#37: Never step in front of a camera unless you can hear the director and are ready to go in every way. If you are standing there, looking like you are ready, the people in the booth think you are ready and will go to you with little warning.

Whoever wrote that rule never worked in television news. The director wants to SEE THE TALENT even if they're not scheduled to be on for another 20 minutes! "Where's my F****ng talent? Where's the remote shot?"

Screw ‘em.

Let them see an arm or a zoomed in head shot so you can nod answers to the director or producer’s questions, but never an airable shot unless you can hear SOLID production audio in your IFB.

Best bet for remotes is two IFBs, Air on one (Mix Minus!), Production (louder) in the other ear.
