Behind The Streams is YSTV's behind the scenes series, taking a light hearted look into how each show is made.

Origins

Started when Sam Willcocks gave Sam an AC-90 suggesting he filmed some behind the scenes of #AskLookNorth before he started wireless camera operation for that broadcast.

Production

Editing for the first episode began two days later on Tuesday 30th May. With titles and Kenric's shot of Liam Blake's dab. Whilst editing then on the Thursday following, Sam W and Edwin offered much support of what was being made. When it neared a more complete version, it was verbally ratified by Edwin and also Hui-Ling. The final edit was then approved of by Edwin and Sam W (after they had considered the memes that could work including the MLG Horn).

The Strong and Stable Livestream was filmed largely by Sam on DSLR following what happened from around 22:00 until 2am roughly. B-Roll was filmed by Dan Leigh but was never needed in the edit due to the programme length. The show went out a few weeks later.

For the episode on the Love York Awards, filming was done by Sam H on arrival to the station and he continued intermittently until he had to actually vision-mix the first half of the awards and then direct the second. He then caught the events post-show too.

Release

The first episode went on the website on 6th June with the upload to Facebook at 6pm the next day. At the time of writing, it received 775 views.

Idents

Following Sam's push to use idents on videos (particularly with the lack of a livestream) the first episode began with an old fire ident found on the website. Several others thought it looked cool. It was shortened for this video.

The episode on The Love York Awards didn't feature an ident so to speak, but it featured a very early (if not the first) version of the YSTV logo.

Future Productions

Hopefully...

Awards

It was shortlisted for the Best Entertainment YUMA but lost to Strong and Stable Livestream.

4 Tech Redos	22nd October 2017	Sam Hance	N/A	Using the small amount of footage from the summer's tech redo, it is styled as an advert. It like one of those videos in supermarkets or on shopping channels, except you're having YSTV's tech team advertised. They'll come and 'fix' your control room and servers. Except, they're unavailable. All the time.
5 Christmas Massacre	December 2017	Sam Hance	N/A	In the style of a home movie caught on VHS. This episode covered the goings on throughout the whole 'festive' livestream.
