No Pregnant Pause

MTI crew won't let anything get in the way of a good production

For the past three years, MTI has been honored to provide video production services to Maximus, the leading provider of health and human services to federal, state, and local governments. The advantage of a repeat customer is that familiarity with the client and the task allows for quicker and more efficient production.

The most recent livestreaming production was in fact such a job, with the singular exception that the director was eight months pregnant!

Longtime MTI production staffer Analee Wong was expecting her first child but still showed up at Maximus' Tysons Corner offices to lead the crew for the livestream. This is certainly more than the usual dedication. Analee was not only director, but technical director, running the switcher throughout the broadcast.

If you want something done, ask a woman.

Assisting Analee were Todd Burger and John O'Brien on cameras and Rob Sanchez on audio. The equipment included a BlackMagic ATEM switcher, Panasonic AGDVX200 cameras, Aputure lights, and microphones.

Because this crew had experience with Maximus' requirements, everything went smoothly. As did the delivery about a month after the production when baby Teddy arrived. Both mother and child are doing well.
