Channel 10 would love to see Las Vegas have a local cooking show, Shelli Jones, KLVX program manager, said. It would do tremendous things for Las Vegas as a tourist site to have a show that would feature the incredible chefs in town. The show also needs a high quality of production and writing that flows from recipe to recipe, she said. The production quality of the first three episodes last semester were still rough, Lambertz said. Rented equipment and professionals were brought in for the third and fourth episodes.
Students fit four cameras into the teaching kitchen to provide more angles.
Control and engineering units are in the kitchen next door. Most of the students have taken production classes, video editing, writing for broadcast, mass communication and introduction to studio advertising. It's a very intensive course on communication. Yet while technical skills are necessary, the focus is on production, he said. The students are learning to be creative, think visually and think logically.
