Dear Diary,
This week has been a good one, met the team which I will be working with over the next 12 months. A selection of experienced professionals from the world of broadcast and TV. My line manager is Alex Byrd, IT manager and multi-media developer at SilverstreamTV with experience throughout the media industry.
SilverstreamTV as a company, works on web video both live and recorded supplying intricate video delivery systems for the world wide web. Filming at many events such as 'World Skills UK', 'Home Building and Renovating Show', 'National Home Improvement Show', ' Buisnes Travel Show', 'Shetland round Britain and Ireland Race', 'Subcon 2010' and 'Dorset County Show.
With a lot more people wanting their events recorded and/or streamed live SilverstreamTV have the technology and the know how to deliver. A thriving and dynamic team made up of multi skilled members has allowed the company to grow with the industry.
This placement is the perfect opportunity for me to develop in a variety of skill areas and see how the industry works from the inside. From recording to production to the coded fabric which holds the back-end together.
My main role is a developer, working on the facilities which will make uploading the content easier.
First task is to create a thumbnail creator, This will be created primarily in flash. The idea is that to prevent the need for the video producers to have to copy a section of video resize and upload individually. Once there video is uploaded, it will play through the player, the user can stop at a point and press a button. The thumbnail and larger image will be created and saved in a database ready to be implemented in the player.
The program is currently using flash and php and will eventually implement the use of databases.
