...it is now.
The winter olympics are over for me and while I am as sad as expected I'm also incredibly glad and lucky I got the chance to be a part of it. I had such a great time, I learnt a lot and I met so many awesome people. From the edit shadowing with Euan to raving at 5am to soundman Pete's incidental cover tracks, from just making teas and coffees to being the only person in the BBC to notice someone was swearing live on air, it's been a wonderful experience and an educating one too. What have I got out of it? A little more technical knowledge, some more editing inspiration and tips on using Final Cut Pro, more knowledge about how live broadcasts, interactive and in particular the sound works, and some good advice from people on the industry in general. There's also some prospective volunteer camera work for the brother of one of the editors. I've learnt to handle nightshifts, and keep going even when I am exhausted, something I learnt at my old work and improved upon here. I've had a great laugh. I am missing it and the people so much right now and will miss them for some time more.
The best thing was at the end when the lady who runs the whole thing said I was definitely to keep in touch and she'd look at getting me on Winbledon and some more of the upcoming sports events. I just hope I can earn enough to stay in London until this happens!
Now I have a lot of mundane stuff to sort out - laundry etc - I have to finally decide on what skis I want, and buy them - and I have a lot of e-mails to send. I also need to apply to BBC Salford Quay...
Cheers,
Jules - missing work and people like hell :( xx
