Olivia Gibbs: Difference between revisions

Olivia joined YSTV in autumn 2017. Initially Olivia was a quiet, shy fresher – a fact that would shock people who know her now. She is one of the TFTV bunch and enjoys being the third wheel to the [[Dynamic Duo]]. She became the [[Secretary]] at the 2018 elections and the[[Production Director]] at the 2019 elections. She is famed for being the face of YSTV, when interviewed by Sky News about the impending coronavirus, in February 2020.

== Notable Achievements ==

* Vision Mixing the groundbreaking Live Interactive drama: Please Sir There's Been A Murder!

* Co-directing [[Love York Awards 2019]] with [[Thomas Schubert]]

* Producing [[Summer Ball 2019]]

* Producing [[Dogs of York]]

* The only secretary in years to actually edit over 50 Amendments to the YSTV Constitution  

* Learning After Effects and creating graphics such as the URYSTV opening titles

* Driving the minibus very safely through a multi-story parking lot and definitely not scratching it at all

Her first production was a Coffee House Session that got cancelled but it was where she first met the lovely Steph who persuaded her to keep going to more productions. She then camera operated for International Student Association Performance night. She then went AWOL whilst she tried out different societies, and mostly, didn’t like them.  

She is so glad that she stuck with YSTV and had a great year as Secretary reading all the terrible spam emails and starting to produce more productions such as Sixty Seconds with STYCs. She also accidentally ended up producing an entire Halloween Livestream all because she wanted to do pumpkin carving.  

The highlight of her time at YSTV is, of course, winning Best Broadcaster at NASTA 2019.

| Produced by [[Raquel Barta]], Olivia signed up on the calendar and thoroughly enjoyed getting to be apart of the event and meet many more YSTV members.

| [[Election Results Night 2018]]

| VT Operator

| My first time with the 'big kids' in the control room getting to press the button to play the intro VT and count out the VTs, and witnessing [[Edwin Barnes]] enthusiastic directing.

|-

| [[Roses 2018]]

| Various Roles including Vision Mixing and Directing

| She joined on the road trip led by to Lancaster and loved the chance to hop onto as many different live streaming roles as possible! This was where she first learnt of the chaos of all green and tangled SDI cables. Lots of coiling was done that weekend.

| Wireless Camera OP

| Used the C100 for the first time and filmed the wireless shots of Love York Awards, learning very quickly how to operate the C100 and get the right shots.

|-  

| Camera OP

| Joined [[Stephanie Shires]] and her trusty team to film the Micklegate Soapbox challenge, which was heaps of fun and she was very happy to be the 'ramp camera'.

|-

| [[Summer Ball 2019]]

| Executive Producer  

| This was her first big boi production, and she was executive producer overseeing all the productions to come out of the ball, as many members wanted to produce videos. The weather was terrible and the organisation fell apart a little. However, videos were made and it was enjoyable all the same!

|-

| [[Everything Sucks]]

| Writer and co-Director

| An idea that Olivia had been itching to make was made possible on this 48hr challenge, and with the help of [[Thomas Schubert]] at 2am the script was fully realised as a comedy following down-on-his-luck Derek. The script became lost in a laptop crash and the later rendition of the script for NASTA 2020 submissions was rewritten with the aid of [[Jacob Boyle]], renaming the characters such as 'Kinky Man' and 'Sexy Male Protagonist'.
