My Project

Our school news team has been shooting news footage on a 2nd Gen iPad. The results have been solid so far, but we need to be the best.

Outdated equipment is holding our news team back!

A Canon XA11 will bring pro quality video to our news broadcasts. Our students and the news deserve equipment that can bring the news to our school community in the most professional manner possible.

Our future anchors, camera teams, on site reporters, discussion panels and investigative journalists will be able to bring the news to life in 4k video. We want to present the school news in the 4k glory it deserves.
