Blind Dining Season 1- 2022

Playback, Shading, Art Department

Blind Dining was a quiz game show with a culinary twist in which once a contestant got a question wrong they would have to eat a bizarre dish and try and figure out what it was. I worked in studio primarily making sure we were recording and that the files were put where they needed to be after the episode wrapped. I also helped design the set and the various aspects of it.
