We're delighted to have been shortlisted in the Online Education Resource Award category in the @LearnonScreen Awards 2019! https://t.co/LsHrxbqGd5 @ProfJohnEllis @NickXHall @RhulMediaArts

Thanks for following us... and watch this space!

Though our core research is finished, there's more to come: we've some exciting new projects up our sleeve. We hope that you enjoy the fruits of our work, and we hope that it helps to shed some light on some of the hidden professions of television production.

The project was funded by @ERC_Research (🇪🇺❤️) including full grants for two brilliant PhD students - Tim Heath delved into the history of television sound recording, while Rowan Aust researched the shift from analogue to digital film and video editing.

The project was dreamt up by @ProfJohnEllis; videos produced and edited by Amanda Murphy; @nickxhall did the website and wrangled the data; @james_a_bennett and @NikiStrange researched a parallel project on social media in TV production. Full team info:

We couldn't have done this without the enthusiastic and often voluntary participation of countless television production veterans, collectors, and enthusiasts; many of their stories are told on our website

There's an accompanying website, too, which explains some of the context to our work:

MAJOR NEWS We spent the last five years filming historical television production processes - from cutting 16mm docs on a Steenbeck, to Betacam and the Avid. And now it's all on YouTube, free forever for viewing and reuse:

Great watch for any Quantel Paintbox fans. There's about an hour of footage here where the Paintbox (90s era) V-Series is being demonstrated, as well as some nice reenactments by the original Editors, Directors, Engineers. OB van, U-Matic, VT, and AVID editing etc. etc. ;)

#CSTConfSep2018 Just out: over 130 videos showing ‘How Television Used to be Made’ with website in simple (we hope) terms. Old school TV (and attitudes) all in one place https://t.co/LMpjqlzNhy

Panel recommendations for #socialtv training: @Media_Trust @BBCAcademy @IndieTraining and Guardian Masterclasses

"Short form" in TV is "long form" in #SocialTV! Trends are moving towards longer content and TV can take advantage of this. @davidlevin123 Producers also successfully partnering with brands to pitch socially-driven, ad-funded programming.

#SocialTV where are the opportunities for social when TV is "always on"? @KeMaddigan producers increasingly need to think of shows as brands - young audiences want to be part of something all the time. But this is a big change to make.

Panel discussion - "digital natives" still important but knowing how to use platforms isn't enough. Training required to use social appropriately for the show/brand/broadcaster. #socialtv

Shifting power dynamics mean platform operators wield unparalleled influence - but platforms need TV and are keen to partner with production companies to create quality content. #socialtv
