The first week of our term-2 Television student projects has been a busy one!
On Tuesday, our first-year production team “Keen-Wa Productions” was shooting a PSA promoting workplace gender equality using our new Sony FS-700 cinema camera, and on Thursday, “4:1 Films” faced the elements as we produced an exterior shoot for a bicycle safety public service announcement.
Only a small part of the production is on-set however; students spend weeks of work planning and preparing these productions! Just showing up to shoot is easy, going fully prepared, and with all of the necessary documentation is a lot of work!
The faculty lectured on Music Videos (with a generous helping of Michael Jackson!), and we demonstrated some of our production gear such as the Jimmy Jib with a remote camera head, and HD field monitors.
Congratulations to BCIT Television’s second-year production company, Insignium Entertainment! Insignium chose to develop a re-creation of “Anchorman” as a part of their term-3 Video Production class.
Following a competition on the website “Funny or Die“, their production was selected to be part of a TBS Fan Night special event airing Sunday, January 12th at 9/8c!

We’re happy to report that the videos from the TEDx RenfrewCollingwood project that we were involved with are now live!

BCIT Television & Video Production was fortunate to have Shannon McGinn spend some time discussing the challenges and adventures of reality television production with our students!
Ms. McGinn has produced The Amazing Race (US), and has been working both as a Creative Director for The Amazing Race Canada, and more recently on the upcoming fantasy-reality competition “The Quest“, which will premiere next year.
On Sunday, November 17th, BCIT Television & Video Production teamed up with Shaw Cable to produce a broadcast of the BCHL Coquitlam Express Junior “A” Hockey team as they hosted the Victoria Grizzlies. Employees of Shaw Cable, as well as BCIT faculty were on-hand to support our second-year students as they worked on this production, which will be broadcast this Sunday, November 24th at 12 noon on Shaw!
