My middle school has one broken camera, one working camera, a teleprompter, a tablet that displays the script as a reflection of the camera, and the technical side is dominated by newtek tricaster. I don’t care that much. Personally I love it because it helps me know how to use equipment. At first tech seemed overwhelming but now I can recognize how to use the high school equipment, which is donated by the local news station.
I wish I had this type of setup at my school. I am the director and just set up a system with an old audio mixer, a four track video mixer and 2 sony handycams. This looks like heaven.
This is so much more impressive than the high school news experience I got back in 2006-2008. We did a completely non-linear production workflow, because there was zero chance we were serious enough to actually do it live. I still remember those times we were counting seconds to air hoping for the show to finish rendering in time.
This is so cool! Great job. Wish my high school had something like this when I was there. Now I get my practice from my local Church, camera operating, video directing and editing.
I just found this piece...in 2021...Well done....what a great program usually offered only in post secondary institutions in Canada....I was very very impressed. Cheers.
I remember 21 years ago, when we was doing everything, amiga with a video toaster doing all the over lays and graphics, vhs machines, teleprompter that was an old tv.
I hate how my school has the ability to do live broadcast, but they don't do it. It's very good to know how to do live. But no! They have a very expensive switcher, but never use it. My school is Camden County Technical School in Gloucester Township.
Well, your school most likely don’t have enough students to man the switcher and to be the news anchor, so they don’t. It’s ok though; my school doesn’t even have these too. >:[
When I went to school you could either become an architect, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer or a psychologist. I always envied this type of school system where you can learn the basics + whatever you want. I now work as a translator, photographer and editor, with an engineering degree that I'll never use.

Wow - great setup. I hope everyone in this is on a rota and gets to work on different aspects of production for each broadcast. It really helps in the professional world if you have experience of all areas of production, even if you aren't interested in certain aspects, as you will understand the difficulties and challenges of lighting, sound, graphics and floor work. I'm quite jealous!
@@thomaskerrigan3244 I could probably get a system up and running with the same basic functionality for 35-40k, but it wouldn't look anything like that behind the scenes. You don't need a 2 m/e switcher for that. Only using one Chroma key keyer and one DSK. Everything else is just switching between 5 cameras and a media player. I'd like to know how that screen behind the desk on set works though. You don't need beefed up tripods or expensive cameras. Everything on that set (except for that giant screen) could be reproduced with maybe 15k. 5k to cameras, 1 per camera, and 10k to all the supporting equipment like cords, converters, monitors, teleprompters, and lights. I'd say probably 35-40k. The equipment cost is the smallest of hurdles. The real difficulty is organizing everything.
Not a huge fan of the switching console or the broadcast mixer used here. I prefer Avantis with DLive for any audio op like this. Also, what desk is used in the LAV?
It’s really interesting how similar yet different it is over the pond. For at least a regional tv station, the talkback/gallery prompts it’s pics up when a package or ulay is to play. As soon as a package plays the person on timing calculates drop/gain and adds/subtracts that from good byes / tease so if you came out late you might say “dropped 5, 25 on goodbye”. The person on sound will also look at program and when both the package plays and all mics are down will announce clear (and when doing a live it’s always disable studio presenter talkback and then “ok [live presenter] your clear”) When coming to the studio it’s coming back on [number] in [countdown] and after the transition we use “on you” to prompt the presenter to start talking Something that surprised me is the Aston’s weren’t baked onto packages we have the names always backed onto packages
Would love to know your breakdown of equipment and models of everything you use. Starting a new program in KS. Also, would love to know how you funded it all. Thanks and nice setup!
Thanks, Curt! About 20 students create content like PKGs, VOs, VOSOTs, and scripts as part of this particular class. On show days, they transition to studio roles to put it all together. For many, it's their first production course, so initially, they rotate through all positions to develop technical skills while learning ENG/EFP and the rundown/script software. This helps them understand how each position contributes to the program. If you get a moment, send me an email sometime and I'll share a blast from the past you'll get a kick out of seeing haha!
@@theAVcoach Thanks for the reply! One more question, when students are learning the equipment, do you do show segments other than news? Like an interview, panel discussion, game show, etc? Or do you just stick with news?
@@curt118 In the past we have...we've done round table discussions, interviews, debates...I've pitched the game show concept but we've never tried that one :-)
i had one in junior high school i was in 8th grade i was a video producer we were on the air before the first plane struck the north tower on 9/11/2001 i was 14 at the time the technology sure has changed
What? 11 minutes isn't long enough? Just one less thing that can go wrong: Standby weather camera in 15 seconds, wait a second... Where's the weather girl? What!? Her bus is late? WTF!!! Also having her in the shot allows you to perform the key and ensure she isn't wearing green.
Holly shit first all good production and nice to able to work on this and with this gear as a student. Reallworld experince are the best. But the leader is way to long
I would love to hear about the school gossip. Which teachers are gay, who the cheerleaders are making fun of this week, a satire on the bad cafeteria food, etc. Who is the male anchor dating?
This is like a once a month broadcast, right? There's no way your principal allows you 10 minutes of the entire school's time every day for something that's 80% unrelated to education or relevant pertinent information.
Actually if you look in the intro it says it’s on Tuesdays and Fridays and 7 pm so this may be a boarding school and this shows after classes. Also if it is a boarding school it would explain the funding for the set and equipment as most public schools don’t have that kind of funding

Wow. This high school operation is better than most commercial television stations lol
I see a lot of points for improvement 🙈, but it does look impressive for a high school production. Great way to learn the craft
Great way to improve and get good
ikr
Commercial crew work for money. Students work for true love and passion.
How did you guys afford all the equipment. My school has nothing like this
Government/large organisation sponsorship?

your school morning show: $30k Budget
my school morning show: $0.10 Budget
30K barely covers the cost their switcher. I'd guess their total value is somewhere close to the $150K-$200k + range.
My school doesn’t even have one
That's a f**k ton more than 30k.

It is a BroadcastPix Granite
Interesting channel. It just popped up. You have a new subscriber from Nottingham, England, in the UK.
