inserted and re-inserted and cut and paste...)

i guess i can be called a writer-slash-researcher-slash-producer now. At least for the last couple of weeks or until the next project when i insist that i should be in front of that avid computer again.

The HOTSPOT feature (2-3 minutes sports highlights) airs over Solar Sports on a staggered basis this week. No time has been set yet, hopefully people get to watch it.

Final note: i'd like to emphasize the "not that difficult to be a producer" part... Because Solar has some of the best editors (Of course, i am biased) and they make the job a lot easier for the producers. Ron (del Mundo)--- the nicest editor you'd ever meet (Not too nice though, he hates alcohol these days and that means he chooses not to join the office drinking sprees) guided me through the process and i learned a thing or two about editing and producing. i could sure get used to this, if you know what i mean...

Head-for-content-slash-writer-slash-reasercher-slash... Loving the sound of that.
