I was terrified my first time directing live TV. But like anything, you get experience and then a major portion of it becomes second nature. Once that happens, it becomes a lot of fun. At that point, I didn't feel pressure, just lot's of excitement and fun. The real thrill comes when things go wrong and you're the one that has to figure out how to fix it. Many a time, there is things going wrong in the control room, but everything looks great on TV because people figure out how to handle it on the fly. It's a blast.

Watch the whole video the way he talks about his work at the beginning he might as well be talking about his soul mate. Getting to the position of working at the Oscars you are beyond worrying about making a mistake, you are a master of your craft at that point. Ellen didn't worry if she was going to flub a line. Anyone who has endeavored in any artistic venture will tell you that when you worry about making mistakes is exactly when you make them. We are talking about masters of their crafts; you can not become a master at something that you do not love and think is fun at some level, and the fruits of the labor and love you put in as a novice are paid off in the fun you have as a master. This has been a fact since Musashi wrote it in the 17th century and it is still true today. It is what sets aside every day mechanics from Nascar pit crews; a girl who works at a beauty parlor from Robin Matthews; and a local news producer from this guy.

How do they know where to point the cameras I guess the speeches are all planned out and shared with this crew?
@DavidEdelsohn11 ай бұрын
They don't know the speeches ahead of time. For each potential winner, they map out the potential attendees that the honoree would mention, such as other members of the cast, director, friends, parents, co-winners. That was the "bio" mentioned at the beginning. When the winner is announced, some cameras are following him to stage and other cameras are repositioning for the reaction shots. The potential reaction shots and camera set ups are specific to each honoree. That's also why they do the elaborate rehearsal with stand ins for the nominees and reaction celebrities. Each cameraman generally knows who or what general region he needs to cover. And it's also a top, experienced crew who can react to the unexpected, find an old mentor seated in row M and frame up a good shot, with the director advising the cameraman to hold it, ready, and go live when he sees a shot that will resonate with the audience at home.
