MediaVision recently hosted 52 talented students and three staff members from the North Royalton Middle School morning announcement crew! The program director of the announcement crew mentioned that it's usually tough to get a club of their size invited to production facilities around town. However, MediaVision welcomed the team with open arms and divided the kids into three groups, rotating them through the production space. Mike Becher (Lead Digital Video Specialist) showed the students the control room, highlighting the different camera feeds, how to cut shows, and how to integrate the announcers. By encouraging kids to volunteer at the sound board, Mike demonstrated what it would be like to be a part of a game broadcast.
Noah Sitch (Assistant Digital Video Specialist) then led the students through the Tech Core area at MediaVision, showcasing the purpose-built BigFoot fiber transmission stations. These are essential to forming the signals from DeSanto Field and allowing the team to broadcast from the control room. Having recently managed the challenging task of balancing all the cameras used in the CWRU commencement broadcast, Noah offered valuable insights and answered technical questions. MediaVision had field cameras set up in the area, allowing the students to experience both being on camera and operating the equipment.
Jake Kovitz (Asst. Digital Video Post-Production Specialist) was in charge of the studio groups where the main set, green screen, and teleprompter were used to demonstrate how the team gets the coaches' interviews ready before game day. Jake covered how MediaVision uses the various areas of the studio and explained which space is best suited for each unique project. Jake did a fantastic job guiding the students and highlighting what was most effective.
The group toured the facilities for about an hour. The students enjoyed the tour and the chance to explore MediaVision's space!
"It was awesome. Thanks so much for your flexibility. We truly appreciate it!"
