Tom.cheyney:

Kevin arrived in York in 1999, and after a year or so over at [[URY]] he saw the light and joined many of his electronics colleagues in YSTV, first as [[Computing Officer]] and then as [[Station Director]] in 2002-3. During this period YSTV was particularly strong on its coverage of live events such as [[Woodstock]], [[Battle of the Bands]], [[Roses]] Ball and [[Access All Areas]].

He graduated in 2003, then worked for Orange and now Sky Betting and Gaming in Leeds.

NaSTA 2015

2015-03-30T14:09:16Z

Tom.cheyney: Numbers, maybe right

NaSTA 2015 was held in Preston by PTV. YSTV took along 16 members.

YSTV won Highly Commended Technical Achievement, this time with Autocue, marking the third consecutive year the Technical Team brought home a trophy but weren't "in it to win it this year". This is all we took home, but we were against some very tough entries. Many members also lost some of their dignity in the process.

Other highlights included:
* Having been given the [[Golden Bodge]] categories of "Coming of age comedy" with the line "Just make one up" (which we did via Morrissey and got "I can't do it while you're watching"), YSTV reprised its role as the station that produces musical numbers, with a parody of Les Mis, entitled "One Bodge More"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJnfzOz1Ilk]. This was to be the last piece of content produced by [[Lloyd Wallis]] for YSTV.
* [[Chris Wall]] woke up in the wrong hotel on Sunday Morning.
* [[Sam Nicholson]] proudly got in a procedural motion at the AGM, with [[Liz Pascoe]] threatening another due to an intense discussion based around "What is art?".
* A narrowly-avoided vote on whether we were voting to vote or to have a referendum, on which we would vote later. The motion was withdrawn.
* Some industry talks.
* Not Chris Wall's room, actually.
* An awards evening in a place that looked strangely like Central Hall.

NaSTA 2014

2015-03-30T14:07:27Z

Tom.cheyney: Remove unsure

NaSTA 2014 was held in Loughborough by LSUTV from Friday 4th April to Sunday 6th April. YSTV took along 15 members.

YSTV won best Technical Achievement again, this time with [[docs:Kenobi|Kenobi]]. We also took home Best Broadcaster, which we received for "doing whatever the fuck we want", and Highly Commended Factual for [[Lights on Literature]].

A video overview of the weekend can be watched here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-c31050Qpk]

Other highlights included:
* Having been given the [[Golden Bodge]] categories of "Football" in the style of "50s Americano", including the line "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off", and knowledge of the existence of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lOVwIBhVaE], it was decided to do what the fuck we wanted and ignore all the rules. We later won the People's Choice Award for the Best Golden Bodge. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO8lbRBUCAY]
* [[Liz Pascoe]] Cracked her ribs attempting to get home on Saturday and decided it involved climbing a fence.
* The unfortunate loss of the fluffy handcuffs that [[Sam Nicholson]] claims were his housemates'.
* Some industry talks.
* Chris Wall's room. Again. Toothpaste was involved. Again. Ask him.
* The first play through of [[Cards Against YSTV]], breaking [[Lloyd Wallis|Lloyd's]] record for most number of people in his bedroom at once (now set at 21).

FLOPPYs

2014-09-17T22:04:51Z

Tom.cheyney: Added 2014 awards

The FLOPPYs are a joke awards event started in 2006 in response to the dreadfulness of the [[YUMAs]] that year. They were created by [[Matthew Tole]] and [[Sarah Leese]], the new and outgoing [[Station Directors]] at the time. They were named the FLOPPYs because that was the best object they could come up for prizes - floppy disks. After some discussion, it became an acronym: '''F'''or the '''L'''ove '''O'''f the '''P'''eople and '''P'''rogrammes of '''Y'''STV.

The awards continued after 2006 with many regular categories, including ''Nicest Member''. New awards were also introduced including ''The Bew Award (for Doing a Bew)'', named after [[Emma Bew]] and the ''[[Alex Muller]] Award for Presentness''. In recent years, the floppy disks have been augmented with (uncategorised) '''D'''eeply '''V'''alued '''D'''eparted discs for the graduating members. Traditionally the awards are organised by the new and outgoing [[Station Director]]s and the Social Sec, and held upstairs at [http://www.evileyelounge.com/ Evil Eye].

== Awards by Year ==

The point of the FLOPPYs is to give every active member at least one award.

===2006===

In 2006, the FLOPPYs were held on the steps of York Minster, after the YSTV End of Term Meal. They were presented by [[Matthew Tole]] and [[Sarah Leese]] who had spent an afternoon coming up with the awards, nominations and winners!

Children In Need 2013

Tom.cheyney: I did some lighting or something, who knows

[[File:P1150491.JPG|thumb|300px|Survivor Photo]]
The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608.

=The Live Show=

==Live Music==

The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'.

==Presenter Challenges==

The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won.

[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]

==Other Acts & Interviews==

Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue.

[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]

=VTs=

- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]].

- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]].

- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones.

- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.

- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.

- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.

- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...

[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]

- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.

- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.

- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'.

- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.

=Producer's Notes=

This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.

==The Good==

- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc.

- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.

- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.

- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.

- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.

- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'.

- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time!

[[File:2013-11-13 17.07.00.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr and Mrs Pudsey hard at work]]

==The Bad==

- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).

- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".

- It was ever so warm in the studio.

- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.

- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.

=Press & Publicity=

The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show here, and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!"

BBC Radio York mentioned YSTV too, although sadly didn't interview Kallum Taylor as they'd suggested.

[[Helen Hobin]] gave a video interview for the [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/video/133753/?page= York Press], filmed by [[Christopher Parker]], and student newspaper [[Nouse]] came along to the BNOC Flashmob to take photographs and tweet about the event.
