On January 21st at 1:00pm during the Women’s basket ball and Men’s basketball game at 7:00pm, Jeffrey Taylor finally assigned me to use one of the video cameras near the floor for the second half of the games. I was moving the camera left, right, and up to follow whoever had the ball and that tried to shoot it int the basket. I had to aim the camera at the referee that blow his or her whistle for making a call. I had to point the camera at the opposite team that made shots in the basket because they were coming towards me from a distance. Whenever the players were going to make a foul shot I had to immediately move over to the one that was about to shoot the ball, but I had to keep him or her in a complete whole frame before the red light came on. Also, whenever the players moved away from me I had to zoom in a little to get the other basketball court farther away while keeping the scoreboard in the same frame. Even though I did a good job at using the camera instead of always watching someone else perform it, I wished that I could have used the camera for both half times instead of waiting until the second half for my turn because I would have been more use to using it than right now.

That’s great experience, Andrew! Don’t worry about it only being one half. I am sure you will have other chances throughout the season. Did members of the crew have any pointers on your techniques? Were there things they told you to improve?
