SUSUtv Co-Head of Production Manifesto

No Comments

The past year has been amazing experience. SUSUtv has grown in size, quality, technology and members. Every single person has something to be proud of, though it’s the content that we produce that makes us who we are. The role of Co-Head of Production requires someone committed, dedicated and willing to organise and help others produce the best student television we can offer. I believe I already am this person.

Together with Carly Brown, who I do hope gets elected as the other Co-Head Production, we have both had experience in editing and producing our own shows, supporting other shows and ideas, directing and vision mixing live broadcasts… and generally being incredibly involved over the past year with the current committee.

I can assure you that with Carly and I as production heads, the dream team, SUSUtv will continue to thrive on stunning student programming of both original content and video coverage of SUSU events. We will also be friendly and approachable, allowing all students – particularly next years freshers – to come forward with their ideas, and putting them into practice. Let’s look forward to even more awards at the NaSTA 2012 award ceremony, and with any luck bring it back to SUSU for 2013!

Any questions? Get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any queries. See you all at the AGM tomorrow!

Here is a long awaited blog post…

I should really update this more often. Lame.

Oh well, exciting stuff to come – I am indeed going to finally start a small part time web design role fairly soon – I can’t wait! Just waiting for busy work times here at university to be over.. then I’m making the site (looks HOT so far!) to go up and it goes from there!

Some techy opinions of recent:

  • my dream video camera: Canon 7D (tried one of these suckers the other day and they are AMAZING!)
  • live vision mixing is FUN
  • The iPad 2 seems completely and utterly pointless in every single way possible, especially when Apple call it “completely redesigned” when it looks EXACTLY THE SAME
  • gotten myself a lush 1080i external monitor for my MacBook Pro
  • quickly picking up and learning Motion (part of Final Cut Studio) which is so unbelieveably amazing I quite often pee myself just a tad when something hot is made

Other updates worth a mention:

  • my father is now engaged… totally making what will be a brilliant wedding video for him… look out for that round about June/July 2012
  • Petty Crimes Episode 2 is coming soon
  • Heading to the National Student Television Awards (NaSTA’s) in April… thats gunna be incredible
  • Heading Newquay at the weekend for a bit of surfing funtimes
  • Life is awesome
  • I wish I had more money to buy a 7D (see above)
  • I write this as procrastination for the three essays that need writing before the end of March

FUN TIMES…

Keyboard Shortcut for the Apple Logo

No Comments

When using Mac OS X, a keyboard shortcut can be used to get the Apple Logo into any text field as a symbolic character. Press:

Option + Shift + K
which gives: 
I found this pretty much by accident, although I have seen other people with this tip, so in no way am I the first, lol.
