Excited to share another commercial airing this week, featuring NFL players filmed right here on campus! Production turned our Studio B apartment set into an apartment fit to host a podcast. Check out some BTS snaps of the commercial set - which was fitted with their furniture and compare it to our normal Studio B set up for our classes and productions (fourth slide)!

Special thanks again to current student freelancer Sean Thrunk and MSU alum freelancer Johan Alzate for assisting BMO in overseeing the production.

Huge shoutout to all the SCM practicum students from the FMTV program that got to help for this one - Jada Adams, Elisabeth Hull, Zack Kovacs, Jude Ndubisi Okonne, Daniel Ortiz, Margot Pultar, Riley Roman, and Diego Caamano.

And of course, thank you again to for taking the time to chat with our dedicated students on set!

At the beginning of this semester, we started holding workshops in the studios and control rooms. Students can use this time to become more familiar in each position for their classes and get a refresher in some of the different areas.

Workshops include studio based tech outs for audio, camera, jib camera, shading, prompter, server, switcher, and graphics.

Coming up, we have a Videndum Tech workshop!

If students miss the workshops, they can watch video tutorials of each tech-out on the microsite.📺🎥📸🎞️🎬
