If i ever see you work there, ya. I also forgot that TWC HQ does not let any public touring unless it's something important.

Do you still work there?  If not, How long did you stay?

I am not employed by TWC right now, I do however work for the Canadian counterpart TWN.

I was with TWC just shy of two years back in 2003/2004.

I have been promised a job if and when I decide to return to Atlanta.

Well, too bad we won't see you as a OCM, if you want to.

I had intrest in doing OCM work up here but it didnt fancy me to much once I got in to it.

I am / have always been better at producing. My offical titles have been "Producer" "Director" and "Technical Producer". At TWC I was this.

Just so were clear, I am refering to the Television part of that page :P Not the set costume designer or something weird.

Quote
In television, the technical director actually refers to the role of the vision mixer or CCU operator, and works under the supervision of the television director. It is the TD's job to manually switch video sources, perform edits and overlay titles as ordered by the director. (The director does not directly interface with the production equipment, allowing him to coordinate the production and make rapid decisions.) The TD reserves a level of autonomy in exceptional cases, such as time constraints which may force him to fade to black early, or to switch away from shots which are not to broadcast standards or quality.

The TD also functions as crew chief, making sure all positions are manned and all equipment and facilities checked out and ready before the taping session or live broadcast begins. He/she may provide training to more inexperienced members of the crew. In consultation with the director, the TD may have more or less input into the creative side of the production, depending on the situation. He/she may provide the director with guidance on crew assignments, camera shots and the most efficient way to accomplish any given effect. The TD is usually responsible for the technical quality of the signal being recorded or broadcast, and often uses waveform monitors and vectorscopes to measure video levels.

I was actually referring to this, the first couple of lines in the first paragraph:

After having Carl Parker on EE last week, Paul surfaced for one special day on Saturday for severe weather coverage, but now we're back to Carl again. I wonder what's up with that.
