 Behind the Scenes

What you see is not always what you get, especially in the world of television. I would like to bring you into my world for a brief moment. Many of you may be surprised to know that when I'm presenting the weather I am standing in front of a plain green wall.

When I turn to the side, it looks like I'm looking at the "map" but actually I'm not because the wall is blank. What I'm actually looking at is a TV monitor that is placed on both sides of me that show my graphics. When I look forward, I am looking at a reflection of me and it shows the graphics behind me.

There is a box that I must stay in or I will go out of the shot or make the shot look out of proportion. Below are a few pictures that will transport you behind the scenes!
