Another edition of Open Day Estúdio took place today – a day dedicated to demonstrating the possibilities of this structure to potential users.
Throughout the day, the FCCN Unit Studio welcomed around 40 visitors who learned more about its various resources and equipment. "The goal was to demonstrate the Studio to potential users," explains the facility's coordinator, Cláudio Silva, adding that the day is also aimed at "regular users who can learn about new features they hadn't previously known about."
The 2019 edition of this event featured a demonstration of an outdoor vehicle, courtesy of Avantools. An outdoor vehicle allows you to capture images simultaneously when covering events or happenings outside of a fixed studio.
Held since 2012, this Open Day It's aimed at professionals in content production (such as e-learning or audiovisual communication) from various higher education institutions. For Cláudio Silva, this was truly "the best Open Day ever," considering the demand and interest from attendees.
The value of preparation
The studio tour was conducted area by area, with the assistance of Inês Casquilho-Martins, from ISCTE-IUL's Online Learning platform. The invitation was extended to "demonstrate the practical uses of the ISCTE-IUL studio," she explains, "particularly with regard to the preparation and planning of content and supporting materials."
Inês Casquilho-Martins shared some specific advice, such as the importance of preparing the teleprompter, the images to use, and even the clothes to wear. Investing in preparation, she emphasizes, "ultimately pays off, as the work flows more efficiently and the end result itself will be better."
Regarding the opportunities offered by the FCCN Unit Studio to the educational and research community, Inês Casquilho-Martins considers it "a professional, practical, rigorous, and useful service for professional and academic activities," given the technological and human resources support it provides. "The Studio has had a very positive impact on the training of ISCTE-IUL students and staff," she emphasizes.
For one of the Open Day visitors, Tiago Carvalho, from the audiovisual department of the Department of Informatics at the University of Lisbon Rector's Office, this was a way to "learn about new equipment and opportunities that may arise in the future." At the end of the visit, he revealed that he had discovered "interesting possibilities," particularly related to equipment based on 4K technology. "[Here] there is the possibility of creating virtual courses with more sophisticated equipment," he concluded.
