Great episode, so good I watched it twice hah. I'm in college right now for broadcasting, and seeing all that equipment made me swoon. I wish I lived in the San Francisco area so I could intern for Rev3!

Keep in mind that when you're doing live to tape it's not the same as live on air, you can still do multiple takes. Granted if you are doing true live to tape you would have to run the switcher, CG, etc again each time you do a new take. To avoid this problem you can capture your video from the camera separate from all your control room equipment, then you can just re-shoot your anchors and overlay the graphics in post production. That being said I much prefer just shooting and editing everything in post production (Final Cut is what I use), yes this takes more time and it's as convenient if you need to do re-shoots but the amount of control (in my opinion) is greater and you don't need as many people in the control room (less chance for screw up, etc).

Hi, there. Brill video of behind the scene's of the new studio. I was just wondering what software are you using for your digicart system.
Thanks.
Geraint.

I also loved this episode. I love the fact that you recorded the actual walkthough with your crew and not rerecord it 'for the kids'.
To me it reminded me of the things I did in the past at our local tv-station and the work I now do annually for a local cultural festival, although your studio looks like high budget in comparison. We had a (2nd hand, self built, donated) teleprompter, but it was just the prompter. So I wrote the teleprompter software myself using Macromedia Director (only thing I knew at the time). Dunno, maybe it could have kept your whole studio-operation mac-based if you wrote it yourself. I mean in the end it's just auto-scrolling text with speed-control.

This was probably the most interesting and enjoyable video I've watched online this year... And I've seen a lot. If I wasn't in IT, it'd without a doubt love to work in production/theater.

that has already been covered... and apparently Dave called it that because he knows others at Rev3 will and are calling it. Perhaps because they can't grasp the concept that it is an ellipsoidal and you put gobos in it? idk, seems odd but hell as long as the person you're talking to grabs the right thing when you want an ellipsodial, even if you have to call it a gobo.

I like the technical look behind the scenes! However, the light that Dave called a gobo is actually called an ellipsoidal. You can use them to project gobos (non-technical term) or patterns (technical term). Just thought you should know. I hope you guys get a light board and dimmer pack soon...it'll add a lot to your production value.

"I know everyone is saying that RV3G should be turned into something like what was seen in this episode. I think instead that a new show needs to be made for all of this stuff. Let the Gazette stay what it is. I know there is plenty of people that would be interested in watching some more of what was seen on episode 11. There are plenty of us video nerds that would love to watch some more of Dave Randolph's ramblings. Dave could have some video tips for everything from editing, shooting, & equipment reviews. If you think a show like this would be cool, let Revision3 know that you are interested in it. Think PixelPerfect, but for video.
Dave, where did you go to school for, and what did you major in? Also would you be interested in doing a show for Revision3 like that? Thanks for the great video Dave, I know a lot of people really liked it.

Absolutely brilliant idea!
I'm a freshman in High School, looking a Broadcast/TV as a career option. I currently run video production for two services at the church I attend. We use MediaShout and a MXPro DV switcher for 'live' stuff and Sony Vegas 6 for editing, and After Effects for some other stuff too.
This episode was truly inspiring, and I'd love to see much more content like this.
