Show Swap

Marks Polakovs:

On 8 February 2024, URY and YSTV held Show Swap, with a range of YSTV shows broadcasting one-off radio editions, while URY shows aired special episodes on YSTV. The show opened with a simulcast of Radio On The TV and TV On The Radio from the YSTV studio, and ended with a simulcast of Untitled.mov and Untitled.ogg from the URY studio. Remarkably, the whole six hour broadcast ran perfectly to time across both stations.

Training Officers

Marks Polakovs: rip

A new role created in the 2023 AGM, split off from the [[Deputy Technical Directors|Deputy Technical Director]] and partly from the [[Heads of Welfare and Training|Head of Welfare and Training]]. The role was a short-lived one, being scrapped a year later in favour of a second [[Equipment Officer]] post, with its training responsibilities instead divided amongst the respective heads of team.

The duties of the Deputy Technical Director are described in [[docs:YSTV_Policy#Non-Committee_Positions|the Policy - Non-Committee Positions]], under point 1. These duties may change at the [[Annual General Meeting]] and so may not fully represent the duties those who historically held the role.

The role was scrapped in the 2023 AGM, with its duties reassigned to the [[Equipment Officer]] and [[Training Officer]] (the latter of which was itself scrapped a year later).

YUMAs

2025-06-15T12:34:21Z

Marks Polakovs: 2025

The YUSU Media Awards (formerly, York University Media Awards), or YUMAs, is the campus media's annual booze filled backslap-athon, first held in 2001. [[Nouse]], [[URY]], [[Vision]], [[Cinematography Society]] and YSTV traditionally took it turns to arrange an awards evening, in which each society gave out their own awards rather than compete against other societies. In YSTV's case, this involved voting on old favourites, such as Best Show, Best Female and the like. Unlike other societies, YSTV members all have a vote on their categories (and indeed the categories chosen), rather than winners being chosen by a select group. In this respect the ceremony is a light-hearted way to end the year often including joke categories, unlike [[NaSTA]].

{{unsure|In recent years}} the YUMAs seem to have turned into more traditional awards, with categories being pre-selected and nominations submitted by societies, with the judging by a group of YUSU staff and students.

===2001===
The first YUMAs, held at {{unsure|Merchant Adventurer's Hall}}.

*Outstanding Production - [[SU Elections 2001]] (beating [[Lazy Lunch]] and [[YSTV-am]]).
*Best Contribution to News and Current Affairs - [[Thea Darricotte]] (beating [[Kerry Beadling]]).
*Outstanding Achievement - [[Matt Hammond]] and [[Kevin Bowman]] for [[SU Elections 2001|Election Night]] graphics system (beating [[Polar vision mixer|Polarvision]] and [[Jenny Gordon]]).
*Best Newcomer - [[Adam Dymond]] (beating [[Chris Thornton]]).
*Lifetime Achievement - [[Matt Hammond]] (beating [[Peter Bowles]] and [[Michael Prior-Jones]]).
*YSTV also won in the inter-society catergory of "Most Glamorous Girls", with [[Nouse]] winning Tidiest Office, [[URY]] winning Best Quotes, [[Cinematography Society]] winning Best Blagging and [[Vision]] inevitably winning Most Controversial.

===2002===
Held at Merchant Adventurer's Hall. Photos can be seen on URY's [[http://ury.york.ac.uk/events/2002/yuma2002/yuma2002_photoindex.php website]].

*Best On-Screen Personality - [[Adam Dymond]] (beating [[Michael Prior-Jones]], [[Rupert Clifford]] and [[Nick Oldham]]).
*Best Newcomer - [[Rob Humphrey]] (beating [[Giles Burdett]]).
*Devotion to YSTV - [[Kevin Bowman]] (beating [[Jenny Gordon]] and [[Michael Prior-Jones]]).
*Lifetime Achievement - [[Jenny Gordon]] (beating [[Thea Darricotte]] and [[Maurice]] the effects unit).

===2003===
Held at The Hilton near Clifford's Tower. After initial discussion in meetings YSTV pulled out after it was realised most of the active members would be immersed in final year exams and practical work the day after the ceremony, and the few who could attend would most probably be ridiculed for the minimal turnout and having to pick up most awards on behalf of others. [[Jonathan Bufton]] did however attend after being nominated for his [[URY]] show.

===2004===
Held at Next Generation Gym, with guest speaker former student and Daily Mail journalist Peter Hitchens. Photos are on YSTV's [[https://ystv.york.ac.uk/fun/archive/yumas04/ website]].

*Best Technical Innovation - [[YSTV Week]] graphics (beating [[Edit PC]], [[Elections 2005|Election Night graphics]], [[Green Screen]] and tally lights).
*Best Presenter - [[Pete Nichols]].
*Best Programme - [[Elections 2004]].
*Best New Programme - [[Solipsism]].
*Overall Contribution - [[Jonathan Bufton]].
*Media Personality Of The Year - [[James Gallagher]] for his work at [[URY]],YSTV and [[Nouse]].

===2005===
Held again at Next Generation Gym. Has a page over at [[http://ury.york.ac.uk/events/2005/yumas/index.php URY]] but as you'd expect is mainly centred around their people.

*Best Presenter - [[Kat Sutton]] (beating [[Pete Nichols]], [[Sarah Richards]], [[Kate Rushworth]] and [[Ben Tattersall-Smith]]).
*Best Behind-The-Scenes Contribution - [[Richard Ash]].
*Best Newcomer - [[Lucy Watkins]].
*Best Show - [[YSTV Week]].
*Best Technical Innovation - ????

===2006===
A "picnic" held at the Quiet Place (and then a Derwent lecture theatre when the rain began) due to late organisation. Has a page of photos including one of the YSTV group over at [[http://ury.york.ac.uk/events/2006/yumas06/index.php URY]]. As a result of the awfulness of that year's event YSTV held their own spoof awards ceremony, the [[FLOPPYs]].

===2007===
Held somewhere in town.
Best Show
Best Newcomer
Best Presenter
Best Behind The Scenes Work
Best Technical Innovation

===2011===
Held in the Ron Cooke Hub, because of the papers' punch-up in YUSU's Courtyard bar after 2010's YUMAs.
*Best Technical Achievement for [[Michael Chislett]]'s [[YSTV 3D|first ever 3D student television in the world]].
::This greatly upset URY's technical team, as they had just spent a whole holiday creating a new digital studio with touch screens and other shiny things. What made this worse was knowing that we had only put around 3 hours of work into making the 3D test footage.
*Best Animation/Graphics with [[Chris Young]]'s [[Roses]] 2011 overlay.

YSTV famously campaigned against the "Society Slut" category with great moral upstanding, as this was not what we believed the YUMAs should be brought to.

===2013===
Held at the Biltmore Bar and Grill. Particularly impressive winning 'Best Illustration' with a regurgitated ident.

*Best Sports Coverage - [[Roses 2013]]
*Best Illustration - [[Ducks 2012]]

===2016===
A small delegation from YSTV ([[Kenric Yuen]], [[Jemma Carr]] and [[Caroline Middleton]]) did go, in spite of our small membership that year.
*Best Event Coverage - [[Futsal]]

===2017===
Organised by [[URY]] last minute and held at Yates in town. YSTV mainly attended for the promise of free food but the the highlights of the evening were The Lemon Press' heckles, £1 pints and [[Edwin Barnes]]' (repeated) dabbing. We also won some awards!
*Best Coverage - [[Roses 2017]]
*Best Entertainment [[Strong and Stable Livestream]]
*Best Newcomer [[Matthew Stratford]]

=== '''2022''' ===

Organised by YUSU and held in the Lounge, the event was hosted by [[Ben Allen]] and [[Matt Ward-Perkins]].

* Media Group of the Year
* Outstanding Achievement - [[Joe Radford]]

* Best Photographer or Videographer - [[Joe Radford]] (Primarily for [[Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister]])
* Best Coverage - [[Roses 2022]]

Untitled.mov was a tech show created by [[Rhys Milling]] in December 2022. It features behind-the-scenes information from recent productions, as well as recurring segments such as Tech News of the Week, Standard of the Week and Show And Tell. From Season 3, [[Jamie Parker-East]] acted as showrunner, with [[Kory Anderson]] serving as a producer and recurring guest, and a rotating cast of guests from across YSTV (and student media more broadly).

Its final episode on YSTV was broadcast in June 2024, after which its recurring team at the time (most of whom were graduating) continued producing it independently.

Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Beth Marsch]], [[Ava Ubertowski]], [[Jamie Parker-East]], [[Erin McLeod]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Bee Stevens]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Harry Smith]] (briefly), and [[John Cherry]] (via FaceTime). Notable for being possibly the most chaotic episode in Untitled's history, featuring a gallery camera, Jamie being resurrected, a FaceTime split-screen, Kory getting knocked out with a gardening glove, NDI nonsense, Notepad.exe, and Beth closing the show with the words "we technically haven't said anything that bad...".

====Episode 10 – One Year Of Chaos====
====Episode 11 – Beeper? I Barely Know Her!====
====Episode 12 – Our Studio's Video Routing====

=Season 4=
====Episode 1 – Nerds and Losers====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Dan Wade]] and an appearance from [[Cameron Fox]] to discuss [https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/ Apple Vision Pro preorders] and Samsung's [https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-unpacked/ Galaxy Unpacked] event. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://netbox.dev Netbox]. Dan's favourite production was the [[55th Anniversary | 48 Hour Livestream]] and his favourite bodge was the battery-powered OB during [[Battle Of The Birds 2023]]. Dan's show and tell item was a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T DVB-T] receiver, and Jamie's was a collection of branded pens from different departments of the University. The episode also featured a discussion of homelabs.

====Episode 2 – 20x4 vom.deltitnU====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. Inspired by the surprising difficulty Jamie encountered while trying to rotate a video of Keir Starmer by 90 degrees for [[Everything's Fine]] earlier that evening, the entire show (including VTs, titles and idents) was flipped horizontally and segments happened in reverse order, ending with the opening titles. Production Director [[Cameron Fox]] loved this gimmick so much that he proceeded to deliver the following week's Production Meeting in reverse order too. The episode featured behind-the-scenes discussion of Marks' graphics for [[Game Night|Game Night: King Of The Hill]], as well as the news that [https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/ Apple will enable sideloading, alternative app marketplaces and alternative browser engines for EU users in iOS 17.4]. The standard of the week was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP WebP]. Marks' show and tell was the SD card reader used to play out Game Night earlier in the show, and Jamie's was the "Caution: Tech Stuff On The Floor" sign.

====Episode 3 – Walk and talk====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]], with guests [[Will Stirk]], [[Marks Polakovs]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. This episode was broadcast via a FaceTime call from Cameron's iPhone (attached to Stirky's gimbal) back to the studio iPad, allowing the team to present the show while walking continuously around campus. The route set off from the studio, passing through Vanbrugh and Derwent (including a visit to the balcony of Central Hall), after which the VT - a mock episode of [[Touristed]] following Marks, Jamie and Dan on their trip to Slough the previous week - was played out. The stream returned from VT in URY's studio red, before continuing to Campus North and, eventually, Campus East, travelling through the Computer Science building and ending up on a bench by the lake. This was the longest episode of Untitled.mov to date.

====Episode 4 – Techies Not Found====
Inspired by the episode number 4x04's similarity to the HTTP error code 404 meaning "Not Found" (and quite how exhausted the tech team were after the previous day's [[Show Swap]]), this episode was a livestream of an empty studio. It featured the usual titles and a VT, plus auto-advancing slides on the TV. The episode was remotely vision-mixed from Courtyard by [[Mia Moir]].

====Episode 5 – Hold the phone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Dan Wade]] and late arrival [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The episode focused on OpenAI's new text-to-video model [https://openai.com/sora Sora].

====Episode 6 – Make Bossman The Boss, Man====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Liam Burnand]]. This episode centred around Jamie officially announcing his campaign for YUSU President and his manifesto points. The news segment discussed the hoax announcement that Gmail was to be sunset, Signal's introduction of usernames, WhatsApp's new text formatting options, Chrome's new Help Me Write feature and [https://www.wubuntu.org Wubuntu]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://github.com/supertokens SuperTokens]. Liam's favourite production was Roses, his favourite bodge was leaving a panic in production code on his year in industry and his show and tell item was the server emergency mallet.

====Episode 7 – Chekhov's Microphone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Will Stirk]] and [[Ronnie Young]]. Notably, this is the first ever episode of Untitled.mov not to feature an appearance of any kind by [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://bitfocus.io/companion Bitfocus Companion].

====Episode 8 – The Show Must Go On====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Cameron Fox]] and [[Charlotte Smith]] (and a brief appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]). This episode was completely automated and happened without any crew in the gallery. Jamie adapted his Autoviz solution, originally written for URY, to automatically cut the ATEM to the person talking, while Marks used Ontime and Companion to automatically cue VTs and stills at the correct time. It also featured Jamie's 60 Second Manifesto and CIN interview as part of his ongoing presidential campaign.

====Episode 9 – Absolute Rankers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Dan Wade]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. The episode featured a review of Kory's new phone and a skit of Jamie at Debate Night. It also featured a tierlist of all previous episodes of Untitled.mov, resulting in this being the longest episode to date, running to almost 90 minutes.

=Season 5=
====Episode 1 – Dress To Impress====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guest [[Almira Moldovan]] and an appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]. Jamie wore a maid's dress for the entirety of the episode. Discussion centred around the [https://www.theverge.com/24126502/humane-ai-pin-review Humane Ai Pin reviews] and [https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew recent announcements from Blackmagic]. The episode also featured an interview with [[Rhys Milling]] recorded at [[NaSTA 2024]].

====Episode 2 – Couch Surfers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]]. Rather than the usual PowerPoint slides, news stories were presented via a web browser. The episode also featured an interview with invisible guests, and was vision mixed randomly using a script.

====Episode 3 – Placeholder - delete me!====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with an appearance by [[Cameron Fox]]. The title of the episode spoofs the placeholder usually inserted into the show's running order before the producers put one together (which, in Untitled.mov's case, rarely happened).

====Episode 4 – Outside Broadcast====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with guests [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], [[Millie Gee]], [[Alyx Bruno-Bamford]], [[Emily Holmes]], [[Sam Rooke]], [[Fion Cudmore]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Beth Marsch]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Charlotte Smith]] and [[Alison Wong]]. The episode took place on the lawn outside the studio as the high temperature in the studio had been causing technical difficulties in earlier shows.

====Episode 5 - BOSSDOG====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Will Stirk]]. The opening of the episode featured a spoof Eurovision postcard made by [[Marks Polakovs]], immediately crashing into the presenters being confused by the presence of a dog in the studio (hastily arranged by [[Alison Wong]] mere minutes earlier as she saw someone with a dog outside).

====Episode 6 - Bossman Tech Election Statement====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Ronnie Young]] (and very briefly [[Will Stirk]]).

====Episode 7 - Untitled.mov Any% Speedrun in 6:09====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. As the title suggests, this episode was the shortest episode of Untitled.mov with the presenters kept to time by Ontime (because the crew wanted to go to a house party that evening). Also notable for being featured in the [[YUMAs|YUMAs 2024]] intro skit the next day.

====Episode 8 - Fatal Error====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Kory Anderson]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ronnie Young]], [[Charlotte Smith]], [[Ren Herring]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Ben Allen]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Dan Wade]], [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], and [[Reuben Cope]]. As well as the usual tech discussion, the episode featured Marks updating the firmware of the studio cameras mid-show which lead to Reuben hand-helding the cameras. The episode was vision mixed by Ben on his Apple Watch. The open source project of the week was [https://github.com/ystv/badger Badger] (which only technically became open-source mid-show as Marks added a license to the code).

This was the final episode of Untitled.mov on YSTV and featured the announcement that Untitled would go independent, published to its own YouTube channel and being produced from the crew's living rooms as they navigated alumni life, because they had all become close friends through YSTV and wanted to continue creating content together. As part of this, Cameron, as the incoming producer of newly-independent Untitled, was ceremonially presented with the server cupboard door, which was traditionally handed over to the incoming producer of Untitled in the final episode of each academic year, having been handed to Jamie in episode 2x08.

=Untitled.ogg=
Untitled.mov has a biweekly sister show on [[URY]], created by [[Rhys Milling]] and more recently produced by [[Dan Wade]] with recurring guests [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Beth Marsch]]. During [[Show Swap]], the two shows were simulcast from Studio Red.

Latvian.

== Trivia ==

* Former Head of Computing at URY ("it was great, but I never want to do that again" - Marks Polakovs 2022)
* Former Technical Director at York Vision
* Renowned corporate shill
** Owns frankly worrying amounts of their former employer's merchandise.
*** Including a pair of branded socks.
* Credited on more than one livestream as "Grumpy Tech Bodger"
** Except for when that somehow becomes "Tech Director" in the credits
* Relieves stress by swearing at inanimate objects
** Usually Blackmagic Design's products.
* Addicted to caffeine, Club-Mate, and breadsticks

== 2019-20 ==

Marks was somehow poached by URY very early on and barely got involved with YSTV, with the exception of teaching [[Ben Allen]] the basics of React.js at 3am one night, which lead to the two of them developing a lasting bond of friendship, collaboration, and [[fuckary]], and producing many <del>mistakes</del> genuine technical innovations over the years. They were Graphics Op (read: F5-pusher) at [[Elections 2020|ERN 2020]], and also the proud owner of [[Elections 2020#Power delivery|the USB stick that gave Ben a heart attack]] as he tried to get the stream going on zero hours of sleep.

