READY OR NOT......

TV6, we certainly hope your Friday morning broadcast of the Camboulay celebrations in downtown Port of Spain was not the dry run for your actual Carnival broadcasts, because it left much to be desired.

Andy Johnson seemed to be a one-man show of host, producer and director out in the field. We clearly heard Keisha David asking him what is coming next, then we heard him giving directions to the cameraman, then we heard him having conversations with someone in the background when he was not on camera.
Poor Andy! Clearly not his fault that the entire "team" did not get their act together in time to go on the air.
Then at another point, we heard Andy clearly doing a piece to camera, but the director cut back to Dr Job in studio to cue a break, but all this time we were hearing Andy, who clearly did not know that there was a "technical problem" as explained by Dr Job.

Then the cameraman who was shooting the blue devils needed some direction. He must have been shooting Carnival for the first time, because he kept his shot very tight on the devils, even though they were performing the fire-breathing act....so we saw the flame leaving the devils' mouth, but we never did get a shot of the full effect of the flame as it hit the bottle.

So you need to get your team together, discuss the virtues and demerits of that broadcast, and get your act together for J'ouvert.
