Celebrity Apprentice Finale

The Ask.

“Peter where are you right now? Can you come over now!” and “Bring a Grand MA lighting console with you.”

What I did.

The Team at the Celebrity Apprentice Finale got into some trouble with their media servers. They called me in to help. Luckily the show was in NYC as was I so I made a call to 4 Wall. Luckily they had a desk and were able to get it to me on a Friday after hours. When I arrived the team was deep into rehearsals. My instructions were. “Sorry but make this work before the end of rehearsals.”

How I did it.

As quickly as possible with some stage hands I set up the Grand Ma Lighting console got connected to the media server and began programming. What they needed was to make a theater look like the hi rise boardroom where the show was shot. So the content team made me a window frame and buildings as separate clips along with a random apartment lights on lights off clip to make it look like the windows were real.

What I used to do it.

Grand MA Lighting Desk and Two MBox Extreme Media Servers.
