This is a shout out to Aaron Reid on the exclusive “push back” story tonight. It was a long edit with a tight turnaround. I was in the suite pressuring him during what was already a stressful situation … and while it wasn’t a perfect edit … my main goal was to meet deadline on a jam-packed story such as this and not miss it’s slot. We cleaned it up for late. Sometimes that matters more than perfection. So kudos and thank you to Aaron.

Big shout out to Aaron Reid who has been going above and beyond to make our live shots look as good as possible. He cares so much about his work, and it shows! I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t seen one of his recent live shots to check them out. Always a pleasure working with Aaron.

A big shout out to Aaron Reid and Leah Larocque. On his way into work, Aaron saw Mark Sutcliffe and Catherine McKenney sharing a Beavertail while walking in the Market. He relayed that info to Leah as soon as he got in and the two of them went sprinting (literally!) back out to the Market to try to find them. They missed them actually eating the Beavertail, but got a clip and we were the first to have it online (ahead of Sutcliffe himself). Great hustle!

Aaron is extremely knowledgeable about all of the aspects of television production. On production he worked in every role and I am more than comfortable saying he can handle everything that is needed to create a TV show.
Regardless of his role, he did everything necessary to get the best possible product to air. He is extremely good at troubleshooting problems that arise, big and small. His knowledge of technical setups makes him very good at using logic and problem-solving to find solutions that others would miss.

When I asked you to get a few snaps for our CBC online web services I had no idea you'd be able to get so many shots. Nice composition on that low angle two shot. You captured some great reactions and with such discretion our guest was not distracted in the least.

We often forget to capture stills for our online beast so we were fortunate to have an actual stills shooter on set with us today. Thanks for documenting our shoot Aaron. Well done!
