Telecommunications Video System

Telecommunications Video System (TVS) is located in the Moakley Center (MKC-110). The creative team is composed of professional and student staff, interns and a graduate assistant. They produce many video based projects for the college and its constituents, thereby creating a media-enriched campus focused on the college's strategic priorities. Productions include field and studio work for broadcast and cable TV, as well as for the Web and special events. The multi-award honored group also supports the campus' video infrastructure.

Members of the campus community can request production assistance by completing a Pre-Production Proposal. Please provide a minimum of two weeks notice. It is not always possible to honor all requests due to staffing and logistical limitations. In many cases, needs may be fulfilled by borrowing a video camera from Media Services (http://it.bridgew.edu/MediaServices/equipment.cfm) at the Maxwell Library.
