Three very nice young tv-crew-men are downstairs getting ready to
interview Frank, so of course I decided it would be fun to live-blog
this unusual event.
Roland, the interviewer from Sweden, is young and tv-good-looking–he has already
interviewed two US Nobel laureates before he came here–visiting Minneapolis and
Santa Barbara.
Guy, the cameraman who also does lighting, lives in Wellesley. Rob, who does sound, is also a local freelancer.
They’re setting up lights and cameras and microphones all over our
house’s familiar spaces, while Roland and Frank chit-chat about physics
and travel.
Rob dangles a huge microphone in a thick fur sweater (a “Rykote windscreen”) over one of our dining room chairs.
Guy pulls down the shades in our dining room so that he can take full control of the ambient light.
More soon….
