TV Production is a confusing array of lighting, audio, video, cameras and editing.  Shooting amateur content with a video camera is easy, but full pledged TV production goes a long way beyond that. Major TV networks like CNN use skilled technicians to live edit the shows in real time, sync audio, and broadcast it live to the world using satellites.

Their TV production work appears to cable and satellite subscribers, who only see the final result. The amount of work that goes into proper and quality TV programming is tremendous, featuring hours of prep and final editing part of the overall TV production.

TV episodes get special attention in the CG lab, where they insert additional titles, and real time 3D scene effects to the footage, this is all done in the TV production room where the video editors sync audio, cut scenes and create new sequences. The schools offering TV production are quite expensive, as the Television industry is very lucrative offering some great job opportunities to those interested in the technology.
