I directed and edited short product shows that aired throughout the day every day. These shows either aired in combination with the launch of a new product or as a soft sell to help push the last of a product out the door. My employment with HSN started as a Live Show Director. I worked ten hour shifts rotating through every position in the crew but most of the day was spent directing and Technical Directing (calling and punching at the same time).
