At the same time a remote reporter and camera op were sent to East Campus to report live from the Cycling. As the internet connection at cycling was not stable enough for a live connection, the reporter would record short moments of commentary with the velodrome behind and send them over to the studio to be mixed into the coverage 'as live'.

The Archery and Pool streams remained stable till their end and we were finally in the home stretch. Sunday afternoon featured the Vice Chancellor and Sports Presidents' challenge that had been pre-recorded and so were able to played out 'as live' too. The final two livestreams of the weekend were A Question of Roses (a YSTV take on a question of Sport), which saw the sports' committees from Lancaster and York go head to head and featured a hilarious title sequence featuring real footage from previous years' Roses. This stream was entirely virtual with competitors and hosts all joining remotely via zoom.

As VT Lead, [[Max Roach]] formed the [[Edit Ferrets]], a team of editors to help with the creation of VTs for Roses Unlocked. This team of 'Ferrets' continued under Max's reign as [[Head of Presentation]]. The VTs for Roses Unlocked took a variety of forms: highlight reels from sports events and studio segments, pre-recorded footage of sports teams from before the Roses Weekend, interviews with the Chancellor of the University of York, as well as interviews with former Sports Presidents' about why Roses was important and what it meant to them.

Summary Videos
Two of the most popular and infamous VTs from the weekend, were Louis' Vox Pops and the Long Boi VT.


Long Boi
Louis' Vox Pops featured the one and only [[Louis Dickson]] chaotically running around Greg's Place asking the students there what their favourite part of Roses had been, and seemingly no one was actually paying any attention to what had been going on answering things such as 'rugby' which had not taken place.


Vox Pops
It was coincidentally the weekend of Roses Unlocked that James Cordon famously proclaimed Long Boi, a tall duck on the University of York's campus, to be the tallest duck in the world standing over 1m tall (which was a blatant lie). The VT concerning Long Boi showed [[Alex Towells]] going on a hunt for the tall duck and interviewing others also doing so.
