Hi, my name is Brandon Ribordy and I am a jib operator, camera
operator for PBS Wisconsin. One of the pieces of equipment that
I am using is called a jib arm. We have a 15-foot jib here and
then, we have a 30-foot jib way out in the field for this
production. What this does is it allows for us to get
cameras high up in the air and to do a motion like what you
would see with a drone without the need of a drone. So
the way this works is it's perfectly balanced so that I
don't need to use a ton of energy to move it around.
So, I can smoothly move from one side of the stage to the other
just like so.
As we record Mile of Music, the thing that I'm most excited to
have the viewers come away with is the the fact that that
something that is happening here in Appleton, we'll be able
to bring to a state audience so those of our viewers who you
know might not be able to make it up here don't want to make
it up here because of the crowds like they're going to
get a taste of what this is all about through the production
that we're doing.
