This kid has a future in production, if he wants it. Smart, able to work with what he has, and willing to work hard and learn. and THAT is big deal in this life.
I’m impressed on your set up. Im a Director at a news station in Charlotte. This kid seems very knowledgeable. What is he interested in? Directing or engineering?
Alex Pineyro thanks, I'm going to Ball State University to major in digital sports production. I'm hoping to be directing sports which is one of the main things I do now at lttv
I was planning on going to sports, I’ve been working in news for 3 years now. Did a lot a freelance in NYC. Good luck in the future. Seems like you got promise, if you’ve ever wanted to move to Florida after college I got some connects there and at my station here in Charlotte. I always look to help newbies out. Pay it forward and what not. I wouldn’t be where I am if someone didn’t help me
@@Snooparcade ah damn, hope you’ve found a better college. Indiana State is where I went and honestly I’m glad I decided to do that. Picking a school can be fuckin tough
This is an excellent opportunity for those kids to practice editing, framing and all .. and also to discover D&D and tabletop gaming with friends. I really like the initiative, Bill .. keep them coming!
Oh, that's so great! If possible, these videos could come after certain episodes of the campaign, so we can follow recording, editing... Ya know, the whole BTS process
Holy cow! Y'all have some serious cameras to work with. When I was in high school the department that had anything to do with creating anything with a camera had 1, singular, 1 camera that shot film only. We would have enjoyed shooting with a video camera but the school didn't have the budget for that at all.
Very cool, makes me appreciate this show on a whole 'nother level. Just the time and attention it takes to produce it. Also, this is amazing for a high school program...I wish my high school had something like this when I was in school. He's learning so much and seems very enthusiastic about what he's doing and learning. Going to have a leg up on some people if he decides to continue it on into college. I just love what you're doing for these kids, Bill.
This reminds me of the studio room we had at my high school. Really makes me miss my digital media class, and the radio production class. If I understand correctly, the digital media program was cancelled shortly after I graduated, which sucks- it was one of the more interesting and useful classes offered... And now, thinking about it is put me in a melancholy.
Great video and good job all! Very impressed with the students involved with this. BTW, Bill, I'm chuckling over the missing items. Classic issue in any classroom, but at least mine were books.
As a complete novice to video production I was overwhelmed in the first review of this episode. I'm hoping subsequent viewings will help me understand it better. The student is obviously highly experienced with 1000s of hours and over 400 productions. I'd prefer a slower presentation from the student with more detail explanations of the equipment. Pros/Cons of the gear and techniques used. More info particular units or setups would be of interest to me. I'd very much like to see an episode of "how to set up your home for a live game or recorded session" as an instructional video production of an RPG. I am more than jealous of what students have available in some schools systems these days. I remember when black light and strobe lights were the hot items. LOL ! Keep on producing content and I'm enjoying getting to see this work.
Was this LTTV a private company, was it some sort of high school club or what? There was an ungodly amount of gear and workstations there, seems to me like it was a hobbyist like film production company? Sorry I really don't know the details...
LTTV is the high school television station. And yes, we are truly blessed with incredible equipment and facilities. But more than just having the equipment, we USE it, producing hundreds of programs and projects every year. I worked professionally in both film and television in the late 90s and early 2000s, before going back to school to get my teaching certificate. I started teaching in 2006, inheriting a legacy program and building / improving it continuously for my students.
@@BillAllanWorld Wow, thank you for responding! So a high school tv station giving the students opportunities to expand their horizons and be involved in producing media, that sounds fantastic! It does seem you worked a lot in media production, your experience shows it right away while watching those dnd campaigns with students and these behind the scenes episodes haha. You don't always find people/teachers with such a "let's do it" / "why not" type of attitude who want to bring the best out of people/students and give them opportunities to better themselves but when you do it's such an amazing feeling, and I think it's the same in your case as well :) It's really great what you did/are doing, inspiring even, so... thank you, man!

What kind of Highschool has this kind of equipment?! I’m slightly jealous
Right, lol. All of the clubs at the high school I went to had no funding except for sports, but even then almost only football.
And he's in highschool?!!
You should try to make an agreement with the school and monetize this channel. Reinvesting that money into the media program would be a game changer.
wtf... thats some SERIOUS equipment. Im a film maker and I would have loved this in school.

This was very interesting to see what happens behind the scenes. Great job!
This was quite interesting.

That’s a lot of high quality equipment for a high school.
Thanks. We work hard for it.
awesome! can't wait for episode 1
fantastic setup. Thanks for the bts!
god damnit Paul!
I could never believe a highschool could have such equipment :o You guys are so lucky! Btw, what camera did you use to record this video?
Go Paul!!
This IS awesooooomee!
But too expensive!

@@nrares21 Thanks for the compliments. I have strived to make the program challenging but fun, like the real world of film & television.
