I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to another drive to work.

So one of the things I do on my podcast from time to time is I talk about some of the things I've done for magic that weren't game design.

Obviously, my major focus has been game design, but over the years I've done a bunch of different things.

So today, I'm going to talk about my time as a video producer.

So for those I don't know, I went to school at Boston University where I majored in broadcast

and film.

I got a BS in communications, believe it or not.

So broadcast and film is a fancy way of saying TV and movies.

The internet wasn't really a thing yet when I was in school.

So I studied communications, specifically studying at the time

the two major mediums, which was TV and film.

And so one of the things I had to do to major in television film is I had to do video production.

So real quickly, the technology is advanced a lot.

Basically, TV in the early days was mostly done on video, which is electronic,

and film is chemical. You're shooting on actual film. Now, the digital technology has gotten so

good that a lot of people, I mean, some film isn't actually shot in film anymore, it's shot

in digital. But back in the day, we learned how to basically work with both video and film in school.

And so I did actual classes where I went out with a little 8mm film and shot films.

But I also did video production.

And I did do some video production out in the field, as they call it, I did do a lot of video production in the studio.

And in fact, I had a class in video production, and the way it would work is each time you would do a video production, but you would take a different role.

Maybe you're doing sound, maybe you're doing the lights, maybe you're the talent, meaning you're on camera.
