video and audio projects begin with a thorough pre-production planning and discussion phase. If you have never created a video, the Yale Broadcast Studio is here to guide you on pre-production operations. If you have created hundreds of videos, consider some of the following strategies for your next project.</p><ol><li>Schedule an initial discussion to review your project. We have a document to help guide this conversation. Prepare to answer questions and make decisions about your timeline, goals, and project strategy.</li><li>Schedule a site visit. We will come to you for on-site videos or you can visit the Studio if we plan to shoot at 135 College Street. Plan to discuss set design, security, and lighting.</li><li>Confirm the day-of schedule, including a set-up time, shoot duration, and break-down time.</li><li>Share information about other vendors. We will want to coordinate with our colleagues in ITS Audio/Media Services or other sound reinforcement groups to make sure everyone understands their technical responsibilities.</li><li>Plan to test technical settings such as, lighting, internet speed, and sound quality. We want to make sure all aspects of the shoot run smoothly.</li><li>Confirm that all participants have signed photo, video, and audio releases. We can share samples if you do not have your own version.</li><li>Confirm financial information and arrange for billing with a Workday COA or a credit card.</li></ol><p>For larger projects, we may require additional pre-production measures (e.g. scriptwriting, casting, or set design and construction).</p></div>       </div> </article>  </div>  </div>  </div> </div> <div class="sidebar-right">     <div class="region region-content-right">     <div id="block-yale-broadcast-contact-info-2" class="callout-orange block block-block-content block-block-content8fa1fca8-91ce-4add-830e-3c7e84664bbb"> <h2>For more information</h2>     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><h5><strong>Recordings in a classroom or other Yale venue:</strong></h5><p>Email: <a href="mailto:craig.tomlin@yale.edu">craig.tomlin@yale.edu</a> </p><h5><strong>Studio production or broadcast session:</strong></h5><p>Email: <a href="mailto:douglas.forbush@yale.edu">douglas.forbush@yale.edu</a> </p><h5><strong>Podcast studio:</strong></h5><p>Email: <a href="mailto:ryan.mcevoy@yale.edu">ryan.mcevoy@yale.edu</a></p><h5><strong>YouTube distribution:</strong></h5><p>Email: <a href="mailto:guy.ortoleva@yale.edu">guy.ortoleva@yale.edu</a> </p></div>  </div>      <div id="block-yale-broadcast-testimonialdescribeexperiencewithbroadcast5" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentd23e758f-a568-4ec0-9fca-e0dabecf23c7">     <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><blockquote><p><strong>Year after year, Yale Broadcast delivers with outstanding results.
