Inside NBC Studio 8H…

Here’s a little over a minute of video shot during the set up session for Rihanna’s band in December of 2009. This is usually done Thursday mornings with load in and sound check done by 1 o’clock and and a run through of the songs done around 2 when camera blocking begins. You can see the schedules in today’s next post.

After the song run throughs, the guest host comes in and the promos with the host and band are shot usually in a 30 to 45 minute window. After promos, sketch rehearsal and camera blocking begins and lasts till around 8 or 9.
