The University of Texas-Pan American
 
Technology Services

The Technology Services Video Production unit provides video production services to university departments. The types of videos produced ranges from informational programming focusing on student events on campus, to 30-second broadcast TV commercials which communicate a message to the student population and/or promotes upcoming university events.

The award winning team of video production experts on staff can provide the skills to conceptualize, write, shoot, edit and distribute a dynamic video presentation. While our primary goal is providing support to faculty who utilize digital video media to augment their curriculum, we also produce programming for departments wishing to promote their activities and increase visibility of their services to the University community. Examples of the types of services we provide includes producing short testimonial videos which can be integrated into a web page; videotaping live events such as distinguished speaker presentations; workshops and graduation ceremonies and recording student performances on campus. Finished video projects can be distributed to the customer in a variety of formats including DVD, CD, Blu-Ray or encoded in a format for uploading it to a university web page. Most videotaping of major events on campus are also streamed live to the www.utpa.edu/live website.

If interested in these services, please follow the procedures for requesting video production services. There is a fee for materials and labor billable through departmental accounts via IDT’s. For price listing see our rate sheet.
