This week I worked on Monday night for the filming of the November Call the Doctor episodes. For the first episode I sat with Ben to watch him produce the show live. It was pretty cool to watch - when Paola was running out of topics to talk about Ben could tell her through her … Continue reading Week 10 at VIA →

This week I was able to get Erika Funke, Senior Producer and Classical Music Host at WVIA-FM, to narrate my sizzle reel for the Challenger Game. I still have some tweeks and edits to do for that, but I'm looking to finish those up by the end of next week. Aside from that project, I … Continue reading Week 9 at VIA →

This week I nearly finished my sizzle reel for the Challenger Game. Without branding and effects, it is at 2 minutes right now. I began with the music as the baseline because I had to use the same music VIA used when they live recorded & edited the show, as some of the quotes I … Continue reading Week 8 at VIA →

This past week I finished my October promos, so I began learning how to create a sizzle reel for the Little League World Series Challenger Game program (a show VIA filmed at the baseball game for children with special needs). A sizzle reel is somewhat like a commercial, showcasing the best, most interesting parts of … Continue reading Week 7 at VIA →

During week 6 I learned the next step of promo production, which was to create opens for the November Call the Doctor shows. Creating the opens was essentially just a longer version of a regular promo, except it was entirely B roll (so Paola wasn't on the screen at any point) and it had more … Continue reading Week 6 at VIA →

This week, I worked at 5:30 p.m. on Monday night so that I could attend the filming of Call the Doctor. We filmed two episodes - one about robotic surgery and one about vision, during which 3 doctors from each area were guests to speak about their specific medical field. The first shoot was at … Continue reading Week 5 at VIA →

This week I continued working on National Program Highlights promo spots, such as Retro Report and Press on Masterpiece. Today, I learned some new things. I began working on the promos and opens for Call the Doctor, a show that VIA films at its studio. Using Premiere and After Effects, I made more advanced promos, … Continue reading Week 4 at VIA →

This week at VIA, I continued a lot of the projects that I had started the week prior. I created promos for Poldark, Durrells in Corfu and started a new series, Retro Report. The promos for Retro Report were a bit different, because the episodes air on both Monday and Tuesday nights as opposed to … Continue reading Week 3 at VIA →

This week I got to see a lot more of Premiere and After Effects. I spent Tuesday keying out the background (the green screen) so that I could replace the green with the chosen background (shown above) for each particular spot. I had to import the phone bar into my sequence and put it on … Continue reading Week 2, VIA Public Media →

I started my internship on Monday, August 26. This first week I got to do a lot more than I ever imagined I would my first week here! To start, Neil Prisco and I set up the audio cables for spot shooting that we were going to be doing that day. I learned that audio … Continue reading Week 1 at VIA →
