Great advice, that’s honestly why I love live, because if you screw up it’s in the past, we’re on to the next one. A lot of what I do is either sports or bands, so it’s very, very chaotic. Shots can’t really be planned, so you have to be quick and just send it and hope for the best.
Oh man sports is such a rush! My favorite event I ever did was the Fortnite world Championships finals. 100 players on stage fighting each other. We had 4 Steadicams on stage (plus 2 jibs and a bunch of peds and hh) total we had around 800 inputs on the switcher (100 players= 100 screen capture, 100 webcam pov, 100 stats graph, they also had dozens of god mode cameras flying in the virtual world, AR/VR green screens on one of the jibs, … it was madness!!). The goal was to get a OTS shot of the winner while he fires the last bullet and the winner signs shows up. It was such a rush!
