Video Production
Audiovisual Services offers varying degrees of assistance for video production.
VHS and MiniDV camcorders, tripods, microphones and lighting equipment are available at no charge
from Audiovisual Services for short term
loan to Southwestern University students,
faculty, and staff. Audiovisual Services generally
does not provide operators for
camcorders.
- University owned video equipment may be
used for class video projects, campus
organization video projects, documentation
of course or organization activities,
documentation of research, documentation
of campus events, and for personal video
recordings made on campus.
- Loans must be reserved
in advance through Audiovisual Services
by using the Online
Equipment Reservations or by calling
(512) 863-1666. Equipment must be picked
up at the Smith Library Center Circulation
Desk on the first floor. A valid Southwestern
University ID is required to check out
a camcorder.
- Camcorders are generally checked out for
a maximum
of 72 hours. During periods of high camcorder demand,
such as the last four weeks of each semester, maximum loan
time may be reduced to 24
hours.
- Camcorders must be returned to the
Smith Library Center Circulation Desk
on or before the specified return date
and time. Failure to return a camcorder
on time will result in a rental charge
of $10.00 per day until the camcorder
is returned.
- Students, faculty, and staff who
check out university owned camcorders
are responsible for the camcorder. By
signing the loan form, the borrower agrees
to reimburse Southwestern University
for the cost of the camcorder if it is
lost or stolen. The borrower also agrees
to reimburse the university for the cost
of repairs to the camcorder made necessary
by negligence or mishandling.
- Audiovisual Services generally does
not provide
blank tapes for camcorders.
Video Editing
Video editing services are available
to the Southwestern University campus
community, including students, faculty,
and staff. Audiovisual Services cannot
provide video editing services for
off campus projects.
- All video editing is subject
to the Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia.
- Video editing sessions are limited
in time and scope. The operational complexity
of the video editing systems frequently
requires that an Audiovisual Services
staff member be present to guide video
editing
sessions.
- All video editing sessions must
be scheduled well before project deadlines
to ensure that adequate time is allocated
to complete the project in a professional
manner.
- Please bring a completed Video Editing Log Form to the editing session.
- The finished project can be furnished on VHS tape, DVD or as files to be inserted into Powerpoint. Audiovisual Services does NOT supply blank media. So. please bring sufficient blank media (VHS tapes, DVDs, CDs, etc.) for your finished project.
In addition to video editing services, Audiovisual Services has 1 Mac Pro and 1 Power Mac G5 with Final Cut Studio, iMovie, iDVD and other applications. Students, faculty and staff may use these machines, by appointment, to edit video projects. Contact the Coordinator of Audiovisual Services for more information.
Audiovisual Services provides video
production services for Southwestern
University faculty and staff. Professional
video production staff and high-quality
digital equipment are available at no
charge to record campus lectures, presentations,
and other events.
If a guest speaker
or lecturer from off campus is involved,
the person requesting the event video
production must secure a written video
recording release from the speaker.
One DVD or VHS tape is provided at no charge. Additional copies can be made.
Please see AV Service's Audio and Video Duplication page for more information.
Videotapes or DVDs of campus
events can be made available on library
reserve, placed in the library collection,
or delivered to individuals
on campus.
Faculty and staff may request video
recording of campus events by calling
the Coordinator of Audiovisual Services
at (512) 863-1566. Substantial advance
notice is appreciated.
Audiovisual Services also has the capability
of producing short video programs for
Southwestern University faculty and staff.
These programs may take many forms, but
are generally used to support the academic
and student enrichment activities of
the campus.
Staff limitations govern the amount
of time available for video program production.
Since the video production process can
consume substantial amounts of time,
we require that all productions be thoroughly
planned, and that productions be scheduled
well in advance of need for the completed
video.
Please contact the Coordinator of Audiovisual Services at (512) 863-1566 to discuss
your video production needs. |
