BTV Budget Allocation

BTV Budget Allocation: The Real Deal
AWARDED
Item
1 camera
2 scheduling software
3 shotgun mic
4 shotgun boom
5 one umbrella light

6 DIY Lighting
7 DIY Dolly
8 DIY Fig Rig
9 Hard Drive
10 Monitor

This means that we have $185.36 to spend on a shotgun mic and boom. Our expected shotgun mic kit cost was $250. W
could cut the DIY lighting fund down and maybe get a not-so-intense hard drive (didn't we say that we probably wouldn't n
one that big anyway?), so as not to screw us over on sound. Our lighting situation is much more fortunate than our sound
situation, and I don't think we can compromise on sound. We may even consider scratching the light umbrella kit. It's got a
of valuable stuff including the stand and umbrella, but again I'll imagine we'll be doing more naturally lit scenes than
composition scenes at the start. I had thought of requesting better mics anyway, but I couldn't tell why some were better o
than the name. Maybe we can shop around some more. And didn't we actually really need that miscellaneous cables fund
Bottom line, right know our variable fund doesn't look like it' gonna cover much. Your thoughts?

Brown Television
Detailed Guide
Budget Spring 2009

Estimated Price Arguments
$6,300.00 It's very simple: if we are awarded another
camera, the productivity of BTV is in an instant
doubled. This is the most basic and effective
addition to our bed of resources.Not only can
our productions be taken from more angles (3
angles is the minimum for a quality live
recording), but we can record two or three
events in one night when our workers go out
into the field, thus increasing the depth of our
programming. The XHA1 is used by
professional videographers, and is essentially
the state of low-budget quality filmmaking right
now, it being the lowest price for serious High
Definition video around. Canon is reliable, and
is now the minimum standard for our needs, as
anything less would render the quality of the
XHa1 void.
$800.00 We need a protection plan with an investment
this large. The one we have with our current
XHa1 includes yearly cleanings at a hugely
discounted rate.

$1,300.00 There can really be no debate about this: we
need tripods. Our old tripods do not and cannot
function with our current camera, and this is a
serious drawback. These are inexpensive
tripods in comparison, but meet our standards
of strength- they hold 17 pounds. Tripods not
only allow stylistic stability, but it allows the
camera to remain stationsary and record a
campus event relatively unsupervised. It allows
students and not just staff to create
programming. These tripods will be in for the
long haul, and will undergo a lot of stress, so
cheap tripods, in quality that is, are an
imprudent investment.

$300.00 We could try building a weak crane for up to
$200 or spend a little more and not have to
worry about getting a new one. Ths is the
absolute least expensive crane we could find
that could hold our camera. This allows for a
stellar professional look and adds an
unbelieveable amount of depth to a production.
This meets our standards, because our
standard is simply that we have a crane.

$300.00 The dolly runs of the same case as the crane,
except the dolly can be more used in a more
versatile manner. We can make a dolly, but it
will never be as smooth as a real one.

$500.00 Many non-simple productions are done without
tripods and can track a subject fluidly as if it
were on a dolly. This professional tool adds
many points to the seriousness of a production,
and this is as well the most inexpensive
stabilizer we could find to support our camera's
weight, but it is very important we have one.

$9,500.00

$120.00 Stability in audio is key, and these grips,
relatively inexpensive, ensure than even a
rookie is getting all the help he can.

$270.00 We need another microphone with another
camera. We are currently using the Rode
NTG-2, which is a relatively low end but
effective microphone, and we are willing to
sacrifice an upgrade in order to allow funding for
other areas. The NTG-2 meets our minimum
standards

$140.00 We will be conducting interviews soon and
these microphone stands will be of the utmost
importance when recording live plays or music,
etc. These are relatively bottom of the line
stands that do nothing more than their job.
$720.00 If we want any informal field interviews to take
place (and we do for documentaries and a
possible news show), we need lavaleer mics,
which are the small mics that clip onto shirts
and will track sound even if the subject is
turning or his back is facing the camera---
something a shotgun mic (so focused) cannot
do. Lavaleer microphones were used on
"Elected" and after talking with the director Matt
Vascellaro, who is currently in LA, he
recommended we stick with them at all costs.
these are wireless, and we need four of them
because we need the option of mic-ing up as
many people as possible, for group interviews
and plays.

$160.00 We are actually lacking in our asking for
protection of our equipment, but because the
digital recorder below will in particular be doing
a great deal of travel, it is important it is well
protected. This is a standard case and meets
our standards.
$700.00 If you want ANY live shows--spoken word,
music, plays, operas, anything--to be recorded
with one source of consistent sound, we need
an external recording device. This is one that
RISD uses, that we have tried and been
impressed with. This meets our standards, and
we emphasize the importance of this device.
$90.00 Footage from November 4th, Election Day, was
later found to have had half of its sound erased.
This could have been avoided if we had
professioal headphones to ensure the quality of
sound on the scene. And really, what are all the
mics for if we can't even hear if they're working
when we're in the field? These are pretty
(absolutely) crucial sound---we're not even
asking for a mixing board!

