The High Bar TV - Advancement
A while back I came on board as a technical director for an interview show called “The High Bar”. Go ahead and take a minute to check it out at: thehighbar.tv
It’s a pretty great show, right? Warren Etheredge is the host and he avoids those “tell me something funny that happened on set” questions and instead really asks the deeper more interesting ones. We also get all types of guests. Sure there’s an entertainment lean with directors, actors, etc. But also we get chefs, authors, journalists and a whole slew of interesting people.
From a technical standpoint we don’t work on a set (yet), so we have to come in and get our cameras and lights set up as quickly as possible while set dressing everything as best as we can. This can be an issue when the show is supposed to not be dated and the entire bar is dressed up for Halloween (check to see if you can find the episode). It can also be an issue when the bar is getting ready for the day and some machine in the back turns on and flips a breaker (only happened once), and an open bar can also cause several audio issues.
I have to be aware of all of these things as I’ve just been given the additional role of Director for the show. I’m excited and honored to be part of such an entertaining and educational production, and I hope I can help to bring it to greater heights in the future.
So, uh, you should watch it to help with that.
