My first VO Patrol

My first VO-patrol was this past Friday. I got to cover Russ Mitchell from CBS accepting Mizzou's highest journalism honor.  Mitchell was a student at MU and graduated with a broadcast journalism degree. He has reported in Kansas City, St. Louis, and Dallas.  I have to admit I was pretty intimidated when I gave him a few interview questions, but I ended up getting an excellent sound bite. I also learned how important it is to manually focus my camera, and not depend on auto focus because some of my shots were not too good.  I am looking forward to my next VO-patrol tomorrow and I am hoping that it goes just as well.