== 2020-21 ==

lol

== 2021-22 ==

Somehow, despite (or perhaps due to?) moving away from York to Manchester for a year in industry, 2021-22 became the year that Marks switched allegiances and gave worrying amounts of his free time to YSTV, including being elected as Treasurer.

Marks worked alongside [[Ben Allen]] to produce a graphics program for [[Roses 2022]] using browsers inside OBS.

== 2022-23 ==
Upon their triumphant return from Manchester, Marks dove head-first into YSTV, not only doing whatever a treasurer does (money stuff idk) but also becoming a very prolific techie, contributing in at least some way to most big broadcasts and OBs in first term.

They also attempted to keep the logistics of [[Roses 2023]] under control, and mostly nearly succeeded.

At the 2023 Elections, they nearly retired, before the copious lack of a new treasurer and the existential crisis the station faced convinced them to un-retire and take on the role for another term. They did not regret this decision.

== 2023-24 ==

Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year. They (co-)wrote several pieces of software (an entirely new internal site, and NaSTA-award-winning [[Badger]]) for the station that were used throughout the year. They finally produced a full show of their own ([[Game Night]]), decided to abandon it after its first season because it was too much work, were convinced to un-abandon it by [[Cameron Fox]], and then put even more effort into the second season (despite switching format to pre-recorded to reduce the amount of effort...).

Come Roses, they realised that the incredibly janky spreadsheet that had somehow held together Roses 2023's crew scheduling would fall apart for 2024, and wrote Roses Scheduler, a piece of software to help manage it all (which went on to win Silver at the next NaSTAs). Their final contributions to YSTV were the most student media-y they could possibly be: shooting a Doctor Who spoof as the intro for the [[YUMAs]] 2024 in under 24 hours (with [[Cameron Fox|Cameron]]'s help), accidentally DJ'ing Summer Ball (to save [[Jamie Parker-East]] from trying to do it in WebStudio), and editing [[Noughts and Crosses across Manchester]] (technically after graduating as it was over the summer).

== Alumni ==

After (finally) graduating, Marks moved down to Cambridge to work in the cyber-security industry (funnily enough, alongside [[Matthew Stratford]], another former URY Computing Director). They still came back to York a couple times throughout the year to heckle, admire, and help the younger generation in equal measures. They also ended up helping out on the computing side remotely once or twice, including spinning up a replacement Internal Site on their domain when ystv.co.uk got suspended for the second time in a year, and spending far too long enhancing Roses Scheduler for Roses 2025.

They are also heavily involved in the newly-independent [[Untitled.mov]], appearing on every episode so far.

Latvian.

== Trivia ==

* Former Head of Computing at URY ("it was great, but I never want to do that again" - Marks Polakovs 2022)
* Former Technical Director at York Vision
* Renowned corporate shill
** Owns frankly worrying amounts of their former employer's merchandise.
*** Including a pair of branded socks.
* Credited on more than one livestream as "Grumpy Tech Bodger"
** Except for when that somehow becomes "Tech Director" in the credits
* Relieves stress by swearing at inanimate objects
** Usually Blackmagic Design's products.
* Addicted to caffeine, Club-Mate, and breadsticks

== 2019-20 ==

Marks was somehow poached by URY very early on and barely got involved with YSTV, with the exception of teaching [[Ben Allen]] the basics of React.js at 3am one night, which lead to the two of them developing a lasting bond of friendship, collaboration, and [[fuckary]], and producing many <del>mistakes</del> genuine technical innovations over the years. They were Graphics Op (read: F5-pusher) at [[Elections 2020|ERN 2020]], and also the proud owner of [[Elections 2020#Power delivery|the USB stick that gave Ben a heart attack]] as he tried to get the stream going on zero hours of sleep.

== 2020-21 ==

lol

== 2021-22 ==

Somehow, despite (or perhaps due to?) moving away from York to Manchester for a year in industry, 2021-22 became the year that Marks switched allegiances and gave worrying amounts of his free time to YSTV, including being elected as Treasurer.

Marks worked alongside [[Ben Allen]] to produce a graphics program for [[Roses 2022]] using browsers inside OBS.

== 2022-23 ==
Upon their triumphant return from Manchester, Marks dove head-first into YSTV, not only doing whatever a treasurer does (money stuff idk) but also becoming a very prolific techie, contributing in at least some way to most big broadcasts and OBs in first term.

They also attempted to keep the logistics of [[Roses 2023]] under control, and mostly nearly succeeded.

At the 2023 Elections, they nearly retired, before the copious lack of a new treasurer and the existential crisis the station faced convinced them to un-retire and take on the role for another term. They did not regret this decision.

== 2023-24 ==

Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year. They (co-)wrote several pieces of software (an entirely new internal site, and NaSTA-award-winning [[Badger]]) for the station that were used throughout the year. They finally produced a full show of their own ([[Game Night]]), decided to abandon it after its first season because it was too much work, were convinced to un-abandon it by [[Cameron Fox]], and then put even more effort into the second season (despite switching format to pre-recorded to reduce the amount of effort...).

Come Roses, they realised that the incredibly janky spreadsheet that had somehow held together Roses 2023's crew scheduling would fall apart for 2024, and wrote Roses Scheduler, a piece of software to help manage it all (which went on to win Silver at the next NaSTAs). Their final contributions to YSTV were the most student media-y they could possibly be: shooting a Doctor Who spoof as the intro for the [[YUMAs]] 2024 in under 24 hours (with [[Cameron Fox|Cameron]]'s help), accidentally DJ'ing Summer Ball (to save [[Jamie Parker-East]] from trying to do it in WebStudio), and editing [[Noughts and Crosses across Manchester]] (technically after graduating as it was over the summer).

== Alumni ==

After (finally) graduating, Marks moved down to Cambridge to work in the cyber-security industry (funnily enough, alongside [[Matthew Stratford]], another former URY Computing Director). They still came back to York a couple times throughout the year to heckle, admire, and help the younger generation in equal measures. They also ended up helping out on the computing side remotely once or twice, including spinning up a replacement Internal Site on their domain when ystv.co.uk got suspended for the second time in a year, and spending far too long enhancing Roses Scheduler for Roses 2025.

Untitled.mov is a tech show created by [[Rhys Milling]] in December 2022. It features behind-the-scenes information from recent productions, as well as recurring segments such as Tech News of the Week, Standard of the Week and Show And Tell. From Season 3, [[Jamie Parker-East]] has acted as showrunner, with [[Kory Anderson]] serving as a producer and recurring guest.

Its final episode on YSTV was broadcast in June 2024, after which its recurring team at the time (most of whom were graduating) continued producing it independently.

Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Beth Marsch]], [[Ava Ubertowski]], [[Jamie Parker-East]], [[Erin McLeod]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Bee Stevens]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Harry Smith]] (briefly), and [[John Cherry]] (via FaceTime). Notable for being possibly the most chaotic episode in Untitled's history, featuring a gallery camera, Jamie being resurrected, a FaceTime split-screen, Kory getting knocked out with a gardening glove, NDI nonsense, Notepad.exe, and Beth closing the show with the words "we technically haven't said anything that bad...".

====Episode 10 – One Year Of Chaos====
====Episode 11 – Beeper? I Barely Know Her!====
====Episode 12 – Our Studio's Video Routing====

=Season 4=
====Episode 1 – Nerds and Losers====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Dan Wade]] and an appearance from [[Cameron Fox]] to discuss [https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/ Apple Vision Pro preorders] and Samsung's [https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-unpacked/ Galaxy Unpacked] event. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://netbox.dev Netbox]. Dan's favourite production was the [[55th Anniversary | 48 Hour Livestream]] and his favourite bodge was the battery-powered OB during [[Battle Of The Birds 2023]]. Dan's show and tell item was a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T DVB-T] receiver, and Jamie's was a collection of branded pens from different departments of the University. The episode also featured a discussion of homelabs.

