Full Service

Full service means full support from beginning to end. In most cases this will mean A/V setup and equipment, Filming, and Post Production (editing and streaming/delivery of the final media product).

The media team has limited capacity for full service requirements.

Priority of acceptance of full service requests:

  • Capture and production of digital learning resources that will be used multiple times in a course(s) within the Faculty of Education.

  • Media that does not fall into the category of Educational Re-Use / for use in the classroom is considered billable (fee for service).

Full service examples (no fee):

  • Lecture capture of your class.

  • Live streaming of your class to remote students.

  • Video Recording training videos to support students in the classroom.

  • Two change requests to the final media are included. A fee for service will occur if you need further changes to the Final Production.

Full service examples (fee for service)

  • Capturing catered events of media for use outside the classroom.

  • Equipment or recording needs for non-classroom events.

  • Requests from clients outside of the Faculty of Education.

If your need is related to research, please contact us directly to discuss approach.

Full service media includes:

We provide professional grade cameras, lighting, and audio equipment along with a trained technician who will set up and run the equipment. We will supply you with release forms.
