Your regular guide to what those busy bees over at XTV have been doing, and how you can get involved in future projects.
News
In case you hadn’t heard, this year XTV hosted the National Student Television Awards (or NaSTas), which is kind of a big deal.
As well as putting on an amazing night, which you can watch back here, XTV were Highly Commended in several categories, including Best On-Screen Female and Best Ident.
The nomination videos will be released over the next few weeks, starting with Best Ident and Best Broadcaster, which you can watch below.
In other news:
This week XTV have been filming the NUS Student Eats event for Exeter Community Garden, the footage from which should be released soon.
And finally, a new episode of Square One will shortly be in production, hosted by Will Kelleher.
The show takes a funny and informative look at some of the less championed sports groups at Exeter, with the new episode focusing on Trampolining. You can watch episode one below.
Opportunities
Afterlife – Crew
An exciting project is taking shape in the form of Afterlife, a 70 minute film described as a “dramatic romcom with a few somewhat supernatural twists”.
Casting is complete, but crew are always required, especially camera and sound operators. You needn’t have any experience however, and this would be a great way to gain some.
Filming will take place at the following times:
Tuesday 28th May, 10.00-11.30 and 4.00-10.30
Thursday 30th May, 4.00-10.30
Friday 31st May, 11.00-6.00
Tuesday 4th June, 10.00-1.00
Thursday 6th June, 10.00-6.00
Friday 7th June, 2.00-9.30
If you’d like to get involved, email Tom Bond at tfb204@exeter.ac.uk for more details.
Proof – Crew, Non-Speaking Extras
Proof is XTV’s NaSTA-nominated comedy about the world of student media. Filming of the last episode is happening next weekend, the 1st and 2nd of June, but you don’t need to have been previously involved to take part.
12 non-speaking extras are required, as well as other crew members, though a bit of experience is most likely preferable for technical roles.

The Secret Lives of Lecturers – Editors, Crew
A 35-minute comedy to be screened at Arts on the Move Festival, June 9th. Most of the filming is now complete, though a few more scenes are being shot this Wednesday 29th May, from 12-3pm, and at further times (TBC).
However, most especially needed are those with editing skills – any help with this would be appreciated.
