On Tuesday 10th October my form class went to Kairos in Maynooth tasked with making a TV show.
When we arrived in Maynooth, we got straight to work, the camera people were trained, the sound technicians given a crash-course on soundboards, the graphics guy given a computer rundown, the video mixer was told what to do, and the director, me, was told pretty much everything.
After all the technicians became accustomed to their various devices and machines, and the producer had finished running over the script with the actors and actresses, we began rehearsals. A lot of rehearsals. We broke for lunch after an hour or so and came back to rehearse some more afterwards. Eventually, the time had come to do it for real.
After overcoming slight sound issues such as a microphone being punched, the show was finished. In the end we did two takes and all I’m hoping for is that when we get the DVD back is that it’s the DVD of take 2. I don’t really want to talk about take 1.
So that was our Kairos, in the end it was a concoction of fashion, lions, and underwear. It was interesting but a good experience all the same.
