Despite the unexpected success of the previous year's output at [[NaSTA]], in early 2004 there was a debate about whether to continue to cover the tournament. This was partly because of the much reduced head count in YSTV that year who were already struggling to cover [[Elections 2004|Election Night]] later that term, but also because of the lack of co-operation received in 2003 from the organisers of the event and their refusal to include YSTV in the publicity. | |||
Coverage consisted of filming performances and interviews (with [[Pete Nichols]]) at the semi-finals, editing short videos to be played at the Final before each band played their set. | In the event [[Ed Jellard]] persuaded the station to cover it, mainly because of his increased involvement in Ents, but a compromise was reached involving coverage not beginning until the semi-finals. Coverage consisted of filming performances and interviews (with [[Pete Nichols]]) at the semi-finals, editing short videos to be played at the Final before each band played their set. This was the first outside broadcast undertaken by a combination of the [[Gang of Four]] and the team of new members recruited the Autumn before. It marked the first major YSTV event for a number of long-standing members including [[Richard Ash]] and [[Rowan de Pomerai]]. | ||
The rig was minimal, about the only option with such a shortage of experienced people available. Two cameras roved in the gap between the crowd barriers (borrowed off the Barbican in York) and the stage edge. [[Death Star]] was hung on Ent's back lighting truss, together with two projectors for the screens either side of the stage. These three were cabled back to an upstairs room in Vanbrugh college where the [[Panasonic Max]] mixed them with video playback from [[Dave Baker]]'s laptop. | The rig was minimal, about the only option with such a shortage of experienced people available.
