I toot a small horn:
Today, I did my yearly 'Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican' Special program, which aired on NBC at 11:34pm ET. This year, the pictures were the best ever from Rome. The director was superb; the best yet. RAI gave us incredible shots for our opening; like never before. There were drone shots of St. Peter's Basilica. That was a first. Beautiful passes around the Square in front of the Cathedral, smooth as silk. And once the program started, the shots from inside were pretty good too. We saw views of the altar like we've never seen it before. I noticed that there was at least one wireless shoulder-mounted camera getting some great closeups of the Pope. The director seemed to be right in tune with the proceedings, getting shots appropriate to the schedule of the Mass. In addition, the camera operators were getting great shots with interesting moves, breaking the previous years' pattern of showing us static shots of the crowd at seemingly random inopportune moments. All in all, everyone agreed it was the best Christmas Eve Mass we've ever aired.
