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.

Season 3

Episode 9 – Art

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...".

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 Apple Vision Pro preorders and Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event. The Open Source Project Of The Week was Netbox. Dan's favourite production was the 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 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: King Of The Hill, as well as the news that Apple will enable sideloading, alternative app marketplaces and alternative browser engines for EU users in iOS 17.4. The standard of the week was 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 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 Wubuntu. The Open Source Project Of The Week was 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 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 Humane Ai Pin reviews and 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 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 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.
