Contestant # 1 is.........

That's right. I had another "cameraperson" extravaganza! So this time I went to be one of the camera people for Mr. Ba. Mr.Ba is a beauty pageant for boys. Let's just say that it was hilarious! If you remember, for the talent show, all 3 camera's were up in the balcony. But this time, Baileigh and I were on the floor in the back corners. And Jake was still up in the middle balcony.

Baileigh, Jake and I 

It was pretty much just like the talent show, and everything was pretty easy. Except a couple. There was this guy right? Well, he was doing some sort of booty shakin. And Terry said "Alright Rachel, I want you to zoom in as much as you can..." When he says that you start zooming in and then position so it goes faster.  "... and I want you to follow his bum." And I was like " uh........ okay." So i did. It was WEIRD! Then another time, there was a tap dancer, and Terry said "Alright Rachel, let's see how good you are." And I was like "oh gosh." and he goes "I want you to zoom in as much as you can on his feet and follow his feet." I was so scared! But I did it and uh...... it wasn't that bad. :) I followed his pretty well. :) 

So, you always hear people working an event like this say "Since it's live, we don't know what will happen." But I never really thought about all the different meanings of that for different people working. Until, now. They were in the talent portion of the night. And I thought, this won't be bad. It is just like the talent show! And it was. Until.......... so there was this guy named Andy. And he was singing. And with Andy, you never really know what to expect. So it was fine. We were following him pretty well. But then, he runs down the stairs and into the audience and was running around in the audience! And right when he did that, all three of us and Terry were on our head sets like "WHAT THE HECK IS HE DOING!?!?!" So we had to do our best to follow a silhouette. They didn't bring the lights up at all so he really was a silhouette. And every once and a while, he would go somewhere and it was so dark that we couldn't find him. THAT was ridiculous. It was funny afterwards though. :)

So, yeah, that was pretty much a lot of fun. :)
