Filming Cowes Week
Friday 29 July 2011
For the third Year in a row, Southampton Solent University’s media production centre, will once again be providing live coverage of the world famous regatta, Cowes Week.
From 4-13 August a team of 15 Solent University staff and students will provide television production and broadcast support to one of the most high profile events in the yachting calendar.
This invaluable hands on work experience gives students the chance to work as professional suppliers of sports programming alongside industry experts and Solent graduates.
Solent Productions, the University's dedicated media production centre, is providing the students with its high spec equipment to film the week's action, which will be used to provide instant and comprehensive footage of the race starts and finishes for Event TV and the 40 screens dotted around Cowes, during the event.
Jonathan Plummer, the head of Solent Productions says: “We are very pleased to be involved with Cowes Week again this year. The University’s strengths in media and maritime education make us a natural choice for providing live coverage of one of the most famous sailing regattas in the world."