====Episode 2 – 20x4 vom.deltitnU====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. Inspired by the surprising difficulty Jamie encountered while trying to rotate a video of Keir Starmer by 90 degrees for [[Everything's Fine]] earlier that evening, the entire show (including VTs, titles and idents) was flipped horizontally and segments happened in reverse order, ending with the opening titles. Production Director [[Cameron Fox]] loved this gimmick so much that he proceeded to deliver the following week's Production Meeting in reverse order too. The episode featured behind-the-scenes discussion of Marks' graphics for [[Game Night|Game Night: King Of The Hill]], as well as the news that [https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/ Apple will enable sideloading, alternative app marketplaces and alternative browser engines for EU users in iOS 17.4]. The standard of the week was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP WebP]. Marks' show and tell was the SD card reader used to play out Game Night earlier in the show, and Jamie's was the "Caution: Tech Stuff On The Floor" sign.

====Episode 3 – Walk and talk====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]], with guests [[Will Stirk]], [[Marks Polakovs]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. This episode was broadcast via a FaceTime call from Cameron's iPhone (attached to Stirky's gimbal) back to the studio iPad, allowing the team to present the show while walking continuously around campus. The route set off from the studio, passing through Vanbrugh and Derwent (including a visit to the balcony of Central Hall), after which the VT - a mock episode of [[Touristed]] following Marks, Jamie and Dan on their trip to Slough the previous week - was played out. The stream returned from VT in URY's studio red, before continuing to Campus North and, eventually, Campus East, travelling through the Computer Science building and ending up on a bench by the lake. This was the longest episode of Untitled.mov to date.

====Episode 4 – Techies Not Found====
Inspired by the episode number 4x04's similarity to the HTTP error code 404 meaning "Not Found" (and quite how exhausted the tech team were after the previous day's [[Show Swap]]), this episode was a livestream of an empty studio. It featured the usual titles and a VT, plus auto-advancing slides on the TV. The episode was remotely vision-mixed from Courtyard by [[Mia Moir]].

====Episode 5 – Hold the phone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Dan Wade]] and late arrival [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The episode focused on OpenAI's new text-to-video model [https://openai.com/sora Sora].

====Episode 6 – Make Bossman The Boss, Man====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Liam Burnand]]. This episode centred around Jamie officially announcing his campaign for YUSU President and his manifesto points. The news segment discussed the hoax announcement that Gmail was to be sunset, Signal's introduction of usernames, WhatsApp's new text formatting options, Chrome's new Help Me Write feature and [https://www.wubuntu.org Wubuntu]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://github.com/supertokens SuperTokens]. Liam's favourite production was Roses, his favourite bodge was leaving a panic in production code on his year in industry and his show and tell item was the server emergency mallet.

====Episode 7 – Chekhov's Microphone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Will Stirk]] and [[Ronnie Young]]. Notably, this is the first ever episode of Untitled.mov not to feature an appearance of any kind by [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://bitfocus.io/companion Bitfocus Companion].

====Episode 8 – The Show Must Go On====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Cameron Fox]] and [[Charlotte Smith]] (and a brief appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]). This episode was completely automated and happened without any crew in the gallery. Jamie adapted his Autoviz solution, originally written for URY, to automatically cut the ATEM to the person talking, while Marks used Ontime and Companion to automatically cue VTs and stills at the correct time. It also featured Jamie's 60 Second Manifesto and CIN interview as part of his ongoing presidential campaign.

====Episode 9 – Absolute Rankers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Dan Wade]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. The episode featured a review of Kory's new phone and a skit of Jamie at Debate Night. It also featured a tierlist of all previous episodes of Untitled.mov, resulting in this being the longest episode to date, running to almost 90 minutes.

=Season 5=
====Episode 1 – Dress To Impress====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guest [[Almira Moldovan]] and an appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]. Jamie wore a maid's dress for the entirety of the episode. Discussion centred around the [https://www.theverge.com/24126502/humane-ai-pin-review Humane Ai Pin reviews] and [https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew recent announcements from Blackmagic]. The episode also featured an interview with [[Rhys Milling]] recorded at [[NaSTA 2024]].

====Episode 2 – Couch Surfers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]]. Rather than the usual PowerPoint slides, news stories were presented via a web browser. The episode also featured an interview with invisible guests, and was vision mixed randomly using a script.

====Episode 3 – Placeholder - delete me!====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with an appearance by [[Cameron Fox]]. The title of the episode spoofs the placeholder usually inserted into the show's running order before the producers put one together (which, in Untitled.mov's case, rarely happened).

====Episode 4 – Outside Broadcast====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with guests [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], [[Millie Gee]], [[Alyx Bruno-Bamford]], [[Emily Holmes]], [[Sam Rooke]], [[Fion Cudmore]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Beth Marsch]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Charlotte Smith]] and [[Alison Wong]]. The episode took place on the lawn outside the studio as the high temperature in the studio had been causing technical difficulties in earlier shows.

====Episode 5 - BOSSDOG====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Will Stirk]]. The opening of the episode featured a spoof Eurovision postcard made by [[Marks Polakovs]], immediately crashing into the presenters being confused by the presence of a dog in the studio (hastily arranged by [[Alison Wong]] mere minutes earlier as she saw someone with a dog outside).

====Episode 6 - Bossman Tech Election Statement====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Ronnie Young]] (and very briefly [[Will Stirk]]).

====Episode 7 - Untitled.mov Any% Speedrun in 6:09====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. As the title suggests, this episode was the shortest episode of Untitled.mov with the presenters kept to time by Ontime (because the crew wanted to go to a house party that evening). Also notable for being featured in the [[YUMAs|YUMAs 2024]] intro skit the next day.

====Episode 8 - Fatal Error====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Kory Anderson]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ronnie Young]], [[Charlotte Smith]], [[Ren Herring]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Ben Allen]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Dan Wade]], [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], and [[Reuben Cope]]. As well as the usual tech discussion, the episode featured Marks updating the firmware of the studio cameras mid-show which lead to Reuben hand-helding the cameras. The episode was vision mixed by Ben on his Apple Watch. The open source project of the week was [https://github.com/ystv/badger Badger] (which only technically became open-source mid-show as Marks added a license to the code).

This was the final episode of Untitled.mov on YSTV and featured the announcement that Untitled would go independent, published to its own YouTube channel and being produced from the crew's living rooms as they navigated alumni life, because they had all become close friends through YSTV and wanted to continue creating content together. As part of this, Cameron, as the incoming producer of newly-independent Untitled, was ceremonially presented with the server cupboard door, which was traditionally handed over to the incoming producer of Untitled in the final episode of each academic year, having been handed to Jamie in episode 2x08.

=Untitled.ogg=
Untitled.mov has a biweekly sister show on [[URY]], created by [[Rhys Milling]] and more recently produced by [[Dan Wade]] with recurring guests [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Beth Marsch]]. During [[Show Swap]], the two shows were simulcast from Studio Red.

====Episode 9 – Absolute Rankers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Dan Wade]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. The episode featured a review of Kory's new phone and a skit of Jamie at Debate Night.

====Episode 1 – Dress To Impress====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guest [[Almira Moldovan]] and an appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]. Jamie wore a maid's dress for the entirety of the episode.

Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]]. Rather than the usual PowerPoint slides, news stories were presented via a web browser. The episode also featured an interview with invisible guests, and was vision mixed randomly using a script.

====Episode 3 – Placeholder - delete me!====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with an appearance by [[Cameron Fox]]. The title of the episode spoofs the placeholder usually inserted into the show's running order before the producers put one together (which, in Untitled.mov's case, rarely happened).

====Episode 4 – Outside Broadcast====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with guests [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], [[Millie Gee]], [[Alyx Bruno-Bamford]], [[Emily Holmes]], [[Sam Rooke]], [[Fion Cudmore]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Beth Marsch]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Charlotte Smith]] and [[Alison Wong]].

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Will Stirk]].

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Ronnie Young]] (and very briefly [[Will Stirk]]).

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. As the title suggests, this episode was the shortest episode of Untitled.mov with the presenters kept to time by Ontime (because the crew wanted to go to a house party that evening). Also notable for being featured in the [[YUMAs|YUMAs 2024]] intro skit the next day.

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Kory Anderson]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ronnie Young]], [[Charlotte Smith]], [[Ren Herring]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Ben Allen]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Dan Wade]], [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], and [[Reuben Cope]]. As well as the usual tech discussion, the episode featured Marks updating the firmware of the studio cameras mid-show which lead to Reuben hand-helding the cameras. The episode was vision mixed by Ben on his Apple Watch. The open source project of the week was [https://github.com/ystv/badger Badger] (which only technically became open-source mid-show as Marks added a license to the code).

This was the final episode of Untitled.mov on YSTV and featured the announcement that Untitled would go independent, published to its own YouTube channel and being produced from the crew's living rooms as they navigated alumni life, because they had all become close friends through YSTV and wanted to continue creating content together. As part of this, Cameron, as the incoming producer of newly-independent Untitled, was ceremonially presented with the server cupboard door, which was traditionally handed over to the incoming producer of Untitled in the final episode of each academic year, having been handed to Jamie in episode 2x08.

