YSTV Sessions (a.k.a. Sessions) could be YSTV wanting to create videos of artsy shots of musicians and instruments, an easy way to experiment with sets and lighting, a way to put the Behringer X32 to good use, a way to get back at URY for introducing cameras or an amalgamation of multiple of these - there may be no way to tell for sure...

The set changed a lot over the first year of productions, transitioning from black and white cut outs of popular artists' album covers to something that unintentionally ended up looking like the set on Radio 1's Live Lounge Album cover. It is also possibly one of the few productions where the rig, wires and flight cases are supposed to be seen in camera shots.

YSTV Sessions teamed up with Head First 4 Music and started producing episodes of interviews with the artists that were filmed.

It is possible that YSTV sessions is where members realised Edwin Barnes' obsession with hair-lights.

Entries for Awards

NaSTA 2017 Music: YSTV Sessions - Feed Them To The Forest Sadly this entry did not win, but in the hearts of our members, especially Edwin Barnes (the producer, director, camera op and editor) and Hui-Ling Phillips (the audio mixer) will be one of the quickest, last minute edits for submission which had the most beautiful camera angles, hairlights and audio. For context to those not party to the submission debacle, roughly 2.5 hours before the submission deadline Hui-Ling and Edwin realised that the audio for the NaSTA Music entry had not been edited. So over Hui-Ling messaged Edwin over Slack while audio editing in the studio, which after a while of messing, it was found had an odd function added to it, so that was very fun but also stressful and worked out, in their totally unbiased opinion it turned out fantastic!
