ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on interacting with people both in the video department and on the production as a whole. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. The practice of this work is to respond to these demands with grace. The Media Operations team is responsible for the final delivery of a large portion of the visual statement of a show. As a result, many designers and producers are constantly checking with the Media Operations team on their status, especially if there are any issues with the physical state of the screens, delays in content delivery or issues with playback. Media and Screens are a demanding industry. The technology evolves rapidly and there are many sources of stress. The hours are long and expectations on what needs to be achieved can be overwhelming. To be highly skilled and good under pressure is not enough.
