During this shoot, we recorded two interactive scenes between a resident and their mentors. Together, they demonstrated the ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ of mentoring, using their one-minute preceptor model. Our team worked with the client to form a script, captured these scenes with 2 cameras, and then edited it together in post-production.

This community forum at the Ohio Union featured John Campo, MD, chair of Psychiatry, and other mental health professionals as they discussed the issues affecting mental health care. This conversation followed a six-day planned article series on suicide by The Columbus Dispatch. Our team worked with the Ohio Union’s AV team, to setup a 2 camera, live switch production, with a live stream to an overflow room.  

This lecture was titled: “Breaking the Red Tape: The Toll Over Regulation in Medicine.” It was one of our several systemwide grand rounds of the year. Our team setup a 2 camera, live switch, and live stream broadcast. It replaced and played at all of the grand rounds for the day. You could have watched it from your desk, or even from home! All of our equipment was setup and tested before this event kicked off at 7:00am.

This event featured members of congress as they discussed NIH funding. Members of congress Steve Stivers, Pat Tiberi, and Joyce Beatty were in attendance. The panel was moderated by Dr. Retchin. We setup a two camera live recording and two overflow rooms for attendees to watch. Our team also managed the in-room experience.

This is one of our biggest events every year. The year’s address was presented by Dr. Retchin, the Executive Vice President of Health Sciences and Chief Executive Officer of the Wexner Medical Center. He delivered the administration’s view of the medical center and the plans for our future. Our team did a 2 camera live switch recording, we setup a live broadcast available to staff inside and outside of the medical center, and we setup overflow in the Huntington Board Room and Ross Lobby. We tracked over 600 views!

This was a cool one. Our team worked with the College of Engineering to record an event which featured the CEOs from: Whirlpool, Ford Motor Company, AK Steel, and Nestle. Senator Portman was also in attendance. We setup a 3 camera live switch recording. The video was published nationally. 

Recently, three of our team members attended the “Alex Buono’s Visual Storytelling 2” workshop in Cincinnati. Alex is the Director of Photography for the Saturday Night Live Digital Shorts unit. Basically, anything you see on the show that’s not considered live, he’s responsible for shooting. In his workshop, he highlighted the equipment he uses per project, he demonstrated several lighting techniques, and he even displayed the mistakes he’s made over the years. Overall, our team really enjoyed the workshop and we will be applying it to the video projects we create.

This in-service training for the College of Dentistry on 9/8 was presented live to about 350 faculty, staff and students. We setup a 2 camera live switch recording as well as a live feed straight into an overflow room. We used both Postle Hall auditoriums.

Perfect weather means it’s time for us to go outside and shoot some b-roll. What is b-roll? B-roll is defined as supplemental or alternative footage intercut with the main shot in an interview. Typically, the more b-roll you have in your project, the better. These shots not only help tell the story, but they also add visuals to your video, and help us cover up noticeable editing cuts. Today we went around the medical center campus and shot a variety of exterior shots to be used one day in your videos!

This was our team’s first of many Heather Pick Music Program recordings in the new James. This program is designed to record and broadcast live musical performances up to the patient rooms, in addition having them in an on-demand video catalogue for browsing. Various bands, like the pictured “JP Soars & The Red Hots” will be stopping by as they’re in Columbus on tour, just to make everyone’s day happier.  We’re still working on getting the broadcasting portion up and running. We’re getting close!
