MVTV 26 August 2014

26 August 2014
We had a great show today. No real technical problems. We had chroma key issues with the sun coming through the screen. So we did a quick fix on the fly. We have set up lights above the blue screen to shine down behind the presenters so hopefully it will work. Now we have to make light boxes for the LED lights in front of them as it's too bright. Apart from that it was a good show.  We need to talk to the group about jobs.  There are too many chiefs and not enough Indians so the little jobs often get forgotten and then it falls down around them. Working as a team is good . We just need to make sure no job is too small or below them !

Continuing on .....

So this is what we have done now.
We have created a mvtvstation channel on Youtube - but its currently unlisted so you can only view it from here. It's a work in progress to see if its going to work.

MVTV August 26 Your video will be live at:http://youtu.be/VyQy0EsH7vw 

Here is the link to a few - ... feel free to leave comments here on the blog - the kids would love it !!!!!

Once we get the system in place we will be getting the kids to comment on the show each time and posting the link to the show from Youtube and that means more work !!!!!!

New way to do things

We are constantly trying and changing things so the "beast" known as MVTV is constantly evolving, and is ever time consuming, even after eleven years.
Right now we are having no end of issues with loading our mp4 shows to the web into Schooltube. So we decided to try YouTube but made it unlisted until we sorted it out. We load to YouTube then put a link to that on the school website.  But then that's going soon so it's a interim fix.
Then we will change it again !
Confusing.....?????
The show today was good and it was quick as to post it to the web then link it back. So that works for now !