$380.00 Microphones are made to go on boom poles, so
that the microphone can get as close to the
subjhect as possible without being on camera.
This boom pole we've asked for is adequately
long and sturdy- and best it keeps the wire
inside the pole so as not to catch the noises and
inconveniences of a hanging wire.

$2,580.00


$250.00 I mean, how else are we supposed to record
anything? Right now we're asking for $50, and
we may need more, especially since we are
also working on the Election Day documentary
and will be accruing a wealth of additional
interview footage. These are HDV tapes, which
we need because we shoot in High Definition.
We could use cheaper tape,s but you run the
risk of them jamming your camera and the tape
messing up, which isn't worth the budget-
cutting.
$50.00 Half of BTV right now is digitizing all of our old
videos onto a hard drive and keeping a hard
copy of them. We need blank dvds to do that.
We will organize all of our old videos so we
save space and continue to archive new footage
in the same manner.
$75.00 We are currently uninformed as to how exactly
our new workplace will be wired to IPTV. This
fund is really a modest guess as to what funds
we may need to rewire ourselves back onto
IPTV.
$375.00

$1,050.00 An in--depth lighting guide can be found in the
budgetary packet. These are high quality,
professional lights and they meet our standards.
They are not above our standards: they are our
srandards. The ballasts, or light controls, that
come with this cost a significant amount, but it
gives us the option of changing the intensity of
the light, which is an invaluable resource.

$150.00 we need lamps to actually make the light fixture
worth anything

$80.00 This is an inexpensive way to get some
impressive creative color lighting.

$80.00 One of the biggest issues in lighting is really
how diffused the light should be. These diffusers
allow us to further diffuse our Kino Flo lights or
they allow us to diffuse the tungsten lights

$315.00 This is ESSENTIAL to lighting: it's the main
light.

$40.00 Bulbs to light the tungsten fixtures. Daylight
bulbs complement natural daylight

$25.00 These gels go over the lights and create colors
in this way. It's inexpensive and effective for
more colorful, interesting scenes.

$500.00 This kit does not meet our standards, but in the
realm of things that don't meet our standards,
this is the best we can ask for. Let me reiterate,
we won't want this: we want the Kino Flo. But If
worse comes to worse, we need something.
This comes with a ket light, a fill light, and an
overhead light, which will serve the purpose for
interviews.

$140.00 This comes with bulbs, umbrellas, and al the
clasps necessary

$108.00 At first glance this seems unimportant, but it
was explained to us by a BTV alumn like this: "I
was walking on set and I asked the director
what those sandbags were for. He said 'so you
don't knock over the light and kill yourself.'"
There are serious safety risks that can be
assuaged with sandbags. They can we
weighted down with anything, but hold a
particular form that allows them to rest on stand
legs.
$290.00 For interviews. This is a standard, wonderfully
inexpensive necessity for interviews. This meets
our minimum standards: this is the most
inexpensive fill light on bhphoto.com. These do
not come with bulbs.

$600.00 These stands are all-purpose, sturdy stands that
are easy to move. This is one of the best
investments we can make. This does not double
as a mic stand, however.

$35.00 A cuculoris is a an object with a design cut out
in order to shape the lighting. It adds an
exponential amount of stylisitc depth to the
lighting of a production (particularly a
documentary) for a very small price. See an
illustration of this here: ().
$100.00 Not all of the fixtures above come with lights,
and we will need to replace some broken old
lightin equipment in the BTV studio.
$65.00 The green screen literally opens up a digital
world of possibilities. We can do shows in
Antarctica, under the sea, or in Delaware.

$3,578.00

$100.00 It's much more difficult than just buying one:but
if we need to, we can build our own dolly.
Several models exist at different price points,
and $75 is a bit more than the minimum amount
of funds that we would need to make sure the
dolly could be created and created well.
Materials include pvc pipes, boards of wood,
various metal parts, and sturdy wheels (the
most important part). In addition, we need to put
a push bar and a cameraman's chair on the
dolly. We will naturally try to get all of our
materials from Hardware stores, hrift stores, and
the like.
$30.00 There are models that can be made for a
minimum of $10. These funds allow us to make
multiple figrigs with a bit of comfort room.
$125.00 This will be used on materials not awarded in
the original lighting fund. Things like flood lights,
sheets, bins- very guerilla, unprofessional forms
of filmmaking that we'd rather not resort to, but
we would need some kind of funding to back us
up if worse came to worse.

