First up, let me apologize for the quality of my photos. I was using my phone and they have a habit of coming out blurry. But, crappy camera work aside…I WAS ON THE SET OF ATTACK OF THE SHOW! I was there assisting the Ninja. From Ask a Ninja, of course. Is there any other ninja? He was there promoting his new iPhone app, the I Am Ninja game.

Olivia & the ninja

So, anywhoooo, I was obviously excited about this opportunity, because as you all know, I am such a huge fan of AOTS. Not to mention, just being on any set makes me the happiest person in the world. This set happened to have a very cool vibe. Everyone was professional but fun and you could tell they enjoyed their job. I was impressed with the way they kept the energy up and the mood light. No one was tense or stressed. This is live television people! I expected some uptightness going on but nope, nada.

Me & Alison

In the morning, the producers go over that day’s show. They start a rehearsal at 3pm PST where they run through the segments, what the hosts will say and where the cameras will be. Then at 4pm they start the live taping. The set is a very tiny room, not much larger than you see on TV. When Kevin & Olivia throw it over to the Feed, that host is standing maybe five feet away. After the taping, the producers meet and discuss the next couple of shows. The following day, it starts all over again!

Kevin, Olivia and Alison were all very friendly as were the producers and production staff. And I’m not just saying that cuz I want to work with them someday…they really were! :)

In case you missed the show, here is the segment with the Ninja…

Mdialog is an awesome video sharing site with tons of extra features…like contests, surveys, iPhone & appleTV functions and a new ad component that they are launching this week. Since you build your channel on the mdialog site and embed it wherever you want, you can keep up with me right here. As I upload new videos, the embedded channel below will automatically be updated. On the bottom tool bar is a 3 screen icon, click that to browse the other videos on my channel. Oh and if you are at the Expo, swing by the booth and say hello!

*UPDATE*
Here’s the mdialog productions channel with the vids I shot with them.

Sean contacted me a few weeks ago explaining he was profiling some LA tech peeps for the upcoming launch and would I answer some questions.  I had no idea I was going to be the first profiled.  That makes me feel all warm and gushy.  Check it out, http://www.lalawag.com/sarah-atwood/, it makes me look way cooler than I am!

It was a fun episode to do involving a pool…which pretty much means no one is safe from getting wet. Not even a lovely young lady in a fancy dress. The poor guy, Evan Geerlings, who played the dead dude kept having to hold his breathe for really long takes.  He was a trooper!

Thanks Brian, Sergio, Matt & Michael.  Anyways, enough babble from me.  Please, check out the “Floater” episode of Duck N Cover.
