I'm really sorry this photo is so dark. I know what did it--it's that it was shot into the reflectors! I'll see if I can't brush-up on my Photoshop skills and make it a little easier to see. Anyway, at the far left, you see Fate, holding the microphone. Just above his forehead is me, eyeing the potato[e] chip basket. That's Steve Thiesfeld in front of one of the reflectors. He was the Director for shoot, and did a great job of mixing-up a variety of angles and background action ("I want milling and shifting back here... More Frisbee! Someone come and get a hot dog!" I'm sorry now that I never did get the camera man's name. We were shooting on real film that day. It's flown to a lab in Chicago (where Joe "Fate" Janes is from), digitized and then flown back to Omaha, where Great Plains does the editing, drops in the various graphics from the Lottery and packages everything for broadcast or print use. That's Jamie Vesay in the cap, again, and the woman with the camera is with the Nebraska Lottery Commission. Note the Indian TeePee, beyond the closed road. The chips were real, as were the burgers and the hot dogs. The chicken you see isn't really barbecued, it's been painted to look barbecued! They last longer that way, in the increasingly-hot sun.
