On Saturday Feb 10th, I Shadowed an Elvis (instant replay) Operator at the Utah Jazz game at the Energy Solutions arena (used to be the delta center) I have always wanted to watch from behind the scenes, and I finally got my chance. It was an eye-opening experience. My head was spinning with all of the information I was trying to absorb. It was quite a trip. I don't think I will ever be able to watch a Jazz came the same way ever again. It was amazing to watch the Director, Travis Henderson. He was cool under fire and has such passion for the game. Even with everything that was going on, he still had time to say "Wow!" or "Oh Man!" when Memo hit a big shot or someone had a hard foul. If I can be half that good in my career, I will be happy. It was kind of depressing to come back to my control room with my 3 interns and see just how much I still have to learn. I hope to go back soon and learn more about Directing live television.
