One house. Ten strangers. 100 days. 28 cameras. 60 microphones.

I was Technical Supervisor, Post Production for the
first season of the CBS Network show, "Big Brother",
working under the famous Gene Crowe.
I helped build and operate the technical side of the post facility
for the series.
Sony did a great job as System Integrator. Sharp people, good
equipment.
We are scheduled to air FIVE nights a week for three months!
