Oh my, I think we have found a fony...I know I know, I am a "hater" and "jerk"but one thing I know is that the national area code of Beijing, China is 010, and I would like to hear if Dr. Ming has met the EP over there Ms Simons and Harrington, becuase the Dr.Ming I know, seeing that I work for NBC Olympics in 30 Rock is that a Dr. Ming is a Theologist...I really hope this was not a false post, it would be very very unfortunate
07AUG BEIJING CHINA...My name is Dr. Sam Mings - I am the Chaplain to the Olympians & here preparing to be with President Bush at US Embassy dedication...I've just come across Nick Williams audition video..Being familiar with Sports Personalities as NBC Sports Lewis Johnson doing the Olympic Interviews is on my Board of Directors... I was taken with this young man's charismatic - action packed audition. He is certainly captivating and it is very apparent his success is assured. Being a Texas an caught y eye..And the helmet moving was great - but most difficlt for announcers...ie sports personalities is the lack of ability with the spanish language. This young man was simply super! i him up...Please feel free to contact me..g.o Longhorns!
My phone number in Beijing is 1314-634-0449 if you would like to contac me.
It's nice to see someone who's knows what they're talking about! I can't believe this is ad-libbed! Great job Nick on the enthusiasm and charisma! You brought excitement to a sports cast, which I normally find to be quite boring. Great job! You're definitely a must have in this industry!!
Love the enthusiasm! This is SPORTS, so you gotta get pumped! Gotta show excitement! Gotta show passion! He's got it covered! Loved the touches on golf, baseball, boxing, fantasy football! With the Olympics coming up...there's NO time to spare! Hire this kid!
Thanks for the comments guys, Legend you are right in the aspect of the set. I don't know much about studios and lighting but I'll get better, and also for the mentions of corner shots and product lettering - did not know that.
This was tough to do because it was all ad-libbed. I had a generic plan on what topics I wanted to bring up, but that's about it. I understand this video has an amateur feel to it, but that's just me and my lack of camera experience. Hey, atleast there's a lot of room for improvement!
I appreciate all the comments, the good and the bad. Any suggestions helps too. Thanks again!
Legend: Your're talking about shooting, editing, delivering. Nick is delivering with the best of them. The shooting and editing can be there when he needs them. They are skills that can be hired or learned if necessary, but I think this Anchor position needs charisma and youth which he has. Dark Shadow: Excitement, freshness, newness are right on the $. You guys......Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
LEGEND(pretty cocky name), you need to read the fine print, Cleetus, i never said i knew anything about sports, just liked what i heard and if this dude's excitement about different sports can get me into other sports i don't watch, then doesn't that say something?? and in speaking of fine print, the job requirements are not criteria that need to be portrayed in the AUDITION TAPE. maybe they realize that since they want someone FRESH and NEW that they may not have access to the proper equipment to make this vdo professional. kudos, to Nick for selling himself on personality and knowing what he's talking about. BUT since YOU know so much, maybe you can help him shoot another clip. holla!
darkshadow- though you think you know something about sports and the reporting of it, you obviously do not. I would think the creators of this sight (like it says in the instructions) can shoot, edit and deliver. There is not shooting or editing here and the information that is received can be heard on sportscenter. But hey, you seem like a pro at this, maybe you should give it a shot This is not a bad amateur video, but amateur none the less.