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Dan Wade]] and an appearance from [[Cameron Fox]] to discuss [https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/ Apple Vision Pro preorders] and Samsung's [https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-unpacked/ Galaxy Unpacked] event. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://netbox.dev Netbox].

Dan's show and tell item was a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T DVB-T] receiver, and Jamie's was a collection of branded pens from different departments of the University. The episode also featured a discussion of homelabs.

====Episode 2 – 20x4 vom.deltitnU====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. Inspired by the surprising difficulty Jamie encountered while trying to rotate a video of Keir Starmer by 90 degrees for [[Everything's Fine]] earlier that evening, the entire show (including VTs, titles and idents) was flipped horizontally and segments happened in reverse order, ending with the opening titles. Production Director [[Cameron Fox]] loved this gimmick so much that he proceeded to deliver the following week's Production Meeting in reverse order too. The episode featured behind-the-scenes discussion of Marks' graphics for [[Game Night|Game Night: King Of The Hill]], as well as the news that [https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/ Apple will enable sideloading, alternative app marketplaces and alternative browser engines for EU users in iOS 17.4]. The standard of the week was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP WebP]. Marks' show and tell was the SD card reader used to play out Game Night earlier in the show, and Jamie's was the "Caution: Tech Stuff On The Floor" sign.

====Episode 3 – Walk and talk====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]], with guests [[Will Stirk]], [[Marks Polakovs]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. This episode was broadcast via a FaceTime call from Cameron's iPhone (attached to Stirky's gimbal) back to the studio iPad, allowing the team to present the show while walking continuously around campus. The route set off from the studio, passing through Vanbrugh and Derwent (including a visit to the balcony of Central Hall), after which the VT - a mock episode of [[Touristed]] following Marks, Jamie and Dan on their trip to Slough the previous week - was played out. The stream returned from VT in URY's studio red, before continuing to Campus North and, eventually, Campus East, travelling through the Computer Science building and ending up on a bench by the lake. This was the longest episode of Untitled.mov to date.

====Episode 4 – Techies Not Found====
Inspired by the episode number 4x04's similarity to the HTTP error code 404 meaning "Not Found" (and quite how exhausted the tech team were after the previous day's [[Show Swap]]), this episode was a livestream of an empty studio. It featured the usual titles and a VT, plus auto-advancing slides on the TV. The episode was remotely vision-mixed from Courtyard by [[Mia Moir]].

====Episode 5 – Hold the phone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Dan Wade]] and late arrival [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The episode focused on OpenAI's new text-to-video model [https://openai.com/sora Sora].

====Episode 6 – Make Bossman The Boss, Man====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Liam Burnand]]. This episode centred around Jamie officially announcing his campaign for YUSU President and his manifesto points. The news segment discussed the hoax announcement that Gmail was to be sunset, Signal's introduction of usernames, WhatsApp's new text formatting options, Chrome's new Help Me Write feature and [https://www.wubuntu.org Wubuntu]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://github.com/supertokens SuperTokens]. Liam's favourite production was Roses, his favourite bodge was leaving a panic in production code on his year in industry and his show and tell item was the server emergency mallet.

====Episode 7 – Chekhov's Microphone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Will Stirk]] and [[Ronnie Young]]. Notably, this is the first ever episode of Untitled.mov not to feature an appearance of any kind by [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://bitfocus.io/companion Bitfocus Companion].

====Episode 8 – The Show Must Go On====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Cameron Fox]] and [[Charlotte Smith]] (and a brief appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]). This episode was completely automated and happened without any crew in the gallery. Jamie adapted his Autoviz solution, originally written for URY, to automatically cut the ATEM to the person talking, while Marks used Ontime and Companion to automatically cue VTs and stills at the correct time.

Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Dan Wade]] and an appearance from [[Cameron Fox]] to discuss [https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/ Apple Vision Pro preorders] and Samsung's [https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-unpacked/ Galaxy Unpacked] event. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://netbox.dev Netbox]. Dan's favourite production was the [[55th Anniversary | 48 Hour Livestream]] and his favourite bodge was the battery-powered OB during [[Battle Of The Birds 2023]]. Dan's show and tell item was a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T DVB-T] receiver, and Jamie's was a collection of branded pens from different departments of the University. The episode also featured a discussion of homelabs.

====Episode 2 – 20x4 vom.deltitnU====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]], with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. Inspired by the surprising difficulty Jamie encountered while trying to rotate a video of Keir Starmer by 90 degrees for [[Everything's Fine]] earlier that evening, the entire show (including VTs, titles and idents) was flipped horizontally and segments happened in reverse order, ending with the opening titles. Production Director [[Cameron Fox]] loved this gimmick so much that he proceeded to deliver the following week's Production Meeting in reverse order too. The episode featured behind-the-scenes discussion of Marks' graphics for [[Game Night|Game Night: King Of The Hill]], as well as the news that [https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/ Apple will enable sideloading, alternative app marketplaces and alternative browser engines for EU users in iOS 17.4]. The standard of the week was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP WebP]. Marks' show and tell was the SD card reader used to play out Game Night earlier in the show, and Jamie's was the "Caution: Tech Stuff On The Floor" sign.

====Episode 3 – Walk and talk====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]], with guests [[Will Stirk]], [[Marks Polakovs]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. This episode was broadcast via a FaceTime call from Cameron's iPhone (attached to Stirky's gimbal) back to the studio iPad, allowing the team to present the show while walking continuously around campus. The route set off from the studio, passing through Vanbrugh and Derwent (including a visit to the balcony of Central Hall), after which the VT - a mock episode of [[Touristed]] following Marks, Jamie and Dan on their trip to Slough the previous week - was played out. The stream returned from VT in URY's studio red, before continuing to Campus North and, eventually, Campus East, travelling through the Computer Science building and ending up on a bench by the lake. This was the longest episode of Untitled.mov to date.

====Episode 4 – Techies Not Found====
Inspired by the episode number 4x04's similarity to the HTTP error code 404 meaning "Not Found" (and quite how exhausted the tech team were after the previous day's [[Show Swap]]), this episode was a livestream of an empty studio. It featured the usual titles and a VT, plus auto-advancing slides on the TV. The episode was remotely vision-mixed from Courtyard by [[Mia Moir]].

====Episode 5 – Hold the phone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Dan Wade]] and late arrival [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The episode focused on OpenAI's new text-to-video model [https://openai.com/sora Sora].

====Episode 6 – Make Bossman The Boss, Man====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Liam Burnand]]. This episode centred around Jamie officially announcing his campaign for YUSU President and his manifesto points. The news segment discussed the hoax announcement that Gmail was to be sunset, Signal's introduction of usernames, WhatsApp's new text formatting options, Chrome's new Help Me Write feature and [https://www.wubuntu.org Wubuntu]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://github.com/supertokens SuperTokens]. Liam's favourite production was Roses, his favourite bodge was leaving a panic in production code on his year in industry and his show and tell item was the server emergency mallet.

====Episode 7 – Chekhov's Microphone====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] with guests [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Will Stirk]] and [[Ronnie Young]]. Notably, this is the first ever episode of Untitled.mov not to feature an appearance of any kind by [[Jamie Parker-East]]. The Open Source Project Of The Week was [https://bitfocus.io/companion Bitfocus Companion].

====Episode 8 – The Show Must Go On====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Cameron Fox]] and [[Charlotte Smith]] (and a brief appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]). This episode was completely automated and happened without any crew in the gallery. Jamie adapted his Autoviz solution, originally written for URY, to automatically cut the ATEM to the person talking, while Marks used Ontime and Companion to automatically cue VTs and stills at the correct time. It also featured Jamie's 60 Second Manifesto and CIN interview as part of his ongoing presidential campaign.

====Episode 9 – Absolute Rankers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Dan Wade]] and [[Cameron Fox]]. The episode featured a review of Kory's new phone and a skit of Jamie at Debate Night. It also featured a tierlist of all previous episodes of Untitled.mov, resulting in this being the longest episode to date, running to almost 90 minutes.

====Episode 1 – Dress To Impress====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guest [[Almira Moldovan]] and an appearance by [[Marks Polakovs]]. Jamie wore a maid's dress for the entirety of the episode. Discussion centred around the [https://www.theverge.com/24126502/humane-ai-pin-review Humane Ai Pin reviews] and [https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew recent announcements from Blackmagic]. The episode also featured an interview with [[Rhys Milling]] recorded at [[NaSTA 2024]].

