Hi Bordercollieaustralianshepherd, thanks for taking all the time and effort you did to answer my request for advice, you sure came through.
I think all of your tips are right on and useful. Although I plan to avoid covering how to interview kids, you tip about getting the camera rolling early is useful for all guests. I find have nervous guests is one of the biggest problems I have to deal with. I once had a guest who was a member of an elite military group, actually leap out of his chair and run out of the room when the stage lights were turned on. Many of my guests are authors and I have found that allowing them to hold their book during the interview seems to work like a pacifier when they get crazy on me. I also like the fact that you brought up the physical production side of the interview process. Some people take that for granted and wind up not even being able to do an interview because they took for granted that things like that would be covered. I plan to put a section in the book explaining the importance of covering those kinds of details and making sure you have the right guest, in the right place at the right time. Details can kill you. I think you said you had a follow up question but I am not sure I saw it, if I missed it, please let me know. OK, thanks for your great input and feel free to come back to me with any other questions or comments. Ed W.
