HDNET produces their own broadcast, they usually route feeds to me. I am responsible for the Mavs productions (technical aspects-im not a production guy though I get talked into TDing every once in a while).
you should have taken the HDNET job...they and Lonestar (sister co) are awesome people to work with. Good trucks too.
what did you do at Comcast?
For Comcast, I was running Master Control for BBC America. I later did some freelance editing for Rocket Pictures that uses their facilities.
I would have loved to have the job with HDNET, but I was still in school at the time, so I just couldn't make the commitment to a full time position.
My current company is very low key right now, but growing fast. It's interesting to be in on the ground floor and to see where it's going.
