The best part of my job is the independence I have while working. I've become very close with my coworkers throughout the years and enjoy working and being apart of the crew.

The current manager does a lot of unnecessary micro-managing and has very poor communication within the department. Management has always been an issue however. While working at Northern Quest I've learned everything that I know now about the equipment I use daily such as DVCPRO cameras, video routers/switchers, microphones, and Crestron. During the concert, I am either a camera operator to provide IMAG to our in-house projection system, or assume the role of Technical Director to decide which camera shots to choose from to show on our IMAG. If its a concert day, I assist in unloading all production equipment and setting up the complete stage setup. Depending on event timings and scheduled events, I also do an hourly check on the casinos main gaming floor to ensure that all TV screens are broadcasting current sports programs and that all audio levels are satisfactory. I then gather all the equipment necessary, whether its a laptop or a microphone, and connect everything to our in-house systems and assist in running and tearing down after the event has concluded. Before the event begins I like to meet with clients to find out what they need assistance with for their presentation.

Setting up for an event is never the same, which makes things interesting.
