Video Production

We offer a high quality programme production service to staff and students. Documentaries, promotional videos and teaching packages are some of the many types of video we produce each year, at little or no cost to departments.

We have broadcast quality camera and editing equipment and a team of technicians to produce high quality programmes with proper lighting, sound recording and graphics. It may be you want to record a complex experiment that's difficult to reproduce, or interview an expert in their field for use as a lecture insert, or a promotional programme for your department. How about a specialist educational programme your department could use for teaching, or sell to other institutions, or put in the library for students to access!

We only charge for the DVD copies that we give you. Some programmes need the use of a professional actor to produce a good quality voice over. This costs £150.

We have a short demo tape showing some programmes we have recently made, if you would like a DVD copy please let us know and one will be sent via internal mail.

Video Editing

AVS has open access video editing facilities for use by students and staff. This allows editing of suitable pre recorded material.

Possible uses would be:

• editing programmes used for teaching, to save looking for specific sections during lectures
• editing adverts out of programmes used for teaching
• students presentations or projects

There is no charge for this service, although blank DVDs or tapes have to be purchased. It can be booked by telephoning the Information Service Desk on extension 1234, or by e-mailing isd@gcal.ac.uk. We operate on a first come first served basis with no minimum notice period. The facilities are easy to use after some basic instruction, however, our technicians will be available to help.

We have three camcorders available for loan to staff or students.
