Summer Ball

The Summer Ball is a annual event put on by YUSU, usually taking place around week 9 of summer term. At least since 2017Unverified or incomplete information the ball used the venue of York's Race Course. As this one of the biggest campus events of the year, YSTV have traditionally been granted media passes in order to cover the event in one or more videos.

2018

Produced by Edwin Barnes, this Summer Ball brought two new elements into play: a announcement video and drone shots. Since YSTV was allowed in the venue earlier than regular visitors, he edited a short video with presenters Charlotte Rogers and Joel Mitchell expecting other guests at the race course. This video was released before the event's official beginning. The drone was provided by Richard Jones, who shot a lot of aerial coverage of the events. In the following week, Edwin Barnes also edited a shorter video of the presenters (plus Andy Tallon) on the ferris wheel and a longer main video, which also included segments with similarity to Behind the Streams. Other fun tidbits: Stephanie Shires nearly killed herself Thomas Schubert when she caused a crash with a bumper car due to a lack of driving skills.

2019

Produced by Olivia Gibbs, this year featured a wide array of videos ranging from interviews to traditional event coverage and presenter challenges. In advance, every video had an assigned producer. However, due to the horrible wheather on the day, some video ideas had to be abandoned. YSTV's coverage was presented by Charlotte Rogers and Jacob Boyle.
