Shooting the segment

[tedwords]

 


Exhausting day. We woke up early so I could get ready for my interview. Corb and I had gone over some mock questions in preparation the night before. 

We arrived at Shiplap at 8:45 and the film crew was there at around 9:15. There were a much-anticipated round of layoffs at Fidelity today so I knew everyone was a bit on edge. Well, except for me. But I am definitely a sympathetic ear. 

Here is how I described the shoot: This morning I was interviewed by my friend Ally Donnelly for an episode of Money Unscripted. The segment centers around retiring from the corporate world to help Corb grow our business, TC Thursby Lighting Restorations. Oh, and the nervousness one feels, taking this chance during volatile times. It was filmed at Shiplap and Chandeliers in Norwood, where Corb's first location was opened, four years ago. Look for the episode, out around the start of June!

They scouted the location, set up the equipment, and by 11 Ally was set up to interview me. We conducted the interview for about 90 minutes and then they wanted to do some teaser segments around the space. Then shot some b-roll and did some Ops of various items in the location. They were done by around 3:30. 

It was lovely spending the whole day with Ally and Jess, however. Even if they were a bit stressed. They had to stop production at one point to take a Flash call to learn who on their team had been impacted. 

Corb and I grabbed some food and went home. He was exhausted, and we napped for about an hour. I woke up to pull together social copy for a Flea Market for Eldridge on Saturday.

That night, nowhere to go. Thank God. I cooked us dinner and we watched The Traitors.
