The Adventure of...
Mayor Elaine Scruggs
State of the City Address
2/01/05

To find when they will replay the address  check the
KGLN Cable Schedule.

This morning I had the pleasure of  having Breakfast at Aunt Pitty Pat's Kitchen with Hollister (Hop) David, Arizona artist and  publisher of the Ajo Copper News. Had a fantastic Breakfast (everything is great on the menu!) discussed Hop's upcoming art show being held at Tera's Garden which is located at 606 N. 4th Avenue in Phoenix, AZ.
He invites everyone to come and visit him  at the opening on the evening of Friday, February 4.

We wandered over by the Glendale Civic Center to watch KGLN setup to Video the Mayor's address.

You may have been there, you will see it on the news tonight and it will be re-run but while  it was being filmed by KGLN Here is some background on the production and engineering behind recording and televising it!

 There were producers, camera crew, engineers and operations people all working in harmony to  record this  photonic symphony.


In back of the Civic Center was the  Production Truck

Between the camera crew inside the civic center and  the many people seated in this truck and entire video production was made.

 In addition it is transmitted back using an antenna that was on top of the civic center linking  the truck and crew to the main studio in the Sub-basement 2 at city hall.

This truck is a fascinating piece of equipment to learn more about it, what it contains, where everyone sits and how it is used  click here.
