During
General Synod, more than 20 people and three professional video cameras covered the
General Synod plenary, directed from a mobile trailer parked nearby where technicians also
operate lights and the sound system. These shows included interviews that take General
Synod fans behind the scenes with feature segments and a series on the host diocese of
Montreal. Backstage: How we did it
