Beyonce- April 2, 2007
TODAY SHOW, 7am
EARLY SHOW, 12pm
Beyonce was all over on Monday morning, starting with the TODAY SHOW at Rockefeller Center Plaza.
Is it me or do the always seem to stick as many obstructions in front of the press pen as possible. Speakers, lights, camera men, security...and today, three back up singers for Beyonce. Jeesshhh!
All in all it wasn't too bad. Beyonce was very cordial, looking at the press pen and smiling.
Now we cut to the uptown scene...
She also performed outside on the CBS Early Show. The press riser was set up behind the crowd, parallel to the stage. Which means? You guessed it... tons of fans in the foreground making a full length shot damn near impossible. But you could shoot the hell out her in 3/4.
There was also another smaller press pen set stage left, but was heavily obstructed by lights and the stage rigging.
There has always been a trade off between the TODAY SHOW and EARLY SHOW.
TODAY- Closer to the stage but shorter shooting time and on an angle.
EARLY SHOW- Longer photo-op, dead center of stage but further back. Plus you have to deal with fan obstructions (arms, hands, signs, cell phone cameras)
