Fishin’ for Love RMITV · a live multi-camera studio show

I directed eight episodes and a technical rehearsal of a live multi-camera studio show, helped write it and build its games, then came back to mentor its leadership team.

The show

Fishin’ for Love is a live multi-camera studio show made at RMITV, the student-run television station at RMIT. It is made with a volunteer crew, which makes direction as much about people and planning as it is about shots.

Two seasons, two roles

After directing Season 1, I was appointed to direct and mentor Season 2. When the production chose a single director, I put my focus on mentoring, giving direct guidance to the people running the show.

Beyond the director’s chair

A volunteer studio show runs on people as much as shots, so my work went well past calling cameras.

  • Creative feedback and improvements across the show
  • Writing, and developing the game show activities
  • Helping cast the host
  • Social media posting
  • Weekly team-building after every shoot, organising food and drinks and running social deduction games

v. In short

Eight episodes from the director’s chair, then a season guiding the people who run the show. Somewhere in between, I made sure the crew ate well and had a reason to come back next week.
