V-VarsityPlayed a vital part in this award winning, completely

student-produced live show. As VT-Op on the night, was responsible for playing all VTs/straplines and co-ordinating with Vision-Mixing team to prepare and play out replays during the game. Didn’t sleep for over 40 hours!

Designed all of the graphics seen right, and the DVD cover seen below.

Also responsible for putting together the Promotional Video for the game, which was shown both on-line and on Freewire prior to the game. The promo was later adapted to form the Title Sequence.

The show was viewed by 1500 individual connections from across the JANET network and the internet beyond. Figures for Freewire are unknown, but estimates during the show suggested we were more popular than several high-profile mainstream television stations.

Though not integral to the overall planning and development of the show, was key to the development of the station’s replay system, and semi-transparent chroma-keying.

The show has won national recognition through the JANET Magazine, and was recently awarded a RAM Award for ‘Best Team’ and a ‘Presidents ***’ Award at the Loughborough Students’ Experience Awards. This award recognises a one-off event which has had a substantial positive impact on university life at Loughborough.

And Loughborough won!!

Proposals For Media Centre Development

Implementation of The VersionCue CS3 WorkflowAllows Label to be constructed •in a substantially more efficient fashion.Simply requires implementation •of software we already possess. Will require a small amount of •server space, or a dedicated Mac to run VersionCueServer. Media volunteers will hence be trained on industry standard print and •publishing technology as used in many professional design houses.Should remove chance of lost links.•Takes a little more maintainance and care from users, but end result will •be quicker and easier to achieve.

Implementation of Apple QMasterAllows distributed processing across the network.•Can speed up export process by several times. •Connected to all Media Computers.•Uses any spare processor time to render video. •Attempts have been made to set up QMaster before, •but professional guidance is perhaps needed to achieve optimum settings for our setup.Will be especially beneficial with .flv format •requirements of new website.Again, implementation of existing software.•

Making Better Use Of CreativeSuiteEncourage people to show off their work in the creative suite •- and use it to edit.Install existing and acquire new soft/hardware to make CS •usable by all 4 sections.Install appropriate patches to allow Aura & LCR to edit in that •room.Implement an imformal booking system for edit •suites.Tidy up existing equipment and rack-mount •amplifiers/audio equipment.

Aquisition of Network Attached Storage or Dedicated Media ServerHosts all files in one •place for LSUTV, LCR and Label. Vast amount of storage •capacity.Quicker file acquisition •over network. LSUTV: Improved •export system which will monopolise only one computer at a time for the export process. Currently two or more can be monopolised as FCP takes up their processor time for file acquisition.LCR: Will allow substantially easier update of Sustain playout server. •Label: Will facilitate smooth operation of Version Cue Server•Existing hardware (External HDDs etc.) can be dismantled for benefit of FS•
