Ah.... well..... where to start. I was a cable basher/stage hand, which I thought would be a cushy job that was a bit boring, slow, and wouldn't require too much effort, but..... it didn't go that good, because as it turns out I was wrong. A stage hand must always be doing something, and as soon as they finish doing something, they have to check camera cables positions, make sure everything is right, move it if its not, and then move on to doing another job. It is a very busy role to be in. In my opinion, the two hardest jobs a stage hand has is cable bashing, especially when cameras have to do fast, or complicated moves, and also angling the cards for the cameras so they get the best light possible (it can be hard to hold the card constantly still).Well, my performance was ok in the record and there weren't any problems, but before that in the final rehersal, right in front of Bruce, while I was helping one of the camera persons, one of the other camera cables I was watching fell out of its cradle holder thingy and the camera person on that camera moved the pedestal and ran over the cable.
Twice. (right in front of Bruce)
Then Bruce got medievil on my ass, oh the shame. My main thoughts (in order of size to me) are "OH MY GOD I SUCK AS A CABLE BASHER" and secondly, "That was a good show!"
