Do everything early...

I think one of the big things I learned over the last three years is to begin work on segments immediately. During my shoot first shoot, I waited on calling some of my contacts until I had taken some interviews. It made things incredibly difficult to get BC Dining on camera later, so I ended up settling for a statement released by them that I read on camera and put on the screen with CG. It would have been so much better to call every contact asap, and let them know my deadlines (specifically!)

I feel I've learned from this moment a lot. For my Advanced TV package, I've lined up and gotten confirmation from almost all my interviews already, they are now just waiting to hear for the go or no go for launch. In order to get a more accurate script, I even had some mock interviews recorded so I would have an idea of what would be said in the segment.

I'm sorry that this is an incredibly short note, but I was focused on the script and have been very ill for the last two days.
