==things==
* Fast food. A show about food that is fast. Takeaways, quizzes, and some bloke who has a strange habit of blending/liquidising cheap meals. Fast food's first episode was a complete disaster, and the only interesting thing was apparently Chris Young's choice of clothing. For some unknown reason, people insisted on watching it. As a result, Mike hid the episode from the website's view, in the hope that it would sink down the search results! Series 2 will not happen, as Mike spent too long fixing Comms and the Main Mux...


==Not Happening (yet)==
* Create YSTV "big logo" idents. Go round campus projecting logo all over the place.
*big stained sugar glass ident: make big logo in colours (transparent is hard to make) then get someone to jump through it.
** It works.
** needs bigger fridge.
 
*Politics meets gameshow show. Nuff said.
** needs general election...Oh wait!
** needs general election to happen after holidays. Which looks unlikely now ...


* Infinite loop idents / stings
**done (LOGOcutout, and TVloops)


==Happening==
* GD set.
* fast food. A show about food that is fast. takeaways, quizzes, and some bloke who has a strange habit of blending/liquidising cheap meals.
** A glowing pulsating monstrous set, requiring over 400 foot of jigsawing. The GD set is wheeled out almost every year now. The sets feature a TRON-esque series of channels cut from the 8'x4' boards, filled with grease-proof paper, then back-lit with a suitably "electric blue" or other colour. The grease-proof paper's imperfections make for a somewhat "bio-mechanical" feel, and when a chase is applied to the back lighting many people note that it makes the room feel alive.
** title sequence = done
** Series 1 episode 1 - done.
** Series 1 episode 2 - going to happen, probably week 5/6.


* Create YSTV "big logo" idents. Go round campus projecting logo all over the place.
* Chainable video matrixes
** It works. but needs more lumens ...
** Over 2010 - 2011, Mike set about building the "better than standard" video matrix system. Built as two 8-in 8-out matrixes, they can also join together to make a larger 16x8 system. They conform to Mike's standard "YVP".


* Create infinite loop idents / stings
* YVP (YSTV Vision Path)
** filming of idea 1 complete, 1st draft ready, finishing touches to make.
** Because having everything talk to everything else is so cool.
** YVP is pretty much butchered XML, with the driving principle being that machines can be used to create a mass routing table: this can then be read off to various other bits of kit, which can then display and react on the fly. For example, someone connects up three cameras, and isn't familiar with how the vision path works. All they do is open the YVP program, tell it they want ''those'' three cameras from ''those'' plugs in the studio, to go on ''those'' vision mixer inputs. The system then arranges itself, complete with matching tally lights. The Vision Mixer then reports back which inputs are live, and the YVP machine activates the tally lights accordingly.
