BBC News - Register Your Interest!

[M]

The Concept
We will trial a day where most of the day will feature a running twitch stream with scheduled reports and breaking news/emergency coverage. It will feature all the professional idioms of any running news channel; only in PERP, shit will hit the fan every two minutes or so.

How it will work
There will be one master-streamer which controls all VODs, streams and shows. Throughout the day, there will be scheduled news bulletins and pre-recorded reports; in a studio, we will have a rota of reporters presenting the news and general stories within Paralake.

What we need
We need a confident and dedicated group of people to fulfill the following roles:

• Cameramen - Will require good internet and PC in order to provide supplementary streams of reports and events that can be edited into the main stream.
• Reporters - Reports live from scene.
• Producers - Create stories for reporters to manufacture a report upon.
• Presenters - General news presenters.

Currently Involved
@Dante - Most likely to be our main presenter.
@Duffy - Political Correspondant

Up for the challenge?
Register your interest below. Keep in mind that you will have an assigned rota on a day surrounding the availability you provision to us; you should dedicate to this otherwise you will be barred from future, similar projects.

Name: Sam Duffy (Both IC and OOC)
Desired Role: Presenter
Why you would suit this role: Well I've had experience both on a news channel and live on TV and I managed not to bugger that up. so I thought why not try it here. Not to mention I did something like this in year 8 (BBC School Report) where we had to make our own BBC news session and I spoke as a presenter about the war in Libya, we came 3rd 1st. I'll love to take part depending on the date/times.

Why you would suit this role: I would like to take on this role because I like to have a challenge and I have a good confidence level on me so I wont be a shy presenter and give my 110% attitude to the stream. My voice will be clean + before I have been on an actual BBC School report when I was in year 5 :O Many years ago so yer. Also this is kinda related but not, once I went to a football game with about 30,000 people and I was interviewed on a screen.

Test runs for shows are going great. Everything put out on the twitch is live from the game. Pretty nifty.
Here's the set up

And here's the result

Stream is twitch.tv/paralakenews . Not live atm but will be

EDIT: Since people are asking how this is working, i'll explain as best as I can.
The green screen shown in the set up picture is a loop being displayed on an admin TV. Then, using XSplit, the appropriate pictures and videos are superimposed. Everything technical is done by @Chris , @Duffy and Josh are reporting and I'm doing something (i'm not sure what)
