From Tiny To Nick
The most interesting thing to me is that he changed his life while working in reality tv. He now hovers at a healthy weight of around 200lbs…a far cry from the 365lbs that he once reached at his heaviest.
across the pond…
the only way I could feasibly stay in the UK was to prove that I was a “Highly Skilled Migrant” and the only thing I am highly skilled in, is producing TV
If you don’t have your health, then what DO you have?
We’re all busy. There’s not a person I know who isn’t. We lead fast paced lives and work INSANE hours. However, this is no excuse to let your health fall by the wayside. If you don’t have your health, then what DO you have? I’m talking longevity here people.

Wing Girls make dating more fun.
We get hundreds of letters a day from guys all over the world telling us their deepest fears and being really honest. As women its nice to see that guys care just as much, if not more than we do! And its also amazing when they write us or post on our website that we changed their life for the better….OPRAH anyone?
Baja Fresh?
If Baja Fresh had existed in the year 1912, it could have saved the titanic. There’s enough salt in most of their burritos to melt an iceberg.
You guys…I am totally SHOCKED at the amount of sodium in most of the ingredients in Baja Fresh. If the food is really fresh, then why do [...]
Why it’s all good
I was 22 with no noteworthy college education, and I was being paid to travel and be a part of TV shows. In the midst of this, I found out my girlfriend got pregnant. At the time I was very scared because I was still on a PA’s salary, and was very new on the RTV scene.
A Foot in the Door, Or, How I Became A Reality Producer Without Really Doing Much
I had been in LA for less than three months. I had no job, no car, and $300 to my name. I needed a job.
A hard working AC who stands her ground and stays a lady
Although I don’t expect the princess treatment on set, it would be a breath of fresh air if guys stopped farting loudly in front of their female co-workers. There’s not that many girls on set, so if they would just hold it until she walked away, a girl wouldn’t be desensitized. Let’s not cross over into the boys side. Let’s keep our lady ways!
She’s Crafty.
Stop snacking on junk. It’s the reason why you feel like junk. I know how lame most crafty tables can be. Mealy apples, a bag of cheezits and some red vines. Add a paper clip and it sounds like ingredients that Macgyver could have made a bomb out of.
audio…stream of unconsciousness
Every pre-production orientation meeting stresses the importance of audio to tell their story. Yet, at the end of the day, it is unbelievable how some directors and producers will come up to a crew and thank only the camera operator.
Making Networking…. fun? Jill Garelick says hell yes.
Networking. Say boo no more. Producer Jill Garelick helps the RTV industry grow up.
Outlets
One person in the pass van with me exclaimed, “Look at that boat sitting in the middle of nowhere, what a waste”. Sometimes shuttling to location has its own unexpected benefits.
Reality TV is Trying to Crush My Soul
I’ve known what I’ve wanted to do with my life since I was fifteen years old. I want to make movies. Good movies. Real movies, like L’avventura or Even Dwarves Started Small. When I visited LA after college, my father put me in touch with a colleague’s son: “Bob Peterson’s son works in film. Have [...]
The glamorous life of one NYC based Supervising Producer
Someone got drunk enough tho think I would be a good producer. Did that for a few shows. Then I realized I was really best/fucking loved bossing people around so I became a Sr. Producer then a Supervising producer. I imagine I will be president soon enough.
Whatever kid, I’m starving (what to order at Subway)
You know what happens next. As soon as your gaze settles on the burrito section of the Baja Fresh menu, the cast erupts in some huge story you’ve been waiting for, the director nearly shatters your eardrum yelling at you to frame up, and you look over at the P.A. and say, “ Shit dude, gotta go, order me something, anything…I’m starving.”

cut the right corners and you have a beautiful snowflake, cut the wrong ones and everything falls to pieces.

So you think you’re a shooter
Over the last five years or so a new position has opened up on reality shows, the jr. shooter. Someone who has grown out of ACing and is ready to begin their career as a camera operator. In my opinion, it’s a position long over due but one that is under appreciated by both the production companies and the sometimes, the jr. shooter themselves.
Need Inspiration for B-Roll?
Camera operators all know exactly where to go in their own cities for B-Roll. There are all the magic spots, overlooks and angles we revisit over and over.
