Jinder Chalmers, creator of “Combat Hospital” (as well as BCIT Alumni & writing instructor) spent some time with our students this afternoon, answering questions and giving advice on getting a major international TV series off the ground, and the production process necessary to make it successful.
Ms. Chalmers offered an insightful look at the realities of multi-million dollar productions and shared her experiences on the series to an audience students from the Broadcast Department. Information on finding funding sources as well as making the industry connections necessary for success were great discussion topics!
Live via Skype!
Last week was the first time we have used Skype to give us the ability to do “live hits” for our BCIT Magazine live production. Utilizing two laptop computers and a Panasonic DVX-100 camera, we connected our on-air talent to the control room for an insert directly into the show.
With a successful first test, we are raising the bar again this week – for a live hit from Argentina as we cover Canada’s national soccer team playing Argentina’s national team!
