Media Production in July

  • • 8 hours of consultations with faculty in Dyson, Education, Health, Law, and Pace Online.
  • • 4 videos produced (91 minutes total) and 24 videos edited for courses in Education, Health, Law, and Pace Online.

Updates and Highlights

July was lighter production month, but that allowed for several technical and creative projects:

  • • Assembly and integration of a new workstation. With planning underway for an expanded OLC footprint in Pleasantville, we are experimenting with cutting-edge media production technologies. This station is a hybrid between our two current production options: 1) the classroom studio supported with the TriCaster, and 2) our iMac-centered editing suites. An ideal combination would offer the professionalism of the TriCaster with with the flexibility of a “self-shot” station built around the OBS video application. With “live switching” for multiple video sources and live mixing for multiple audio sources, this station could also be used for sophisticated live online teaching.

  • The “pilot” workstation is under development. Testing includes ease-of-use, flexibility, and new equipment integration possibilities.
  • • Green screen postproduction was completed on Brian’s interview with Professor Rolandi. This multi-camera interview introduces Steve and his work in public administration. The technical challenge was shooting the interview before choosing green screen plates. This year we will build a Pace-themed library of useful backgrounds for use with the green screen.

Professor Sophie Kaufman is creating a series of videos on mindfulness for the College of Health Professions. Her goal is for all Pace students and staff to have access to resources for bringing “mindfulness practice” into our lives.
