Goldman Awards preparation - April 20

Next week I will be directing the Goldman Awards at the Sf Opera House.  Here is a link to site http://www.goldmanprize.org/ceremony/  This is the third year that I am directing and it's not only fun but it really has a strong message concerning the world's environment and the recipients who fight the good fight and receive the award.

I will be using 5 robotic cameras, one static and one handheld.  This will be streamed on the Goldman Prize YouTube channel.  This is obviously different than an opera but using the same gear and crew (thank goodness) will make my job directing this event smoother.   It will go live from the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.

The host will be Dana King, who was a news anchor here in San Francisco on CBS/5The entertainment will be the Afro-Cuban inspired dance troupe, Alayo Dance Company.

More to come…...
