Inauguration Coverage

Wisconsin Public Television produced live coverage of Governor Scott Walker's inauguration this week. It's quite a spectacular! We trucked HD cameras down to the capitol, strung 100's of feet of cable, wired the place for sound, placed two broadcast anchors above the podium (myself and Shawn Johnson from WPR)and directed the camera shots of the action out of our HD remote truck. This event is among the many WPT produces from the capitol, including the Governor's State of the State address, which is coming up on January 25, the Governor's budget address, State of the Tribes and Martin Luther King day celebrations. When you see it from behind the scenes it's basically a feat of engineering. When you see it on TV it just looks and sounds like you're there with the best seats in the house.
