The Academy Awards 2005
"An Evening At The Academy Awards"
Hollywood, California

I was pleased this year to be hired by KABC-TV as the Technical Manager of the worldwide telecast. We were on the air for four and a half hours over the weekend.
The program went very well.

The entrance to the Kodak Theater on the Red Carpet. Park on the balcony where Marc and Richard will be standing.

The control room of NEP's ND-2 digital truck. Bob hard at work patching all the video We used 14 cameras and many, many feeds.

Pete checking out the seats in the El Capitan and the view down the red carpet from the bridge camera.

Paul with his 45-foot jib on the roof of the Kimmel building and a group photo of a great looking bunch backstage in the Kimmel parking lot.

Park and Hamid, one of the most knowledgeable TV engineers I know and the KABC sign on the El Capitan.
