Viking Video Technologies was hired again to provide a Livestream of the University at Albany Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony. A few weeks prior to the event, NBC Universal had contacted the University at Albany about the possibility of including their proceedings in NBC Nightly News’ annual commencement round-up.
VVT worked with UA to come up with a broadcast-ready recording of the ceremony that could be handed off as soon as the ceremony had concluded. This footage was then edited down by the UA staff and sent to NBC. On May 29, NBC Nightly News broadcast its annual commencement round-up. NBC received footage from numerous colleges and universities and traveled to others in order to gather its own footage. The resulting 4:20 clip highlighted graduation ceremonies from around the country.
At the end of the clip (literally the very end) there is a clip shot by VVT staff on VVT equipment that closes out the segment. There is another clip on the NBC website that did not air that has more footage from the UA ceremony. You can see both clips at: http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/our-favorite-moments-salute-college-graduates-n117736.
VVT is very proud of its relationship with the University at Albany and is pleased that they were able to give the University some national attention.
