Wednesday Feb. 8, 2006 We had a good show considering how quickly we had to put it together. The only thing that stood out was the lighting on the guests. Andy seemed dark and not as crisp on Camera 2 than Dante did on 1. But we seemed to tweak it as we went along and it seemed better but not perfect. Also, the white papers on the desk made Andy dark on the wide shots. We are looking into different color papers or some other alternative to correct the problem. |
