London contains over one thousand members of the RTS
– who are working in or are associated with the world of Television.
dedicated to supporting the educational aims of the RTS
RTS London has decided to provide RTS members some more focused opportunities to find out more about what is happening and what may happen in this thriving sector.
The RTS is the only organisation which covers all aspects of Television and many members and others appreciate the opportunities that the RTS gives to find out about other part of the television production process – and awareness which enhances the making of Television – programmes, technology, system and law and public policy.
If you want to join the RTS apply here or as student member for £10 a year
In October - almost 40 members visited to BSKY B energy efficient production facility Sky Studios
The vist which showed the whole of the production chain – the studios on the ground floor, post work in the middle to play out transmission at the top, started with a demonstration of S3D and ended with a drink and a chance to talk and ask more questions about this marvelous new working environment.
RTS London thanks Troy Smith and Chris Johns and their teams for an amazing evening.
November brought the 75th anniversary of the launch of the world's first High Definition TV service
Over 20 members looked at the HD studios of BBC Studio and Post Production at Television Centre - a tour of three studios, hands on a S3D Rig and lots of questions and discussion on systems, production techniques and future of studio productions.
