Northrop Grumman

I finally get to come to California! Even though the traffic is crazy, everything is expensive, and the people are high maintenance, I love it here. For this show we are doing a 3ml video wall about the size of a semi truck. 10'x40'. I know most of you don't know what a 3ml wall is, but they are AWESOME! Most of our shows that we do are ran on 6 ml or 8 ml walls, but 3 ml walls are beautiful! You can barely tell its a video wall.

We drove down to Redondo Beach on Sunday night to set up. Set up included Frank, Luis, Samantha, Victor and I. We got here around 8 at night and worked until about 4 in the morning. We were all in that lovely goofy and weird mood by that time. Set up went well, just very time consuming and tedious.  Everyone left except for Victor and I who had to be back at 7am.  So Basically we went to the hotel, showered and slept for an hour, just to get up and be back here for a 7am-7pm day.  Needless to say, I was a zombie on Monday night. I went to the hotel and crashed.  

Our client that we work directly with for Northrop Grumman is Bruce. It was my first time meeting him and he has grown to love me already. He gives me hugs every time he see's me and knows that he can count on me to take care of any problem. I think that a gratifying perk of my job. When I can comfort people into knowing we will do a good job for them, they are completely thankful.  

I signed a contract not to disclose any information from this show so I can't say much about it.  But I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work for them and I hope we do a lot of business for them in the future. And seeing our screen set up for the show was perfect! I think they were beyond happy with the set up and it definitely adds to the show having a massive screen that is beautiful quality! 

We actually had a back to back show with them.  So we tore down the stuff and basically brought it to the next location in Palmdale, CA to do it all over again.  I heard awesome news for a show that we are working in the next week or so though. I'm gonna leave it unnamed for now, but you will DEFINITELY hear about it! 

The O'Jays

The who? I've never heard of them, or recognized any of their songs. The O'Jays apparently used to be good back in the day. But I'm too young to understand I suppose. We were able to film them in one of our contracted venues in Laughlin, NV. I worked with Gary, Ethan and two other new people we training. For this show I was asked to control the Remote cameras. So basically that entails me sitting back stage, playing with a joystick thing-a-ma-bob that controlled two of our remote cameras. This venue is only worked by us, so it's an easy setup. There's not much to really say about this show. It was quick, I had no idea what the songs were, and I didn't really like them to be honest. But I never turn down experience and I'm glad my work gives me the opportunity. Hopefully the next show will be a bit more exciting!
