Tech Trivia: "I Love Lucy" edition
🌟 it’s all about perspective.
Fun Trivia🔎
Did you know “I Love Lucy” pioneered the use of three cameras while filmed in front of a live studio audience?
This allowed for multiple angles to be filmed simultaneously and in fewer takes - resulting in more authentic audience interaction and laughter throughout a single scene. Laugh tracks weren’t uncommon then but Lucy insisted that the energy from a live, laughing audience was vital to performing her best! 🎥📺
Brilliance 👑
BONUS FACT: We have "I Love Lucy" to thank for the concept of re-runs! That's right! When Lucille Ball took some maternity time off, Desi suggested the studio replay some of the show's most popular episodes to keep their weekly schedule. Pretty neat, huh?
What 3 accessories does the "Elissa Action Figure" come with?
-A 5-shot Latte - usually from a local spot or a seasonal Starbs
-Mobile phone - love having information & connection at my finger tips
-Funky Earrings - nothing wrong with making a bold, fun statement
With over 15 years in various Sales-centric roles, I always aim to empower my clients to make purchasing decisions that best suit their unique needs. I do this by creating an environment built on educating, trust, and respect... and a bit of humor, too!
I launched my career in Special Event Management & Hospitality, which included Corporate A/V consulting and planning. After a decade-long career of executing 547 special events - and two babies later, I pivoted to Hotels & Hospitality, where I served as the Director of Sales & Marketing over multiple mid-size properties. Just before the pandemic, I made another unique shift into K12 print book sales, working primarily with school and public libraries curating their Children's/YA collections. Most recently, I made a bold career move entering the Tech world, and have never felt more motivated by what I do! The excitement, the energy, the brilliance - all unmatched!
On the days in between, you can find me hiking/exploring with my two kiddos (and cocker spaniel, Duke), working on home projects, learning Italian on Duolingo, indulging in history, or concocting a new dish.
