After calling in every police station and fire station in the state to make sure nothing was happening I saw Andy viewing his tapes. I asked him if I cold watch and he led me through the whole process of making a package.
It was pretty neat, after he got back from getting the footage he made a script, found the sound clips he wanted, gave it to his editor who approved it, then he recorded the voice over and gave the footage to the cameraman who put the whole thing together. It took a whole day's work to put together a 1minute 40second piece.
The cameraman had been an intern at the station before hired... that makes me feel a little better about devoting 9hr days unpaid.
