At the CMAC Performing Arts Center I worked on a film crew comprised of Finger Lakes Community College students for two summers. Our objective was to record performances to two large screens facing the audience in lawn seats that were too far away to see the stage. For most of the audience in the lawn seats, what we broadcasted was the only thing they saw.
