During the quarantine, I was invited to shoot the TV show Live Food. It turned out that quarantine is not a hindrance to TV workers, and they do not stop the production of programs. I want to tell you how the Live Food program is being filmed on NTV.
If I had been told a couple of years ago that I would be filming for a TV show, I would never have believed it. But last week I was called “on TV” for the second time.
When I told my parents about the shooting, they were primarily interested in the question, and how they called me there. It's simple, I didn't do anything myself. More precisely, I have led and continue to write this blog. By a lucky chance, he caught the eye of the producer of this program. So she called me.
All communication took place in the messenger, I did not even communicate with anyone by voice. Here it is - the age of technology in action. During the correspondence, we agreed on what I would cook and approved the costume for filming.
Filming took place during the quarantine period, when a pass was needed to move around Moscow. I had one like this, as an entrepreneur, I got it myself at the very beginning of the quarantine. On day X I went to the shooting and did not even worry that I would be filming on TV.
In the studio I was met by the correspondent Yana, who was responsible for this story. I immediately gave out gloves and said that in the studio it is necessary to wear a mask and gloves. But she reassured me that when I was in the frame, they could be removed.
I arrived early and had time to observe how the preparations were going on. Operators set up cameras and lights, someone was preparing props and arranging food for cooking.
All participants in the filming process were wearing masks on the set. I changed into a tunic and waited for the start. Usually, before filming, people in the frame are made up, but this time, due to quarantine, there were no make-up artists. I was made up by Yana, although it can hardly be called a make-up - she just evened out the complexion a little with the help of powder.
Then there was a long filming process, which lasted 4 hours instead of 3 hours. But this time flew by quickly. As a result, the dessert turned out, although I would have done better at home. But the operator managed to shoot the dessert so that it looked very beautiful in the frame.
I liked the shooting. I would gladly participate again. By the way, the release of the program with my participation will be released in September.
This article has already turned out to be long, and I didn’t even have time to tell you how the set works. If you're interested, let me know in the comments.
