Despite the good quality of Liam's edit, [[Edwin Barnes|Edwin]] and [[Sam Willcocks|Sam W]] set to work improving and tightening up the edit, with Sam particularly focusing on the audio. By this point Edwin had access to the list of winners (which incluced [[Sam Willcocks|Sam W]] as Highly Commended for the Extra Mile Award, so secrecy was paramount), and so was able to supplement the edit with sneaky bits of winning things including CHMS Presents: Anything Goes, Anna Spowage from UoY Memes and Nightsafe. These worked well when the VT was played, as most attracted a cheer from their respective group. | Despite the good quality of Liam's edit, [[Edwin Barnes|Edwin]] and [[Sam Willcocks|Sam W]] set to work improving and tightening up the edit, with Sam particularly focusing on the audio.

The other VT was - as per tradition - a video interviewing the friends and colleagues of the winner of the 'Outstanding Contribution to Student Life' Award, which this year was Jaz Millar. [[Edwin Barnes|Edwin]] was contacted by Alex Lusty (the then Activities Officer at YUSU) to start production on this which consisted of filming interviews with around 10 people over the course of several days, with editing beginning before filming ended so as to see the gaps that needed to be filled by the remaining interviews. This was one of the first outings of the then very new [[Canon C100]] with the even newer 50mm f1.8 lens. | |||
The use of the new camera meant everything looked rather nice - and very depth of fieldy - and was also a useful way to justify to YUSU the large amount of money spent on it. Many of the interviews were shot outdoors on some extremely hot days and the camera coped well with the large dynamic range of these shots - although the internal ND filters were not quite enough to shoot at f1.8 without a filter thread mounted one as well. Audio was slightly problematic - the Rode shotgun mic usually used on the AC-90s was used - sometimes held and sometimes on a boom pole kindly operated by Alex Lusty, and was not always free of wind noise, plus seemed to struggle with some unexpected background hum, particularly on the interview with Marcus Crabb outside the Drama Barn. Some of this was fixed in Premiere but unfortunately some was somewhat obvious through the speakers in [[Central Hall]]. | |||
Overall the VTs were a success - they went down excellently with the audience (both eliciting applause) and the work with YUSU needed for them increased improved YSTV's reputation with them and helped justify the expenditure of the new camera - and our appliciations for more grant money! | |||
