Today we had the new trainees starting and they got hit with the first task. And that is you will be asked to present on MVTV at any stage and they all had a go today. They had not seen the script and only have one practice and they all coped well.
The other crew members had to take over the rest of the jobs and the Year 8 crew are taking on a more mentoring role for the newbies !
A good show today and can be seen at http://youtu.be/PHYxsLg_wsY

We have lots of new crew training ready for MVTV in Term 1 2015 so the whole place is packed, even without the guest classes. They are all keen to learn what to do so we got some of them to present the show today !

We have had a week of gremlins but hopefully this week it's going to be better ! We have new crew and lots of new learning so there will be hiccups along the way as they learn their new jobs.

The show went relatively well today until TriCaster crashed and then we had to do a re-start !
It is the longest 90 seconds ever while you wait for it to re start......
The sound desk problem was fixed on Tuesday so it was all go there as well. It turned out it was a loose card in the desk so it was fixed in a few minutes.
The VC PIX computer didn't want to go so we took it out to the caretakers shed and took the video card out and blew it with the compressor air hose and then we did the computer as well. It was a good case to start up the sinuses as there was a lot of dust. We put it back together and it worked so it was a combination of dust and re setting the video card !
The new Year 6 crew start training next week so its going to be a bit crowded in MVTV as we make the transition.
The Year 8 crew come back this term for 3 weeks as trainers only and it's their job to get the new crew started, then after that the Year 7's take over and by the end of the term they should be ready for the first show of 2015 !

We returned from Ulearn last Thursday and all the gear was left on the floor in MVTV. We spent most of the morning setting it back up again, and there were "gremlins" to work out too. The worst part was the sound desk would not go at all !
The only solution was to plug the mics directly into Tricaster but this meant we only had 4 lapel mics so it was a bit chaotic changing mics as we changed presenters.
We had various issues but the audience hopefully didn't see or hear them, the crew took care of it as the show went on !

Today is the second Thursday in the school holidays and we are at school at 6:15 - in the morning....yes in the morning ! We pack the cars with all the gear and 24 children, 5 cars and 7 adults are off to Rotorua to the Ulearn Conference 2014.
We are presenting a workshop on MVTV to the teachers who attended Ulearn and it went very well. We were running late because of the traffic and arrive in Rotorua 20 minutes before the workshop starts. We set up the TV studio in the room and the sound desk didn't want to work, the graphics computer was not showing the graphics but we soldiered on.
From our point of view it was the worst presentation because it all didn't work properly but from the participants point of view it was the best ! They said later it was great to see that it all doesn't work 100% or glossy looks, it was great that it did have issues !
And the best part was that the students, the MVTV crew remained clam and collected and worked through the problems getting it all working in the end. They didn't scream for mr Govers help and instead they worked quietly and calmly to solve the issues. It was great to watch and showed the children knew how to sort it and work under pressure to make it work. And make it work they did, even with a few laughs in between !
We had lunch and then at 1:30 we did the second workshop on 3D Printing and Robots and that was fantastic !
We left the Conference Centre at 4, had Pizza for tea and was back on the road by 5 and then back to MVS by 8:00.
A LONG DAY !
Pictures will follow !