====Episode 2 – Couch Surfers====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]]. Rather than the usual PowerPoint slides, news stories were presented via a web browser. The episode also featured an interview with invisible guests, and was vision mixed randomly using a script.

====Episode 3 – Placeholder - delete me!====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with an appearance by [[Cameron Fox]]. The title of the episode spoofs the placeholder usually inserted into the show's running order before the producers put one together (which, in Untitled.mov's case, rarely happened).

====Episode 4 – Outside Broadcast====
Presented by [[Kory Anderson]] and [[Jamie Parker-East]], with guests [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], [[Millie Gee]], [[Alyx Bruno-Bamford]], [[Emily Holmes]], [[Sam Rooke]], [[Fion Cudmore]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Beth Marsch]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Charlotte Smith]] and [[Alison Wong]]. The episode took place on the lawn outside the studio as the high temperature in the studio had been causing technical difficulties in earlier shows.

====Episode 5 - BOSSDOG====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Will Stirk]]. The opening of the episode featured a spoof Eurovision postcard made by [[Marks Polakovs]], immediately crashing into the presenters being confused by the presence of a dog in the studio (hastily arranged by [[Alison Wong]] mere minutes earlier as she saw someone with a dog outside).

====Episode 6 - Bossman Tech Election Statement====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Ronnie Young]] (and very briefly [[Will Stirk]]).

====Episode 7 - Untitled.mov Any% Speedrun in 6:09]]]]
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Kory Anderson]] with guest [[Marks Polakovs]]. As the title suggests, this episode was the shortest episode of Untitled.mov with the presenters kept to time by Ontime (because the crew wanted to go to a house party that evening). Also notable for being featured in the [[YUMAs|YUMAs 2025]] intro skit the next day.

====Episode 8 - Fatal Error====
Presented by [[Jamie Parker-East]] with guests [[Kory Anderson]], [[Cameron Fox]], [[Ronnie Young]], [[Charlotte Smith]], [[Ren Herring]], [[Miles Ogden]], [[Ben Allen]], [[Marks Polakovs]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Niamh Fenn]], [[Dan Wade]], [[Sarah Harrold]], [[Mia Moir]], and [[Reuben Cope]]. As well as the usual tech discussion, the episode featured Marks updating the firmware of the studio cameras mid-show which lead to Reuben hand-helding the cameras. The episode was vision mixed by Ben on his Apple Watch.

This was the final episode of Untitled.mov on YSTV and featured the announcement that Untitled would go independent, published to its own YouTube channel and being produced from the crew's living rooms as they navigated alumni life, because they had all become close friends through YSTV and wanted to continue creating content together. As part of this, Cameron, as the incoming producer of newly-independent Untitled, was ceremonially presented with the server cupboard door, which was traditionally handed over to the incoming producer of Untitled in the final episode of each academic year, having been handed to Jamie in episode 2x08.

== Trivia ==

* Former Head of Computing at URY ("it was great, but I never want to do that again" - Marks Polakovs 2022)
* Former Technical Director at York Vision
* Renowned corporate shill

* Addicted to caffeine, Club-Mate, and breadsticks

== 2019-20 ==

Marks was somehow poached by URY very early on and barely got involved with YSTV, with the exception of teaching [[Ben Allen]] the basics of React.js at 3am one night, which lead to the two of them developing a lasting bond of friendship, collaboration, and [[fuckary]], and producing many <del>mistakes</del> genuine technical innovations over the years. They were Graphics Op (read: F5-pusher) at [[Elections 2020|ERN 2020]], and also the proud owner of [[Elections 2020#Power delivery|the USB stick that gave Ben a heart attack]] as he tried to get the stream going on zero hours of sleep.

== 2020-21 ==

lol

== 2021-22 ==

Somehow, despite (or perhaps due to?) moving away from York to Manchester for a year in industry, 2021-22 became the year that Marks switched allegiances and gave worrying amounts of his free time to YSTV, including being elected as Treasurer.

Marks worked alongside [[Ben Allen]] to produce a graphics program for [[Roses 2022]] using browsers inside OBS.

== 2022-23 ==
Upon their triumphant return from Manchester, Marks dove head-first into YSTV, not only doing whatever a treasurer does (money stuff idk) but also becoming a very prolific techie, contributing in at least some way to most big broadcasts and OBs in first term.

They also attempted to keep the logistics of [[Roses 2023]] under control, and mostly nearly succeeded.

At the 2023 Elections, they nearly retired, before the copious lack of a new treasurer and the existential crisis the station faced convinced them to un-retire and take on the role for another term. They did not regret this decision.

== 2023-24 ==

Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year. They (co-)wrote several pieces of software (an entirely new internal site, and NaSTA-award-winning [[Badger]]) for the station that were used throughout the year. They finally produced a full show of their own ([[Game Night]]), decided to abandon it after its first season because it was too much work, were convinced to un-abandon it by [[Cameron Fox]], and then put even more effort into the second season (despite switching format to pre-recorded to reduce the amount of effort...).

Come Roses, they realised that the incredibly janky spreadsheet that had somehow held together Roses 2023's crew scheduling would fall apart for 2024, and wrote Roses Scheduler, a piece of software to help manage it all (which went on to win Silver at the next NaSTAs). Their final contributions to YSTV were the most student media-y they could possibly be: shooting a Doctor Who spoof as the intro for the [[YUMAs]] 2024 in under 24 hours (with [[Cameron Fox|Cameron]]'s help), getting roped into DJ'ing Summer Ball (to save [[Jamie Parker-East]] from trying to do it in WebStudio), and editing [[Noughts and Crosses across Manchester]] (technically after graduating as it was over the summer).

== Alumni ==

After (finally) graduating, Marks moved down to Cambridge to work in the cyber-security industry (funnily enough, alongside [[Matthew Stratford]], another former URY Computing Director). They still came back to York a couple times throughout the year to heckle, admire, and help the younger generation in equal measures. They also ended up helping out on the computing side remotely once or twice, including spinning up a replacement Internal Site on their domain when ystv.co.uk got suspended for the second time in a year, and spending far too long enhancing Roses Scheduler for Roses 2025.

Ben Allen

Marks Polakovs: /* Trivia */

{{YSTV Member
| first name = Ben
| last name = Allen
| picturefile = BenAllenBlue.jpeg
| picturesize = 200px
| active from = 2019
| active until = Present
| positions = Deputy Technical Director
| current location = The YSTV Studio. Definitely.
| degrees = MEng Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems
}}

=About=
Ben (npm install *) Allen, can often found in the studio in the early hours of the morning, screaming at technology, and is a prime example of a dedicated YSTV member. He is an all round lovely guy and is almost constantly busy and tired.

Joining as a fresher during the Give It A Go event in October 2019, Ben almost immediately became heavily involved in YSTV with his first event being a week or two later when YSTV hosted the 2019 NASTA People's choice awards. Acting as technical assistant to [[Technical Director]] [[Andrew Waddle]] during the setup and operation of the show. Having since worked on numerous live and recorded projects, Ben has worked within a variety of technical and operational roles; generally acting as technical and computing assistant to [[Andrew Waddle]] and [[Rhys Milling]] on live shows or working like a bugger with VFX. Not to mention his round the clock commitment to technical [[fuckary]].

See also;
* [[Marty]] Ben's software video switching project which acts as either a 3rd OB unit or a replacement for other server failures.
* [[Election Results Night 2020]]

Has a dark and mysterious alternate life (that must never be spoken of) at University Radio York including the positions:
*Assistant Head of Computing (2019-20)
*Station Manager of URY (2020-21)
*Assistant Head of Audio Resources (2021)
*Chief Engineer (2021-22)

=Trivia=
*Can be calmed down with a Snickers bar.
*His favourite film is Sharknado, which he once called 'a cinematic masterpiece with an almost ethereal quality'.
*Snack of choice probably a Dominos pizza.
*When in power-saving mode will only diet on breadsticks.
*Treasurer of MemeSoc (no, really)
**Though whether it was valid is debatable given he never paid membership
*100% fail-rate on setting up a dual boot first time.
*100% success-rate for eduroam setup.

| [[YSTV Sport: Volleyball Autumn 2019]]
| Director & Livestream Technician
| Turns out the internet sucks in the sports centre so was done "as live" as no connection could be found. Spent all of the setup time trying to sort out the new live graphics he'd just got working. Didn't realise he had a remote JQuery dependency and no internet. Cursed the internet and did some running. Eventually, the graphics were working and the majority of the game was recorded with some admittedly out of breath directing.

