Award Winning cinematographer David Landau will give a workshop on how to use lighting as a storytelling element. Different interviews can call for different lighting, based on how we want the viewer to perceive what is being said. A better understanding of light and how lighting affects the perceptions of the viewer will help you create better images that communicate what you want the viewer to feel and think about what they are watching. All of this can be accomplished without large amounts of lighting units as David will demonstrate.

You will be able to address question specific to your needs and understand the options available to resolve your situation. Tables listed below:
What are the current expectations for providing closed captioning by your PEG facility? How might they change, and when? What do you need to do? This is your opportunity to have a conversation with a closed captioning provider to explore the options.

Community media is facing a few issues at this time that could very well impact station budgets and operations in the very near future. President Biden has certain priorities for the FCC and the 6th Circuit Court has made a decision on the 621-cable franchise order, though there is pending legislation in Congress that could fix this order. Let’s not forget that Closed Captioning is still looming on the horizon and there was a public access court decision on first amendment rights and the need for cable companies to carry PEG channels is at the forefront. If you want to stay informed and ahead of the pressing matters that could revolutionize community media as we know it, please join this session.

A video switcher does not create an excellent production. Its primary function is to cut or transition between camera shots. The difference between a typical production and one with much higher visual impact and production value is putting your cameras in motion, using sophisticated management that includes motion presets with Auto-Zoom and dolly movements. We’ll show you a few of the newest features integrated in our VDESK and Ctrl+R configurations.

Meanwhile, interest in hyperlocal content has exploded and PEG channels can move into the perfect position to leverage these trends. Come hear how LocalBTV, A FREE PLATFORM, can increase your channel's accessibility and viewership. Also come hear how LocalBTV can be used to create new channels and POTENTIALLY new sources of funding.

In March 2021, a major US City we’ve been hearing news from all year settled a lawsuit that required them to add professional human captioning to the fully AI captioning workflow they had added in 2020. This lawsuit was related a massive news story that we ALL know about, but because of the more newsworthy elements of that story, VERY FEW of us know about the smaller story of the city being required to add human captioning to the newly purchased AI workflow. Nonetheless, this precedent should change the plans of all stations which were previously spec’ing solutions that could ONLY support AI. To be clear, due to this settlement, ALL cities and PEG operations now need to consider the risks and costs related to building a system that can accommodate a demand for human captioning if a complaint occurs and it is then IMMEDIATELY required. One of the biggest problems that can befall your station or city in 2021 is an ADA complaint, whether it is informal (lucky you! you can solve the problem for just the cost of immediate implementation) or an actual, formal ADA complaint (aw dang! now you have to pay lawyers, which often costs more than the solution you are still forced to implement). The second half of the session will outline a “2021 Smart Captioning Plan”, which combines one of SIX options for AI captioning with hardware that can also immediately accommodate human captioners. Attendees who follow the steps in the 2021 Smart Captioning Plan” can have the cost benefits of AI captioning without the risk of having to completely rebuild with new hardware the moment the first complaint is received.

When looking to tell a compelling story – editing is imperative. Pacing, sound design, selection of video and music - can help to make or break any piece you're looking to produce. During this panel, we will talk with ESPN Associate Producer Joshua Vorensky who talks about finding the right NAT moments, to truly bring the viewer into the subject’s world. We will talk with ESPN Lead Post Production Editor Diego Martini who will discuss the importance of pacing especially for important and sensitive topics. And finally, composer Paul Moessi will detail the process of scoring original music as the edit is taking place. There is a distinct difference in finding vs creating the right music. We will discuss the full process involved, how it can dictate the video you select and how having a clear vision is key. The main features we will discuss are both part of the Emmy Award Winning Series – SC Featured. We encourage all who attend to view prior to attending.
