We were up till the wee hours of the morning the night before editing the last VTs.
This section is composed of a list of things that didn't go so well, and that future producers of CiN might want to think about when they are planning their broadcast.


The script wasn't in the hands of the presenters until the day of, and then they were too busy editing to read it.
*Don't stay up until the wee hours of the morning the night before, editing the last VTs.


The autocue froze a few times, the presenters had never used autocue before and the autocue moved too fast at first, as there was no way for the autocue op to see what portion of the text was visible on the screen in the studio. This issue was fixed by marking the visible portion on the computer screen in the control room with masking tape.
*Do eat something other than junk food!


We did not request graphics until the day of the show, and then a few people had to scramble to get them made.
*Don't wait till the day of the show to give the presenters the script, especially if the presenters are still madly editing VTs...


Some of the VTs didn't play at first.
*Do train the presenters on how to work with autocue before the actual live broadcast! (Aside from Sarah and Robyn looking a bit uncomfortable with little words scrolling on a screen in front of them, the autocue also died a couple of times, so do have a backup script for the presenters to hold, also...make sure that you use tape to mark the on the autocue screen in the control room, to let the autocue operator know what portion of the text the presenters can see on their screen in the studio.)
 
*Do request graphics well in advance and not on the day of the show...so that people do not have to scramble to make them for you!
 
*Do have a backup plan for if a VT doesn't play, as in when the Three peaks videos suddenly stopped playing.
