Hey guys, as some of you know....I work at Channel 8 as a production tech/videographer. I work closely with the producers, shooters, and editors of the "Daytime" and "The Spot" shows almost everyday. I imagine they might use April's segment on Daytime as well which airs weekdays at 10am. That often happens. So expect double coverage.
I volunteered my personal footage for my personal project that I shot at DDay II as well. I had gotten some great shots. Charles' (RiceRocket) footage looked awesome as well and with his permission, passed that along to them. Not sure what they will use. Sometimes these segements can be less then a minute, sometimes up to four or five minutes. Its hard to say. Much of it depends on how much "sold" time they have for a show as well.

I have been on vactation and out of town till today, so I'm sorry I missed the shoot. I would have loved to meet many of you.
I don't have any pull at all around there, but be assured that none of what you all shot will be used for news. Production and News are two seperate departments.
Also, if I can, in the most professional way possible, I will try to stress to the producers/editors how important it is to portray your sport/interest in the most positive manor.
I wouldn't worry about it though. You're in good hands. WFLA has some of the best shooters and editors in the biz. I'm not just saying that. These guys are top notch pro's.
Any questions concerns feel free to contact me personally at work:
