The biggest press event at Disneyland on 05/05/05, the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
I was Technical Manager for the three hour Sunrise 7 Australian morning show. It's the most watched morning show in Australia.
What a great group of professionals from Down Under. We had a marvelous time.
Here I am with some of my crew in from of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. That's Mark, me, Kevin and Paul.

The show moved all over Disneyland Resort. First at the Castle then on to Toontown. We then moved to DCA and then back to the Castle Hub location.

The I/O panel on SS-3 with a shot of one of the many "butt farms" where all the interconnections occurred. Everything performed flawlessly. Thanks Hoss and Dave!

Shots inside the mobile unit with me in the rear set keeping an eye on everything. Ken directing with Dougie producing and a shot off the 16X9 PAL screen of Mel and Kochie, the hosts.

I also Tech Managed the Univision morning show "Despierta America", shot in Fantsyland Theater for two mornings.

                                  

A 50-year old camera next to a modern one. It was my idea to get this model camera that was used to shoot the opening day ceremonies for the live shots. Reporters got in front of the old camera to show viewers what it would have looked like if they watched the original opening day telecast. Thanks to Chuck Pharris for providing the camera and the technical expertise. The camera was a big hit.

 

And here is a shot of the KTLA morning show on Wednesday morning in front of the castle. I also managed that shoot.