$75.00 This year we faced a serious problem: we had
equipment that we didn't know how to use. And
we had no way to get out of it. These
educational resources are absolutely
ESSENTIAL. We now have a Filmmakers
Resource Center which holds the job of reading
books and watching videos on the filmmaking
process and creating an informational booklet
for aspiring filmmakers. They read and take
notes so you don't have to! This is an
unbelieveable resource we're going to offer for
free! It could put us on the map! But we can't
expect students to purchase hundreds of dollars
of books and dvds on their own. We're buying
books used, because we're on a budget. But
our Filmmakers Resource CEnter has no job
unless they have access to educational
materials. How else are we supposed to know
how to use our equipment?
$75.00 see above

$200.00 see above

$50.00 As often happens when building something, it is
likely that we will find ourselves run our of
money with more work to do. This $50 is a
cushion for all DIY projects, for unforeseen or
as-of-yet-unresearched problems.
$655.00

$250.00 No question: we need a hard drive, and we
need a good one. Ebay has hard drives for
inexpensive prices, and the cheapest we've
found is $250 for a Gtech hard drive, which is a
solid, reputable brand. We cannot accept
anything less than a Gtech hard drive, and we
cannot be worrying about space. We have such
a wealth of potential programming that this is no
longer about starting out. This request is our
minimum standard.
$800.00 We have one computer which must be devoted
to programming, and we MUST have another
that staff uses for operating our rental system,
keeping important administrative files, and
editing video footage while we are broadcasting.
We already have an old monitor and a keyboard
to work with, but no computer. As the next
request will indicate, this monitor does not meet
our minimum standards.

$800 Editing is a complex process, and anyone who's
(for two) tried professional editing on a standard sized
screen has seen the disappointments and
tribulations therein. We need a large screen to
edit on, and will not settle for a used monitor.
We also shoot and will be producing in HD, so
we need a monitor that will be conducive to this.
$700 is one of the cheapest prices we've found
for two monitors. These monitors meet our
standards, and we are trying to get discounted
prices off ebay. We'll be fortunate to get $400
prices.
$1,050.00

$30.00 A large group of the staff will be spending long,
continuous hours in the studio. They should
have the option of bringing microwaved food to
keep in our fridge, and eating it as they work so
time is not wasted at the dining halld.

$150.00 Since Faunce is being renovated, we will need a
wealth of bins to contain all of our equipment.
Honestly, this amount is very modest
considering the wealth of wires, tools, non-
working machines, etc. that we have--and for
some reason plastic bins are really expensive.
$30.00 Equipment has been stolen from BTV in the
past, and it will not happen again if we have
proper security measures. This is a small price
to pay for a lot of security.
$120.00 BTV meets almost exclusively on weekends,
when the SAO is not open for printing. Not just
often, but weekly we find ourselves in the
middle of a meeting needing everyone to see a
paper, but we end up having to huddle around a
small computer, unable to manually edit a
document. If assignments need to be posted up
on the board for workers, we need a printer. In
addition, we will soon need to establish our own
fax number to more effectively transfer
documents to businesses and departments.
This is a standard item for any professional
office to have.
$75.00 The BTV studio has not been cleaned in years.
It's trashy, quite literally, and creates an unsafe
environment for the equipment, and an
unprofessional environment for BTV Staff. It's
just hygeinic, it's just standard maintenance.
$405.00

Total Arguments
It's a blitz. We'll be doing a lot of tableslipping
and adverising for submissions and workers for
BTV throughout the semester- we'll also use this
avenue for the Election Day documentary.
100
Our X Factor in the publicity blitz is this 15 foot
tall King-Kong esque balloon to throw on the
100 main green advertising BTV's comeback.
BTV used to have "I Want My BTV" pins, pens,
and coasters. These are easy, inexpensive
things to throw around campus and get the
100 name of BTV back out.
Staff will be paying for their own t-shirts. These
t-shirts will be printed to support BTV's
300 comeback, and further publicize via clothes.
BTV is working off the image of a professional,
corporate organization, and as such we must
establish our credibility in the least through
professionally presented posters and 1 large
100 BTV multi-use banner.

Total Arguments
We have done our best so far to find allies in
Providence to give us discounts on throwing a
party. $500 is not a lot to throw a party, but
we're willing to work on this tight of a party
500 budget given circumstances.

Section I: Supplies

Peer Product Necessity Level
The next level up is the Canon XH-G1,
which is $7000. It doesn't have much
more than the XH-A1. The Sony HVR-
Z1U is the Sony edition of High
Definition cameras, and it's $4900. But
Sony does not work well with non-Sony
equipment, and we'd rather stay away
from it altogether. This is a very good
camera, but it is not what we need right
now for our purposes.

10
Protection plans are actually $600 each,
but we are confident we can barter with
the sales department to give us a better
deal, as we'd done before. So this is
asking, actually, for less than we need. 10

REG/Libec_LS22M_LS22M_Tripod_Syst
em.html: This tripod is about $500, but
it only holds 8.8 pounds. Our camera is 6
pounds. Cranes are about 4 pounds. If
we EVER want a crane, or need to
invest in one, it will not be possible with
the above crane. The tripod above does
not meet our minimum standards.

We really do need this much for each

particularly important they be current
