CHS-TV has earned state honors for the 17th consecutive year. The Carthage High School organization was notified by e-mail Tuesday, April 19 that it was awarded First Place in the Texas Association of Educational Technology Media Fair. The students competed in the Digital Video (Grades 9-12) category. Titled "Automatic," the short video uses digital stop-motion animation, utilizing a technique not tried before at CHS-TV. Physical items were moved by hand, inch by inch, and individual frames were edited together to create the illusion of movement. This technique, in photographic film production, was first discovered a century ago, but using digital video to create the effects proved challenging and exciting for the students. Senior students involved from the advanced broadcast journalism classes were Chris Caldwell, Joshua Franks, Skyler Harris, Nathan Lenox, Courtney Ross and Eric Seguin. Juniors were Christina Beechum, Ashley Dyson, Adam Johnson, Jade Lewis, Tomeka Williams and Whitney Williamson. These students will be recognized at the annual Carthage High School Awards Assembly, and the video will be broadcast on an upcoming edition of "Carthage Schools Present." "Automatic" resembles a live-action "animated cartoon" of sorts. It depicts a group of "lazy students" and their "lazy teacher" (instructor Donnie Pitchford playing that part) who must prepare the cluttered CHS-TV studio for business. After the teacher leaves the students to do all the work, two of them locate a mysterious red button labeled "Automatic Setup," and decide to push it. Instantly, it's "lights, cameras, action" as studio equipment begins to seemingly move on its own power, rolling, twirling, and sliding into place. All this action is accompanied by cartoon-like music. The end result is a perfectly prepared TV studio, to the amazement of the teacher. Overall, the project was fun to produce, and helped the students learn some new skills.
