I thought I'd share a behind the scenes view of this year's Tony Awards from Radio City Music Hall. Working for CBS Network, I've had the privilege of sitting in the broadcast truck with some of the most talented, world class directors. Glenn Weiss is one of the best. Glenn's direction of the last few minutes of the Tony's opening number was unlike anything I've seen in the 13 years I've been with CBS. Stay tuned until the 00:52 mark - He was on FIRE! PS: Glenn was a little busy and unable to give me camera direction, thus the video is shot in portrait mode (vertically) rather than horizontally. I know, I know. You can also follow me on twitter or instagram @rothjodi for the occasional witty comment and behind the scenes photos. ****new split screen video posted. Check it out!

This is some serious talent mixed with decades of experience. Same for the TD and camera ops. The director doesn't need to baby sit camera moves and framing which allows him to focus on other things.Way to be.

@pedrobcn 7 лет назад

Trevor Loucks plus some homework done, and rehearsals. But yes, everybody knows where his job here.

@DannySkarka 11 лет назад

Notice how the director needs to say nothing to the camera ops. They know where to go. Sure they rehearse, but not the audience cut aways. This is an outstanding crew...congratulations to them all.

I had no idea it took so much energy to do this. Impressive.

@Mediaright 3 года назад

You certainly "can" do it more calmly, but "calmly" doesn't win you 14 Emmy awards. ;)

@declancairns2083 5 лет назад

That was one of the most spectacular videos of some people sitting in front of tv's ive ever seen

@jodiroth11 11 лет назад

Glenn is an incredible director. Glad the majority of you enjoyed this video!

@ashleyrio2023 5 лет назад

and it boggles my mind that people don't appreciate the backstage crew. congrats to the director, you are doing amazing work!

@cammrn Год назад

bottles my mind as well

"...More stars!" So skillfully done.

@chasitycampbell8471 8 лет назад

I love when people are really into their work and show it. Great!! This is me when I'm directing but on a way smaller scale. Great job!

@tossmeacarrot 11 лет назад

This fascinated me. What I saw at home on TV was amazing and now I see another reason why. It's great to see this done "on the fly" like this. Big thank you for posting this.

@rajmarathe1 5 лет назад

Props to the TD for getting there with him.

@beanofglory1051 2 года назад

This blows my mind and always puts a smile on my face when I rewatch it (I've always wanted to work in backstage theater!) - thank you so so much for posting this!

@Slikwashere456 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing this! I'm holding a workshop "Directing Live Television". We work on a much smaller scale compared to this, but the principles are the same, especially that RUSH that ensues when the pace of the show picks up and the director gets loud and the snappy fingers come out! haha! You can tell Glenn and his TD are focused and that they trust each other along with the camera ops. As the director, it's the most amazing feeling when you don't need to call camera shots, so you can just go on autopilot and fall in to that "director's dance". To someone who doesn't work in television, this may look/sound like chaos, but it's the exact opposite. This is what harmony and grace looks like in television.

@JerielleMarie 11 лет назад

I can't thank you enough for posting this never seen type of footage. I am in love with it.

@dreemfinder 11 лет назад

MY GOD! I've watched this number DOZENS of times, always astounded by the coverage... Actually that's true of the whole show. So very grateful for this glimpse of what went into that moment!!! THANK YOU!!

@davidcomora Год назад

Thanks so much for posting this clip!! I have been using it to start my TV Production 1 class the past couple of years. It never ceases to amaze me and my students!

@TechnikLady 11 лет назад

This is the first time ever, I've seen something like this and I have to say: That's awesome! And when you know how great the finished product looks, it's even better! Everything is live! Incredible!

@Tao_of_Atma 11 лет назад

So awesome. Very fun to get a glimpse behind the scenes of one of the best opening shows that I have ever see on television. Thank you for posting this.

@GamersGrind 11 лет назад

A live TV director can be comparable to a conductor just with more stress when things go nuts

@WrenSong14 11 лет назад

BEST OPENING NUMBER EVER!!! And huge huge Bravos to the director!!! This was brilliant and awesome!! Made me cry all over again! So thrilling to see this perspective!!!

@Vichewy 10 лет назад

this is one of the best bts-live things I've ever seen. truly incredible.

@anonymous3837 11 лет назад

Jodi - this is great. My favorite awards show has become The Tonys and this partly illustrates why. The entire show is amazing.

@jodiroth11 11 лет назад

Lala, I am biting my tongue because there's a lot I could say, you captured it eloquently in a nutshell. Thank you!

@strongsad14 11 лет назад

I don't care what orientation, the video is beautiful just the way it is!

