Behind the Scenes of High School TV News: The Broadcast

The staff at the Current OC pull back the curtains to give viewers an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes. Watch these young professionals work together in real-time as they create an episode of their television newscast and then follow their journey at www.oc-tv.org

Wow. This high school operation is better than most commercial television stations lol

[@Censtudios]

I see a lot of points for improvement 🙈, but it does look impressive for a high school production. Great way to learn the craft

[@christopherbernhardt]

Great way to improve and get good

How did you guys afford all the equipment. My school has nothing like this

[@universenerdd]

My middle school has one broken camera, one working camera, a teleprompter, a tablet that displays the script as a reflection of the camera, and the technical side is dominated by newtek tricaster. I don’t care that much. Personally I love it because it helps me know how to use equipment. At first tech seemed overwhelming but now I can recognize how to use the high school equipment, which is donated by the local news station.

I wish I had this type of setup at my school. I am the director and just set up a system with an old audio mixer, a four track video mixer and 2 sony handycams. This looks like heaven.

[@pointlessrandom7619]

that was my middle school new crew

[@giannramirez4820]

This is so cool! Great job. Wish my high school had something like this when I was there. Now I get my practice from my local Church, camera operating, video directing and editing.

[@ElijahCiali]

Churches are pretty underrated for how many broadcast/production careers they start

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

I wish my college had something like this... and I went to Emerson.

[@chrissyria2376]

This is so much more impressive than the high school news experience I got back in 2006-2008. We did a completely non-linear production workflow, because there was zero chance we were serious enough to actually do it live. I still remember those times we were counting seconds to air hoping for the show to finish rendering in time.

[@shawvercreations9703]

I think that you guys did an excellent job!!! I do live broadcast sports and you guys are headed for a great career!

[@williammcfarlane4681]

I just found this piece...in 2021...Well done....what a great program usually offered only in post secondary institutions in Canada....I was very very impressed. Cheers.

[@angusrhodes9003]

THIS IS SICK i live in Australia and high schools don’t do this sort of thing but if they did I would love to be a news presenter

[@Thaliaturceno]

WOW!!! super duper great job guys!!!! Great equipment. Wish we had that kind of equipment and all back in college. The teamwork is superb!!!

[@Xhayla-uf3ip]

I really like the constant updates and the professionalism

[@Anonymous_Frog257]

You guys! This is amazing! You all did an amazing job with this.

[@JamesTomlinson2]

Great stuff as a Director you all are doing a great job!!

[@gbogboadeayomide6349]

very inspiring....thanks for the behind the scene

[@WhitfieldProductionsTV]

I remember 21 years ago, when we was doing everything, amiga with a video toaster doing all the over lays and graphics, vhs machines, teleprompter that was an old tv.

[@muhindoromano8942]

Oh my God!!! This is amazing, everyone is on point. Soon, I'm establishing my own TV network and hope to get a team like this.

[@edwardmuchiri769]

will you employ me sir,kindly

[@vazdabilo6983]

if you need audio operator am willing to work

[@stevecooksley]

Wow - great setup. I hope everyone in this is on a rota and gets to work on different aspects of production for each broadcast. It really helps in the professional world if you have experience of all areas of production, even if you aren't interested in certain aspects, as you will understand the difficulties and challenges of lighting, sound, graphics and floor work. I'm quite jealous!

[@CekalaStudios]

I hate how my school has the ability to do live broadcast, but they don't do it. It's very good to know how to do live. But no! They have a very expensive switcher, but never use it. My school is Camden County Technical School in Gloucester Township.

[@alexf4500]

I’m in a live broadcast program at my school, and trust me it’s so much easier and looks much better not live

[@timmyc9915]

Well, your school most likely don’t have enough students to man the switcher and to be the news anchor, so they don’t. It’s ok though; my school doesn’t even have these too. >:[

[@ken-ky9zn]

The director did a fantastic job.........i am thrilled

[@crazyt1483]

It’s really interesting how similar yet different it is over the pond. For at least a regional tv station, the talkback/gallery prompts it’s pics up when a package or ulay is to play. As soon as a package plays the person on timing calculates drop/gain and adds/subtracts that from good byes / tease so if you came out late you might say “dropped 5, 25 on goodbye”. The person on sound will also look at program and when both the package plays and all mics are down will announce clear (and when doing a live it’s always disable studio presenter talkback and then “ok [live presenter] your clear”) When coming to the studio it’s coming back on [number] in [countdown] and after the transition we use “on you” to prompt the presenter to start talking Something that surprised me is the Aston’s weren’t baked onto packages we have the names always backed onto packages

[@CreativoErratico]

When I went to school you could either become an architect, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer or a psychologist. I always envied this type of school system where you can learn the basics + whatever you want. I now work as a translator, photographer and editor, with an engineering degree that I'll never use.

[@GreenLeafCityVideoGaming]

*This is AWESOME!*

[@coolkoreamag]

AMAZING job everyone, as a teacher I would love to do this at the two high schools I work at.

[@CoopyKat]

VERY impressive! The only thing I would change is make the two young anchors smile....it will make them relax.

[@mrsmundenusd495LarnedKS]

Would love to know your breakdown of equipment and models of everything you use. Starting a new program in KS. Also, would love to know how you funded it all. Thanks and nice setup!

[@tenaciousviking]

Huge props to the director! This feels like textbook Zettl production.

We love your video! Would it be okay if we post this on our education video solutions website page?

[@negativeanthony]

I didn't have a course like this when I was a young buck. I had to go to either college or a private school to study film/TV production.

[@mikeyangelo4374]

your school morning show: $30k Budget my school morning show: $0.10 Budget

[@thomaskerrigan3244]

30K barely covers the cost their switcher. I'd guess their total value is somewhere close to the $150K-$200k + range.

[@bernhardmeier7567]

My school doesn’t even have one

[@jordanhenshaw]

That's a f**k ton more than 30k.

[@jordanhenshaw]

@@thomaskerrigan3244 I could probably get a system up and running with the same basic functionality for 35-40k, but it wouldn't look anything like that behind the scenes. You don't need a 2 m/e switcher for that. Only using one Chroma key keyer and one DSK. Everything else is just switching between 5 cameras and a media player. I'd like to know how that screen behind the desk on set works though. You don't need beefed up tripods or expensive cameras. Everything on that set (except for that giant screen) could be reproduced with maybe 15k. 5k to cameras, 1 per camera, and 10k to all the supporting equipment like cords, converters, monitors, teleprompters, and lights. I'd say probably 35-40k. The equipment cost is the smallest of hurdles. The real difficulty is organizing everything.

[@boardingurban]

Great Budget!

[@samuelagueroalvarado8405]

Awesome !

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

Forget the virtual sets and control room- when you have graphics and especially weather graphics... it is real!

In the Philippines its barely to have this equipment for broadcasting

What video mixer/ switching software are they using?

It is a BroadcastPix Granite

Not a huge fan of the switching console or the broadcast mixer used here. I prefer Avantis with DLive for any audio op like this. Also, what desk is used in the LAV?

Actually if you look in the intro it says it’s on Tuesdays and Fridays and 7 pm so this may be a boarding school and this shows after classes. Also if it is a boarding school it would explain the funding for the set and equipment as most public schools don’t have that kind of funding