| [[Boxing Fight Night Live 2019]]
| Graphics Programmer
| Realised from Volleyball that roughly thrown together Visual Basic, no modularity and constant rewriting didn't make for a good graphics client. Had a better idea, got Marks Polakovs to kindly teach him React over one VERY long night. Rewrote the previous client in React. Came up with initial planning for the Ghostbuster Graphics system. The new Electron-based client ended up being named Luigi's Mansion 2 which was deployed successfully after 20 minutes of testing as Ben could not attend the event. After someone decided to play the maracas with the one validated OB unit, so was then phoned by Rhys and required to rush home in the car and remotely setup the other OB unit while Rhys was fixing the initial one. The backup unit was not needed in the end.

| [[Hunted - Episode 2]]
| Title Sequence Graphics
| With additional shots from [[Andrew Waddle | Andrew]] and [[Thomas Schubert | Tom]], the title sequence was VFX heavy and slowly constructed (barely in time for NaSTA). Ben's work can be seen in the footstep shots and some of the HUD elements as well as the title shot (foot graciously provided by [[Louis Dickson]]) which was the final shot completed. Also the first time Ben had motion-tracked anything and it hadn't sucked, so that was nice!

| Learned the value of sleep, stared at clocks for hours testing latency, started to strongly dislike the Facebook live-streaming platform. The broadcast stream ended up being a bit unstable due to a sleep-deprived misconfiguration error causing our transcodes to start crying. 'Solved' at the time by [[Andrew Waddle | Andrew]] monitoring stream health and Ben appropriately spamming ssh commands with forehead while sound mixing.

| [[Election Results Night 2020|60 Second Manifestos 2020]]
| Director, Camera Operator, Editor & Graphics
| [[Cal Cooke | Cal]] and [[Thomas Schubert | Tom]] assisted with shooting the 30 candidates with lighting expertise from [[Andrew Waddle | Andrew]]. After Effects used for animating the YUSU assets. Used DaVinci Resolve and Nvenc for fast chroma-keying and exports with Edit 3's GPU being fully leveraged, along with some bodging to refine the graphics to never need to be re-rendered from the original comp speeding the process up greatly (averaging 5 minutes editing per video with 1 minute final renders). Had fun shouting at EncodeSrv as it would misidentify the file's resolution when uploading to the website and transcoding. Ended up throwing files through Adobe Media Encoder as an easy fix. A fake manifesto from Ben may exist somewhere for pipeline testing purposes, this cannot be confirmed.

| Director & Camera Operator
| Spent a night running around with [[Olivia Gibbs]], Numi Gildert and Alex West battling bad weather ruining plans and his own inability to balance a gimbal well enough on no battery. Ate Greggs. Shot most of it handheld (not ideal running with no IBIS). Spend an evening making a hash out of the edit. Considered doing half of it live on the night. Saved by Olivia salvaging most of the footage into a good edit which was then tweaked some more into the final product.

Instead, spent the night before the show secretly making the graphics assets with the embargoed names and finishing off the stingers and lower-thirds. Spent that day regretting it. Actual stream was mostly successful and uneventful although all YSTV power did die beforehand as not enough sockets were present at the venue and multiple 1k lights were a step too far. Also, OB1 started being electric shock-y so that was quickly decommissioned and replaced with [[Marty]]. Stream was followed by a full club night at Courtyard. That was followed by sleep, lots of it.

| Missed a bus into town, got bored, started streaming to the YSTV website from Ben's phone with some basic graphics. Continued the stream intermittently through the night, much confusion occurred from the members still in Courtyard.

== 2019-20 ==

Marks was somehow poached by URY very early on and barely got involved with YSTV, with the exception of teaching [[Ben Allen]] the basics of React.js at 3am one night, which lead to the two of them developing a lasting bond of friendship, collaboration, and [[fuckary]], and producing many <del>mistakes</del> genuine technical innovations over the years. They were Graphics Op (read: F5-pusher) at [[Elections 2020|ERN 2020]], and also the proud owner of [[Elections 2020#Power delivery|the USB stick that gave Ben a heart attack]] as he tried to get the stream going on zero hours of sleep.

== 2020-21 ==

lol

== 2021-22 ==

Somehow, despite (or perhaps due to?) moving away from York to Manchester for a year in industry, 2021-22 became the year that Marks switched allegiances and gave worrying amounts of his free time to YSTV, including being elected as Treasurer.

Marks worked alongside [[Ben Allen]] to produce a graphics program for [[Roses 2022]] using browsers inside OBS.

== 2022-23 ==
Upon their triumphant return from Manchester, Marks dove head-first into YSTV, not only doing whatever a treasurer does (money stuff idk) but also becoming a very prolific techie, contributing in at least some way to most big broadcasts and OBs in first term.

They also attempted to keep the logistics of [[Roses 2023]] under control, and mostly nearly succeeded.

At the 2023 Elections, they nearly retired, before the copious lack of a new treasurer and the existential crisis the station faced convinced them to un-retire and take on the role for another term. They did not regret this decision.

== 2023-24 ==

Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year. They (co-)wrote several pieces of software (an entirely new internal site, and NaSTA-award-winning [[Badger]]) for the station that were used throughout the year. They finally produced a full show of their own ([[Game Night]]), decided to abandon it after its first season because it was too much work, were convinced to un-abandon it by [[Cameron Fox]], and then put even more effort into the second season (despite switching format to pre-recorded to reduce the amount of effort...).

The Thursday Night Incident

2024-07-23T19:28:09Z

Marks Polakovs: categories

On the night of 7 December 2023, a Computing Meeting took place. [[Dan Wade]] was away, and so the meeting was chaired by [[Jamie Parker-East]], with surprisingly little chaos.

One of the agenda items was that some replacement UPS batteries had arrived, and those present ([[Mia Moir]], [[Ashley Bryan]], [[Alyx Bruno-Bamford]], and Jamie) agreed to fit them after the meeting. Jamie had degree to do, leaving the others to take out the UPS and replace its batteries.

Somehow, this turned into them taking apart the entire server rack, dusting the servers, and reorganising all the connections. The only problem came at around 6am, when they hadn't quite got to the "put it all back together" step before they started to feel sleepy. And there was a YSTV Live that day. Oops.

Ashley, with the help of [[Liam Burnand]] (even though the former had not slept yet and the latter had work), got troubleshooting. They got as far as getting Web back operational (somewhat), but various other services were still inoperative.

YSTV Live came around, and the gallery was still in a bit of a state. Many of the habitual techies weren't about ([[Marks Polakovs]] was in a theatre in town operating lights for a CHMS show, and [[Jamie Parker-East|Jamie]] was still catching up on sleep). Eventually [[Beth Marsch]], with the help of [[Will Stirk]] and [[Joe Radford]] (who just happened to be there) managed to get the gallery working enough for YSTV Live to kick off half an hour behind schedule.

It took another day (and the intervention of Dan and [[Marks Polakovs]]) before all (well, almost all) computing services were fully operational. Lesson learned: don't take apart half the gallery at 2am without a plan for putting it back together.

The incident was later [https://www.youtube.com/live/zmZISDm3JtY?si=NGnqtt8YcbNB9955&t=602 immortalised] as an [[Everything's Fine]] skit.

Drive Crash 6: The Great Roses 2023 Drive Crash

2024-04-23T10:10:23Z

Marks Polakovs: /* The Bodging */

It would really, really, ''really'' suck to have a drive crash on the morning of the first day of Roses, wouldn't it...

== Background ==
Over the Easter holidays, [[Jamie Parker-East]], [[Dan Wade]], and [[Marks Polakovs]] were upgrading our primary web server, which was a bit of a potato at the time. As part of this they replaced the motherboard, and realised that the new motherboard had one fewer SATA connector than the old one. They got very concerned, until they noticed that one of the drives in Web at the time wasn't actually in use at all, either as part of the RAID array or otherwise mounted, and Web seemed to work perfectly fine without it. This drive was labelled the "mystery drive" and put in Marks' pigeon hole.

What the crew hadn't realised is that this drive ''was'' probably part of the array, until it had presumably failed some months ago (that's probably what all those emails were about...) - the array kept on keeping on, as a RAID-5 is meant to, but they were now one drive failure away from disaster.

== The Crash ==
In the day or two before Roses the crew noted that Web had started rebooting sporadically, but couldn't quite pin down why. Then, at around 10:00 on Friday 28 April (the first day of Roses), Web rebooted again, only this time it went into emergency mode. [[Liam Burnand]] was in the MCR (control room) at the time and started diagnosing, and Marks was next door in G/N/020 sorting logistical kerfuffles, before getting concerned about mentions of a "server issue" and coming into the control room. They took a look at Web's startup logs, and spotted that systemd was failing to mount a drive, eventually putting two and two together and realising what had happened. Oh dear.

