York Come Dancing 09-10

Held in the Autumn term of the 2009/2010 academic year, York Come Dancing is Dance Sports rip-off of BBCs Strictly Come Dancing.

Throughout the term YSTV produced weekly 'round up' shows of the rehearsals that week. Finally on Sunday Week 8, YSTV broadcast the Finals live from Central Hall.


The Rig

With any luck, what you are about to read will enable you to replicate this setup with very little difficulty.

Set Type things:

Rig Plan

YCDPlan0910.png

  • The main Control room will be located in the Projection Room on the Balcony, with Sound Op and Lighting Op both outside the booth using AV Equipment.
  • Cameras will be positioned above the left and right stairwell entrances, at the back of the centre seating block for a Wide Shot, and one backstage for interview set.
  • Howard, the remote control camera, will be flying from the Lighting Rig
  • In addition, we will be providing two Follow Spot operators.

Vision

In terms of patching we will have all 5 Cameras Sources, plus VT PC going into DaVE P169, which will in turn feed DaVE. P169 Control Laptop in Conjunction will provide a Touchscreen interface to the P169. There will be preview monitors for all sources, as well as the Main Output.

The main output will be DA'd and will have two feeds to ystvencode for capture and stream. An additional feed will go to VTA for SVHS capture. Finally there will be a copy of the Video sent backstage as a preview.

Audio

Audio will be mostly provided by AV.

There will be a series of wired mics for the judges (4?), plus at least one wireless mic for the Main Presenter (maybe two actually). Additionally, the backstage presenter will have a wired Mic, plus a mic or two for interviewees.

Audio will also come from VT PC for VT playback, plus some music source (cd player?) for the dancers.

All audio will be mixed using AVs Sound desk.

The primary audio mix will be for the Central Hall PA, with a subgroup being mixed and routed to our streaming and capture setups.

Computing Considerations

  • Network Socket in Project Booth needs to be tested ahead of time to ensure that it works and is on the correct network.
  • ystvencode needs to be tested ahead of time to ensure all software is working correctly, and it can stream/record.
  • ystvencode will need some storage space clearing out too.
