All of your pre-production paid off; you’ve just aired a live event video and it went off without a hitch! Congrats!
“You can't be what you can't see.”
My name is John Zawawi, and I just finished my freshman year at the University ofMassachusetts Amherst. This is the first internship I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be happier to be doing it at MEDIABOSS.
Being in a professional environment for the first time, I quickly realized that I know nothing.

Every Top 5 of every productivity / hack blog post ever written offers the advice: Do the Hard Thing First.
Ok. So, which hard thing am I referring to, you ask? The big one. The hardest thing. GET ORGANIZED.
"I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true--hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it."

The saying 'practice makes perfect’ can apply to many disciplines –sports; music; art.
But it also applies to your work. Whether you are a master at spreadsheets, a whiz at making calls, or a commander of the conference room, the more you practice your role in the workplace the better you become. No matter your title.
According to the Oxford Dictionary the definition of Video is:
The recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images.
While technically accurate, this definition is void of any nuance. Video is indeed the recording, reproducing or broadcasting of moving visual images. Yet, anyone familiar with video – from a creator to a viewer – knows there’s much more to it than that.
I write a lot about gear and production for a couple of reasons:
- I love the topic
- We travel quite a bit and we always have to be prepared no matter what, no matter how long the shoot runs, and I like sharing the gear decisions that have been galvanized during field production.
We are huge fans of technology and of course we all have smart phones. They are a godsend for production. Smartphones keep us connected and they provide amazing assistance with specialized apps. You can use your smart phone for almost anything.
But…that's not always a great idea.
