Our New HD Studio at Ocean Campus

PA Lil' V knows many of you are interested about our new HD video production studio at the CCSF Ocean Campus, so here is a little info about our new studio. The production studio is located inside the Art Extension Building of the CCSF Ocean Campus, and it has become the home of IDTV since January of this year. Our new studio is equipped with all new technologies, including three new HD studio cameras, three new and powerful computers for HD video editing and effects, new Chyron Character Generator, new server as well as new "Ross" HD switcher.

Remember, the auditions for new hosts will be on February 23 & 25!

Getting Ready For Our First Interview Assignment

Everything is getting closer and closer, this Friday will be our production date of our first interview assignment. PA Lil' V and everyone in the IDTV team were working hard to get ready, setting up the cameras, and more importantly, figuring out how to use the switcher and how to export video to the server. This will be our first working project since we moved into the new HD studio, and it should be our good opportunity to practice before the auditions. It's now only two weeks until auditions, we have to get the overall ideas on those new equipment, and working together with better understanding. Lots of things working on, but PA Lil'V believe that we could have the best IDTV show this year! PA Lil' V and the entire IDTV team did it last year, so will be this year! Come on!

All right, PA Lil' V will have some behind the scenes videos for the interview assignment this Friday. Meanwhile, we give you a few nice pictures and videos of our preparation today. If you or your friends are interested to be on camera, be sure to come to our auditions for host on February 23 and 25, the poster / flyer has been posted on this blog and available around the campus, you can grab one for more details. You can always send an email to mishavideo@gmail.com for any question you may have.

Hi everyone!

Hi! My name is PA Lil' V, and welcome all of you to visit our new blog - IDTV Show PA Notebook!

For those of you don't know what is IDTV, let me explain here. So IDTV is a series of 30 minutes with 3 television episodes produced by the advanced broadcast students at City College Of San Francisco. Our mission is to compellingly inform and entertain viewers on issues related to City College Of San Francisco from the unique perspectives of its diverse students. Our IDTV show will also be aired on Comcast Cable Channel 27 & 75 in San Francisco, (Show date and time TBD) and you can also watch our show online via our Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/ccsfbroadcast.

All right, let me talk a little bit how this blog works. As the name suggests, this is a blog for me to share the news regarding our production progress of the IDTV show, as well as my insight. From time to time, I'll post updates on this blog, upload photos and / or videos of our progress, so you can always get the latest from me. Not just our show updates, but I'll also post something funny of our production team. :D You are also welcome to post your comments and / or questions to my blog, but only one simply rule: Do not use any lewd language, be respectful.

That's the short introduction of our blog... Wait, I forgot to introduce myself here. I'm PA Lil' V, I'm not a real PA, but I love to be named that way. I'm one of the IDTV show production team members as of this year, and I have been hanging out in the CCSF Broadcast Electronic Media Arts Department for years. I almost took all the courses in their department but I still want to be there. Do you think I'm loyal?

All right, that's what I have for today. Our production team will meet again on this Wednesday, and I'll post any update then.
