TV STUDIO 1

I've been spending quite a bit of time in the all new TV studio in the Redmonds building.

So far I've taken part in a series of workshops getting to grips with some new equipment, completed a live TV studio recording excercise and I am currently working on a pilot lunchtime show to be pitched to Channel 4 as part of my course.

I am told that the new TV studio is the best in the country and from what I've learned so far, utilising this space is proving to be quite an exciting experience.

Although quite daunting at first, I am getting my head around all of the new equipment.  I have had my first experience of vision mixing up in the gallery and I am becoming more and more familiar with crabbing, craning, panning and zooming. 

I am finding the new challenge of Studio recording to be quite a different experience to that of field camera work and on location shooting and I am comfortable working within both the live studio environment and outside recording.

I've completed another lighting workshop as part of the BEYOND THE CAMERA module, which concentrated on green screen technology and chroma keying using adobe creative suite 5.

I'm looking forward to continuing to build upon these skills with more practical work and hope to use After Effects again soon, in order to bring some of my still compositions to life.
