God it’s been a long time since I posted on here, check out Rave on Air 2008. This year my role was to direct the link show, a T4 style show that runs throughout the day introducing all the programmes and content. It also went out LIVE over the internet and on our own freeview channel across Chislehurst and Bromley.
Here is a video that I had commissioned for the link show to sum up the whole day.
The Video for the Stage by Stage is soon to follow as soon as they have been received from the editor,
but as I was sound mixer for the show on Monday I thought I might as well post something a little different.
This is the Mix from Monday’s shoot. We prerecorded the girls all singing with the Keyboard so that they didn’t have to dance and sing at the same time, which would have been almost impossible to achieve as they would have been moving to much.
I used a Sure VP88 Stereo Mic to record the singers, which I positioned around the Microphone in a semi-circle, then added some Reverb so it didn’t sound to dry, A friend of mine observed the mic and described it as Ugly, I replied with ‘But it sure makes a great sound’. See what you think!
These MP3’s are scaled down from the original WAV files but they are still in Stereo (320kps) so you can still get the full effect.
The 2nd year Broadcasters (thats me) are tested each year on their practical Skills they have learnt at Ravensbourne.
This script is designed to capture the attention of students looking to come to Ravensbourne, and shows off some of the features they will learn about while they are here.
This Camera, Lighting Sound Practical Test is the 3rd of a number of takes.
All Cameras, Sound and Lights have been setup up by students of the Broadcast operations and Production Course.
Directed by David Crossman a Second Year Tutor.
On this show I was the Vision Mixer, which is my first time as most people tend to want to vision mix.
Finally the Musical Feast’s have started.
Our First week we kicked off with ‘Jimmy Orr‘
Second Week we had ‘Sentido‘
Third Week we had ‘Bill Rebel‘
Click here for more videos from Musical Feast on youtube
Next term after the “Power Up” project (Your Shout), we fill the rest of term two with “Musical Feast” where musical artists - singers - come to the studio and perform 2 or 3 numbers with a backing instrumentalist or two.
To make it more visually interesting this year, we’d like to integrate dance as much as possible.
Have a look at this Josh Groban video for a few ideas of what we would like:

Hi all,
Today we were joined by some fellow acting students looking to broaden their horizons and move more into TV drama.
As always I was there operating cameras and directing. I also had a go at floor managing for the first time, Surprisingly, I rather enjoyed it…
I couldn’t miss this opertunity to take my camera aswell. Hope you enjoy the photos I put up. Cropped to 16:9 to look like television…
Taken with my Canon 350d and 70-300mm Lens, Tungsten CT setting, (M), f.4, S.100.
Some un-cropped portrait shots:
Here is a you tube video of a show i directed at Ravensbourne College.
Directing requires one to capture the shots and get the audience to understand the concept of a programme. e.g. How it works and to look at the right people at the right moment.
Sorry it’s been so long since I have posted a video. I’ve been having a great time now that i’m in my second year at Ravensbourne. I’ll post something new soon.
