Setting up for a voice over in the studio

Below is a diagram detailing how to set up equipment for a voice over in the studio. This diagram can also be used to set up for vocal recording of a music video.

The input signal goes from a microphone in the studio to an XLR cable which runs through the wall port into the iMac lab to the Zoom H4n input which is connected to the computer via USB. 

The monitor signal goes from the computer audio out port to a 1/8 splitter.  From there one side gets a set of headphones for the computer operator while the other side gets a long 1/8 to 1/8 cable which runs through the wall port to a 1/8 barrel adapter then to another set of headphones.

Here's a sketch:

Moodle Module: Process of Production - Production

The second module in Moodle this semester will deal with the PRODUCTION phase of what we do.  The assignments will be graded seperately and students are in charge of whether they complete the assignments in class during production time or at home.  The second module assignments will be due on March 7.

Production Calendar=WINNING!

I'm extremely proud of the newly formed 2nd semester news crews. We've switched up a major procedure when it comes to planning our news shows and they are rockin' and rollin' with the changes. In the time it would normally take us to plan two news shows, we've managed to plan almost every show for the rest of the year! Way to go e-MAS crews! I can't wait to begin production on these well organized broadcasts.

2014 Lucid Film Festival Website Up

I've decided to publish the 2014 Lucid Film Festival website "as is" and delegate all further content creation to students. Students will work collaboratively using MyPolkApps to generate plot summaries, cast bios, and much more.  I'm looking forward to the journey as this year's festival takes shape beneath creative, capable hands of my wonderful students.

You can check out the site by following the link below.
