Yesterday I shot for my very first Television interview!! Wow never though I would be saying that sentence!! But I did and it was such a thrilling experience. The lights, the cameras (yes they used two), the makeup, everything was so exciting.
I was waiting for the crew to arrive, as they had planned the interview in my studio, (I work out of my home studio), silly old me was expecting two maybe three people, one person holding the mike and one to run the camera, and one to tell us all what to do,..., well it wasn't so!!
There were about fifteen people, yes that is how many , with tons of equipment, lights, cameras, tripods and a whole bunch of snaking wires running all over my studio. After the initial setup of the equipment, both mine and the television crew's the director the episode, began by asking me to walk him through the demonstration and how he intended to shoot the process.
Before I knew it , the whole process had started, the anchor started by asking a few questions about my art background, and the kind of work I did. Then I explained the materials, the metal , the colours, brushes etc, that I normally use.
Then we started with the demonstration and soon, I was demonstrating the piece being fired.(did not actually fire the piece, because as per the camera man, the red hot enameled piece would come out looking black.
Once the demonstration was finished, they shot some of my art work, my published work and they were out like a hurricane!! What a whirlwind affair.
As the interview is yet to air, I will be posting once again with regards to the reactions I received.
