It seems so simple.  As a student in COMM240 TV Studio Production at SUNY Cobleskill, your first assignment is to serve as the producer of a short studio based talk show.  Three cameras, basic graphics, and basic audio.  Bu as you'll see here, it can be tough to pull off a perfectly smooth studio production even under the most basic guidelines.

This video is a pretty good example of a typical "first production" in the video production studio on the campus of SUNY Cobleskill.  Communication students run the entire show, rotating through several positions such as producer, director, technical director, audio, graphics, studio camera operator, floor director, teleprompter operator, on camera host, and on camera guest.

This production also was challenged by getting to know our brand new integrated video production switcher from Broadcast Pix, along with our new pro level studio cameras, graphic systems, and audio systems.  Students also use the Rundown Creator web based media production tool, arranging content and prepping a script deigned to serve as the guide for a live, one take studio based media production.

You'll also notice some flubs, some mistakes, some wrong camera shots, and even possibly some out of focus elements.  All part of the learning process.  It doesn't take long for students to figure out that every job position matters, and that creating effective media is no easy task.  Like anything, it takes work and practice.  

That's what the Communication programs at SUNY Cobleskill are here for.