@misikacsa 9 лет назад

TURN TAKE! The director would have told you to turn your camera 90 degrees...

@Peg06 11 лет назад

Amazing! I've never seen a Broadway show and only watch the Tonys for NPH's opening numbers. I loved seeing this part of the background of how it all works after watching the number repeatedly! I am impressed that the camera operators knew who the stars are to get shots of. Are they Broadway fans or are they briefed? I can visualize everyone one in the crew receiving an email with pictures of Broadway stars!

@derhoit 11 лет назад

Thanks Jodi! I would have forgot to get to horizontal as well. Bravo on getting what all the haters dreamed of being in the presence of. All you punks wish you had Glen's skills !!!

@rubencalvoherranz3381 10 лет назад

great professional...!!! what a way to live his work, I am also reflected at this as a television director ... but this time I miss any more command over the cameramen, perhaps previously they know all to do

@allieissocoollikee 11 лет назад

This is awesome!

@johnnyballenatl 8 лет назад

Since my last comment: After many, many years working beauty pageants, the Tonys (and other award shows), numerous specials like the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon and Peter Pan Live!, and even three game shows (Legends of the Hidden Temple, Gladiators 2000, Majority Rules), Glenn Weiss will be directing the granddaddy of all: *THE OSCARS!!!!!!!!!*

@AvalonMorley 8 лет назад

Very cool--I can't help but be in awe of him here, especially given the magnificence of the final product!

@mengchiehkuo 11 лет назад

Direct! Thank You! If don't have you, we can not see the Amazing Tony Award Opening Show in my State!

@TalesToldFromTheRoad 11 лет назад

I'm a volunteer at the Community Media Center of Marin (which operates a three-channel PEG station near San Francisco). I can see if we had 10 cameras instead of just 4 in our studio the control room would be definitely livelier when we're producing shows.

@dominicdococo4574 Год назад

That was amazing! Must be exhausting.

@39stepsny 11 лет назад

hen I saw this very cool clip, I thought of a story about the legendary Technical Director O. (Orlando) Tamburri. He was working with equally legendary director Dwight Hemion on an Oscar or Emmy telecast and on show day, he placed a jar of Vaseline down on the console. "What's that for?" Hemion asked. "You", 'Tambi' replied..."Nobody snaps their fingers at me!". Well, Glenn - you snap away!

@suebee0619 11 лет назад

The quick cuts were during the extremely long ovation NPH and everyone onstage (deservedly) got and worked really well to me. I thought the director did a great job keeping the tv audience's attention. And yes, I'm someone who works on Broadway and do hate when directors try to do too much during the actual musical numbers. I thought overall he did a great job at not doing too much camerawork during the actual numbers or at least kept it pretty seamless.

@WolfSeril107 11 лет назад

I do this every Sunday at my church but with only two cameras- and that's hard enough. I can't imagine doing something like this.

@wefinishthisnow3883 Год назад

I actually find it easier with more cameras. 2 is extremely difficult to get the shots you needs and make it cut together seamlessly. Sometimes you end up with 2 bad shots to take.

@otomodachifan 10 лет назад

@healthyholemealbread 11 лет назад

@wingyan123hk 11 лет назад

At the Tony Awards dress rehearsals there are huge headshots placed on the seats of where nominees/stars will be sitting, so they already know the seating arrangements beforehand.

@Lemonface99 11 лет назад

Sounded at one point like he was about to really need those tissues. But seriously, good job man!!

@iComplainer Год назад

@DallasJamesPritt 11 лет назад

@GeorgeWhittam 11 лет назад

@Magitroopa 11 лет назад

I felt like he was singing the numbers to the tune of the song. He must be pretty dang awesome is he was.

@Vectorbabe 11 лет назад

Which is why the Tony awards ceremony for Broadway will beat out the Emmy wards show for TV when it comes to a television Emmy. (And it has, year after year.)

Easy to bark orders...try being the AD who had to hand punch the console fast enough while visually confirming that each camera is safe to cut to...millisecond reaction times...👏👏👏

@MTGandP Год назад

A question: most of the time, he calls out a number and then "take", and they cut on "take". But during the middle section, he stopped saying "take" and just started calling numbers and the camera would switch immediately. How do they know when he wants them to switch immediately?

@js7539 Год назад

They're not cutting on "take". They're cutting on his finger snaps, whenever those happen. I would guess in the faster parts, the switcher operator isn't even switching the preview before cutting to it, just switching the main (program) output directly. It is of course nice to have a second or two of warning as a camera operator but at that point, just assume every camera is live all the time.

@MTGandP Год назад

@@js7539 thanks for explaining!
