(Note: No students were blinded in the making of this science, but it was the best title I could come up with … The only other option was trying to find something that rhymed with “Bill Nye the Science Guy”)
So what’s this about Science? We had the opportunity to take our production on the road and head down to the Telus World of Science to do a live production of their Centre Stage science education show.
This was our first live event production using the new Broadcast Pix production flypack that we’ve been introducing the students to this semester (check the blog history for info on our practise events back at the school).
We are actively looking for projects that students can produce with our equipment to get additional production experience. If you have a project you’d like to submit, please feel free to contact us.
Details:
- 4 camera shoot (2 x Sony DSR 370, 1 x Sony DSR 400, 1 x Panasonic AG-DVX100BP)
- Broadcast Pix Slate 100 Flypack
- Crew (15 students, 3 Instructors)
- Load-in 10:30, Full Facs 12:45, Showtime 15:20, Wrap 16:00
I have linked a copy of our SW Technical Production Manual that includes some project planning details for aspiring production staff out there (some contact information has been removed for privacy reasons).
We expect students to provide this type of documentation (and more!) when planning their projects.

Our last two productions for this term took place this week – it would have been nice to have a bit more warm weather in the forecast (considering both productions had exterior components), however rain or shine, we got it done!
First off on Tuesday was a spot for helping asthma sufferers using the “Buteyko Breathing Method“, where a couple spending a nice warm summer day in the park deals with an asthma attack using a special breathing technique.
On Thursday we made our way to Tsawwassen and onto the Boundary Bay beach to shoot a commercial for Kayotics Skimboards. Our actor made a fairly quick transition from his day-to-day work in a cubicle to a more exciting work locale.
Our commercial productions this week fell into two categories: Cleaning Products and Drinking Products.
First up was SoftMoc shoe cleaner. Shot in-studio and on location, showing the product and giving an example of the real-world messes it might have to clean up!
Next was a commercial for Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey – illustrating the hazards of attempting a romantic encounter when alcohol is involved…

Thursday’s shoot was on-location in New Westminster with a commercial for the “Old Spaghetti Factory”.
Some of our second-year students showed up with a bit of HD production gear to shoot behind the scenes video for use in a promotional video which should be showing up in a few weeks.
First commercial production today for our first-year students. Check out the gallery for more behind-the-scenes photos.
This year, the first 8 of our commercials will be SD shoots, then moving to HD for the second 8!
We are going on-location Thursday, should be fun!
