Once
I realized that in order to get a BA in Architecture, I had to take
math classes (and hard ones too, like Calculus and Trig!) I thought,
"What degree could I get without taking any math classes?" "Hmm, I've
always liked music and tv, maybe I'll get my degree in broadcasting."
Well,
12 years later, here I sit in a dark, cold room in front of a computer
(my non-tv friends are impressed with my dual monitor, "Hey! The cursor
moves from screen to screen!") moving graphic representations of real
video around in my timeline. I can't even enjoy tv or movies anymore
because I'm always trying to figure out how they did that.
Boy, I love my job.
Really,
I do. I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I recently got back
into post-production after six years of live production (I was a
Director/TD at a major cable network) and I absolutely love being able
to tweak things until they are just right or the deadline comes,
whichever is first.
I
am the Senior Promotions Producer at a CBS affiliate in South Carolina,
married to a beautiful and intelligent woman, with two beautiful and
intelligent daughters. My life is good. And it's only going to get
better.
