Charles ate 8 hot dogs on this shoot

Posted: 11:15 AM ET

Saturday shoot at Turner Field

How do you know if it's going to rain in Atlanta? Find out if "News To Me" is shooting that day. Our past 3 out of 4 shoots have been either threatened by or completely changed due to spring showers. We ALMOST skipped last weekend's planned location due to weather but ultimately the skies cleared and we spent an awesome day at Turner Field, Home of YOUR Atlanta Braves!

In the photo above, that's Coordinating Producer Mike in the purple shirt lookin all producery with his ball cap, head set, walkie talkie, official CNN issue blackberry and cup of coffee. Not sure what he's pointing at... probably Eric.

Speak of the devil... there's Mr. Lanford in the pic below preparing to shoot his first lead in the dugout. Producer Aaron is down in there with him holding a thing called a FlexFill... which is a big, round, flexible reflector that we use to shine extra light on whatever we're shooting. We MAY have some funny video of Aaron trying to put the flexfil away coming up... stay tuned for that.

We're a pretty compact crew as far as TV production is concerned... check the pic below, that's Teague our cameraman/editor/producer behind the camera. Producer (and hot dog glutton) Charles with the umbrella and our Turner Broadcasting audio guy Gerald.

Tune in this weekend to see how it all looks on TV!