Marks quickly took over MCR duties while Liam started investigating, though the two of them concluded that the /data mount on Web was a goner, taking with it:

* User home directories and Windows profiles
* Users' email inboxes
* The source code of the website (though there were copies on GitHub)
* The images for the wikis (that's why they're not exactly working right now)
* The contents of the HashiCorp Vault ("Computing Vault", used by some of our deployment automation)

== The Bodging ==
So now we have a dead drive, a few terabytes of lost data, and a Roses to keep going. The team put in a number of bodges to recover everything Roses broadcast-critical:

* Commenting out or deleting all the bits of nginx config that refer to /data
* Bypassing authentication on the streaming servers (as that relied on an API running on Web)
* Hard-coding various keys into the Sports Graphics deployment configuration to get it to start

The award for most spectacular bodge, though, has to go to Marks temporarily pointing the DNS for "*.prod.ystv.co.uk" to [[URY]]'s web server, which they configured as a reverse proxy pointing to Sports Graphics (also copying a wildcard TLS certificate and private key to URY in the process...) - this wasn't actually strictly necessary, but meant that the team could reboot Web at will without causing issues. With multiple layers of bodges, hacks, and horribleness in place, the team kept enough infrastructure going to deliver the biggest Roses ever.

== The Fallout ==
Having survived a Roses, the team's next order of business was to survey the damage and rebuild.

Eventually most bits and pieces got put back together in some way. Computing Vault was rebuilt based on snippets of configuration scattered around the place, the wikis got brought back without images (until [[Rhys Milling|Rhys]] found a surprisingly recent backup and restored them), and all computing services were rebuilt. The team also recreated a new /data array based on SSDs, though it did take them about three weeks of arguing, failing to pass the money at admin, and probably boring the rest of the society to tears before they could finally agree on its configuration.

Unfortunately there were some permanent casualties. Users' home directories and emails were gone forever. Every cloud has a silver lining though: the team had just been discussing about moving emails to Google Workspace (hosted under YUSU's domain), specifically about how to handle moving over "legacy" on-prem emails - them no longer existing made the decision much easier.

The Great Flood of 2023

2024-04-23T10:08:11Z

Marks Polakovs: add picture

[[File:Great Flood of 2023.jpg|thumb|It moist]]
On Sunday 23 April 2023, one week before [[Roses 2023]], [[Jamie Parker-East]] and [[Dan Wade]] arrived in the control room to find it more than a little bit, err, moist. As they later found out, a lakewater pump had failed to carry on pumping and so lakewater started to build up, eventually taking advantage of YSTV's role as the lowest point in the Maths building to rise up through the carpet. Not ideal.

Estates were hastily summoned, and had no idea what was going on, initially suspecting a burst heating pipe but not finding one. The control room was declared off-limits, the training session scheduled for that afternoon was moved into G/N/013, and a water vacuum was sourced. Thankfully, the studio was unscathed. This was still problematic though, as the current Roses planning called for the control room to be the MCR. Several backup plans were hashed out, involving either the MCR sharing space with the edit den in the studio, or a dodgy cat5e run into G/N/020.

Eventually the faulty pump was isolated and, with the help of a fair amount of vacuuming, the water level started to recede. The smell was horrible though, and was only resolved by [[Liam Burnand]] leaving the window slightly open overnight with serveral fans pointing at it - miraculously YSTV was not burglarised. The studio was saved, and Roses could go ahead as planned! [[Drive Crash 6: The Great Roses 2023 Drive Crash|What else could possibly go wrong?]]

Mia Scudds has been a ''relatively'' active member of YSTV since 2021. She was elected [[Social Secretaries|Social Secretary]] at the end of 2022, determined to serve a full term.

She is part of the infamous ''Boob House'', alongside [[Beth Marsch]], [[Erin McLeod]], [[Sarah Maguire]], [[Ava Ubertowski]] and [[Charlotte Pye]], where the group of overally-active freshers from 2021 decided to live together for another 2 years. the house is now infamous for amazing house parties and great production location.

In her third year, Scudds took a step back from YSTV to venture into other societies before she graduates in 2024. Since, she has become the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist in an indie-rock band called ''Catch!,'' as well as rediscovering her love for theatre, being involved in both CHMS' winter production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee as Olive, and doing photography for DramaSoc.

=About=
Jamie Parker-East has been a regular fixture of the YSTV ystv studio since 2021, tending to stay there from the afternoon until early morning on his 'free days'. As a fresher Jamie remained a less active member of YSTV, only crewing the odd production, until term two of his first year where he became one of the most active members, joining both the Tech and Computing teams whilst also editing for the production team.

During Jamie's second term he worked alongside [[Cameron Fox]] in several productions and the two edited several productions together in collaboration. In the lead up to [[Roses 2022]], in his third term, Jamie started to get involved with the more admin side of YSTV and ran three editing training sessions. With his experience and involvement with the post production side of YSTV and his history of working with [[Cameron Fox]], Jamie decided to run for [[Head of Presentation]] alongside [[Cameron Fox]] in the [[2022 elections]]. The two ran unopposed and became the co [[Heads of Presentation]].

With a great ammount of training and support from [[Rhys Milling]], in April 2022 Jamie joined the computing team with his python experience and limited knowledge of linux operating systems, from messing around with a Raspberry Pi. Jamie started off by taking on the project of making [[Karen]] more automated and during the preperation of [[Roses 2022]] he created a user area for editors to use. In the early morning of the 6th May 2022 (just after Roses), while editing the general editor user area, Jamie accidently leant on the keyboard while connected to web server and managed to reboot web into an error loop, causing the website and computer domain to go down for a couple hours before it was fixed by [[Liam Burnand]] by instructing Jamie to press 'Ctrl + C'.

A key point in Jamie's computing career, although not actually involving YSTV, was when he managed to delete an important shared directory for a physics research group on York's Viking Cluster. This event cemented his position as a true member of the computing team, even rivaling many of [[Liam Burnand]]'s own fuck ups.

Jamie got elected as University Radio York's Head of Computing in March 2023 whilst starting a campaign to become YSTV's next Tech DIrector.

=About=
Jamie Parker-East has been a regular fixture of the YSTV ystv studio since 2021, tending to stay there from the afternoon until early morning on his 'free days'. As a fresher Jamie remained a less active member of YSTV, only crewing the odd production, until term two of his first year where he became one of the most active members, joining both the Tech and Computing teams whilst also editing for the production team.

During Jamie's second term he worked alongside [[Cameron Fox]] in several productions and the two edited several productions together in collaboration. In the lead up to [[Roses 2022]], in his third term, Jamie started to get involved with the more admin side of YSTV and ran three editing training sessions. With his experience and involvement with the post production side of YSTV and his history of working with [[Cameron Fox]], Jamie decided to run for [[Head of Presentation]] alongside [[Cameron Fox]] in the [[2022 elections]]. The two ran unopposed and became the co [[Heads of Presentation]].

With a great ammount of training and support from [[Rhys Milling]], in April 2022 Jamie joined the computing team with his python experience and limited knowledge of linux operating systems, from messing around with a Raspberry Pi. Jamie started off by taking on the project of making [[Karen]] more automated and during the preperation of [[Roses 2022]] he created a user area for editors to use. In the early morning of the 6th May 2022 (just after Roses), while editing the general editor user area, Jamie accidently leant on the keyboard while connected to web server and managed to reboot web into an error loop, causing the website and computer domain to go down for a couple hours before it was fixed by [[Liam Burnand]] by instructing Jamie to press 'Ctrl + C'.

A key point in Jamie's computing career, although not actually involving YSTV, was when he managed to delete an important shared directory for a physics research group on York's Viking Cluster. This event cemented his position as a true member of the computing team, even rivaling many of [[Liam Burnand]]'s own fuck ups.

Jamie got elected as University Radio York's Head of Computing in March 2023 whilst starting a campaign to become YSTV's next Tech DIrector.

Secretaries

Marks Polakovs:

The duties of the Secretary are described in [[docs:YSTV_Constitution#Duties_of_YSTV.E2.80.99s_Committee|the Constitution - Duties of YSTV’s Committee]], under point 2. These duties may change at the [[Annual General Meeting]] and so may not fully represent the duties those who historically held the role.

In the years immediately prior to the [[2001 Constitution]], YSTV didn't have a dedicated Secretary post - instead, it formed part of the [[Station Managers|Station Manager's]] role - despite having a dedicated secretary at least throughout the early 90s.

At the [[2022 AGM]], the role was merged into the new [[Administration Directors|Administration Director]] role.

At the November 2021 EGM, the name was changed to reflect that the position was a now the head of a new team, the Marketing Team.
