Recent Headlines: Producing from the lA bureau at CBS News national
For these pieces I acted as the catching producer working in the LA Bureau for our weekend evening news program.
Meaning, I coordinated with our NY teams and our field teams to ensure we had the best location for the live shot, I booked and conducted interviews for the breaking news stories, scripted with our correspondents and senior producers, gathered/purchased videos from social media and stringers, coordinated with our media manager to ensure our editor had all the materials and vocal tracks to cut the video and I sat in the edit room with the editor and told them which video to use and where, all with an extremely tight deadline looming.
Recent Headlines: Producing from the Field
Our recent stories on the Utah fires expanded from our weekend shows, into our weekday programming. So, I got on the first available plane to Salt Lake City for a Morning Live shot with Jonah Kaplan and then after that, we headed Eureka, UT.
From there I coordinated an interview with the Firefighter’s PIO, as well as with a resident named Terri Underwood whose home was threatened twice by two seperate wildfires. She told us how her husband, who is a volunteer firefighter and his team helped save her and her daughters home. I then worked with our photographer and correspondent find the best live shot location then we collaborated on writing and blocking our live shot intro and tag.
I was the solo producer/shooter for this story, so I captured the video from inside and around the horse stables at this Colorado Prison. I chose the interview locations, used 3 cameras for the interviews for our subjects and our correspondent, Katie Weiss. I also conducted some of the interviews that led to our subjects explaining their tools, duties and how dealing with horses is a lot like dealing with the outside world. I shot all of the b-roll and stand up. I was also alone without a correspondent finding and interviewing the adoption event attendees at the end of the piece, so all of that video and sound was also gathered by me.BLM ending its wild horse program at Colorado Prison
