Last night was a BLAST! I must say, it’s REALLY a strange feeling to be the one asking the questions. I’m not used to having a camera looking over my back.

We went to The Gig on Melrose to interview Lee Nestor. She’s a great artist and sang with a little soul mixed with pop. We managed to get some questions before and after the show as well as some shots inside the club as she was performing. I saw little clips from the interview with her and she looked great on camera….once it’s all edited, I have a feeling it’s going to be a GREAT little segment!

The Lee Nestor interview wasn’t scripted…I was totally winging it. And so there were more than a few occasions where I stumbled over my own words but after watching most of what was taped I realized it wasn’t as much as I thought. (I was being overly critical) In fact, we got some really great stuff.

I learned quite a bit last night as well…little things that are hard to explain but one example is to remember the questions I ask. [This is for getting a different angle of me asking the questions..etc.] Future interviews will be scripted..or at least a basic set of questions. If we had a production assistant there to write down the questions I asked Lee, it would have been a huge help. Any hoot, these are just some of the things I learned last night. Much of this is stuff that takes a little bit of time to learn..and learn by doing it and seeing what I feel are “flubs”…Without going into too much of the negatives…I’ll say that the biggest thing I need to work on is annunciation and controlling the speed of the questions.

Back to the good stuff…I REALLY loved doing this. I was on a little bit of a high last night after. And Lee was great on camera. Of course I realize not everyone is going to have the energy that Lee gave. I’ll be sure to link to the Lee Segment when the editing is done.

Oh…and after seeing some of the clips from last night I realized I was saying Lee’s last night wrong half of the time! (Sorry Lee, we’ll make sure that’s edited correctly I was saying “Nest’er” instead of “NestOR”…today, thinking back on it, I should have thought [and not that Lee is evil of course]“Lex Luthor”–that would have helped me out.

We’re still ways away from having a complete pilot but we are one step closer.
