The Rowan University‘s Student Government Association held a Meet The Candidates even for its 2010 election, and as a service to the community, RTN shot the event and streamed it live via the Internet.

Meet the Candidates was RTN’s second live streamed event, following the highly successful Rowan Relief Telethon.

RTN performed its first live web stream, covering the third annual telethon, raising money for wheelchairs for Haiti, following the devastating earthquake.

Monroe Memorial

This past Friday, RTN covered the Craig Monroe Memorial in the Enyon Ball Room. Craig Monroe was the dean of Communications at Rowan University, and had a long history with a great many collegues across the country. In recognition of that, in partnership with the Rowan University IT department, the memorial service was streamed live.
I was in charge of operating the Tricaster, acting as director, technical director, VTR operator, audio operator, and to an extent, producer. What’s embedded here is the version we streamed live. We also had a third cameraman moving about with an HVX-200A armed with P2 cards to shoot additional footage, which we intend to edit together for any DVD requests we might have.
