This is going to be a slightly graphics-intensive update, we’ve been busy…
We haven’t posted any updates for a bit, because we’ve been CRAZY BUSY (well, that and Spring Break!). In the last three weeks we’ve been producing student commercials at:
- TAZ Comics
- Gracie Barra Ju Jitsu
- Big Pete’s Collectibles
- Steel Toad Brewing
- Bikes on the Drive
- Soft Peaks Ice Cream
And we’d like to thank all of these local businesses for allowing our students to practice their production skills! There have been lots of great learning experiences, including how to deal with Lower Mainland weather when shooting exteriors (bring rain gear, stay warm, craft services coffee), how to deal with unplanned power outages in your studio (commandeer an instructor’s office with windows), and how to shoot in a collectibles shop, when your crew and instructors are geeking-out over all of the goodies (limit the amount of spending money you bring!).
Only a few weeks of the term left before we switch into “Practicum Mode”, where our Television & Video Production students work with the Broadcast & Online Journalism students to create our weekly BCIT Magazine newscast!
And as always, the full sets of images from our location productions can be found on our Flickr album!
Our second PSA production this week is for Charity Intelligence Canada.
Just as a financial analyst researches potential stocks to find the best investment opportunities, Charity Intelligence uses similar research methods to find exceptional charities for donors. Charity Intelligence also helps donors create a balanced giving portfolio to best reflect their giving interests and the change they hope to achieve. As a result, donors have the tools they need to give better and get higher returns on their donations – donations based on evidence.

The first PSA production this week is for the “Gwatermala” Run for H2O. We take easy access to clean drinking water for granted, and not everyone has the luxury of just turning on a tap inside their house…

Our first-year Television & Video Production students have just started their first group projects this year, 30 second PSAs for local community and charity groups!
This Tuesday we were at the Kitsilano Community Center for a short production illustrating how people from every walk of life can come together to contribute in their community.
Be sure to check back often, as we will be shooting two PSAs every week for the next four weeks, taking a short break, then coming back to start production on 30 second client projects.

And…. We’re back! Groups of our first-year students got on the HD camera packages last week for some initial training!
For the full gallery, be sure to check out the Flickr Photo Set (under Photos & Video above). We upload throughout the term!
Adding a whole bunch of set photos from our first-year PSA productions to our Flickr account. Take a quick look here, then head over for the full set!
