Fully Prepared for a Career
"The COMM 360 Digital Sports Production course was vital in preparing me for my career in live sports production. It takes a lot of work to put a show together, preparation that most fans can't fully understand, and this course taught me how to multi-task in that live production environment. The completion of every live production leaves me feeling accomplished and eager to start the next event."
David Gallagher '18, Director of Creative Services, Altoona Curve
In partnership with IUP Athletics, IUP-TV Sports and COMM 360 Digital Sports Production offer opportunities for students to be engaged in the live production of IUP sporting events.
The five-camera live productions include slow motion replay and live play-by-play with student announcers. Students work in every role of the production process; director, camera operators, graphics, audio, and on-air.
Production starts in the fall with IUP football and continues through the spring semester with men's and women's basketball.
Students who want academic credit can take COMM 360 Digital Sports Productions twice, to gain experience with football and basketball production.
Learn Away From the Classroom
During semester breaks, students can continue working with sports production through the Center for Media Production and Research, which provides live production of men's and women's basketball during times when classes are not in session. The CMPR also works with IUP Athletics to provide coverage of IUP women's volleyball.
The IUP-TV productions can be watched live or through the video archives available on the Crimson Hawks webcast.
