Working with WPLG Local 10 news........




One of the many dreams that I have had was being on the big screen and I am sure that at one time or another everyone has shared a similar dream. Well I didn't make it on the big screen but for now t.v. will have to do. Got my chance today to do a promo video for WPLG Local Channel 10 News where I spoke about a few of the weather men like Scott Padgett and Max Mayfield who delivers the weather to us every day. And also giving feedback on the weather reports and how it affects me day to day. Some of the information I gave was impromptu, interview style question and answers. Other information was fed to me but I was able to ad-lib along the way.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the news crew entering into the studio but I was pleasantly surprised to see that everyone was friendly and super nice. Being welcomed into the studio with such a warm reception from the Weathers Director, Michael who showed me around the studio giving me the grand tour made me comfortable like I was already a part of the family... getting an introduction to the news casters and crew was an extra bonus.

This was not the first time I had been in a news station, in the past I had visited the NBC studios in New York but that being a part of a tour did not count. I also visited the WSVN channel 7 station however never going past the front lobby. This was an experience for me that will not be forgotten and serves as a reminder that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Stay focused and be great!
