First impressions of multi camera

Today was my first experience with multi camera. I got a feel of presenting on set and of being in the room where the set is directed from. I learnt certain aspects of controlling sound in the studio and visual display in the studio. We learnt how to do fading, how to change between cameras, etc. overall, it was a basic understanding of the studio and how it works and how communication between the studio and the viewing room.
