Quizmania Interactive Quiz Show. I worked in the production gallery alongside the Producer and Director. The show is live and therefore required good cohesion between the three of us. Quizmania was the number 1 interactive gameshow on British T.V. (2005-2006) running over 2 sky channels as well as ITV1 and ITV2. This meant a particularly high volume of games, and ad break stings/ titles, all of which I was responsible for running.

Cannes Area, France

I was responsible for helping prepare the crews’ equipment before each shoot.I had the opportunity to operate lighting, sound and camera.I was required to work in a very pressured and stressful environment over the course of 2 weeks.

I worked side by side with both the Producers of E4 music and Channel 4 Network Directors to create an innovative and exiting interactive service. I held responsibility for the interactiveservice on E4 for 9 hours of each day. I further used graphics to screen technology (Clarity) and moderation tools.

I worked independently using SMS text to screen and graphics technology including Clarity as well as studio and presentation operations I gained more experience of working in a live T.V.environment and using different Graphics Editing and Moderation platforms.
