Pre Historic 2003-2010
Prologue
Before AirTV came onto the scene Videoworks operated as Stirling Universities' videography society. This society provided students with equipment to make their films, however what it didn't provide was a platform for student's to share their work or a community for fellow filmmakers to inhabit.
AirTV is...
In 2001 students began planning the creation of AirTV, a filmmaking society that aimed to build upon videoworks by providing students not only with equipment but also a platform and a community. However due to studio copyright laws and an 'ineffectual' committee things would take longer than expected...
Let there be light
However on the 12th of November 2003 AirTV finally went live. Led by their first station manager, Vito Milazzo, the society promised a bright future for members and soon set up script meetings where members could plan their own films. Featured here is a speech Vito wrote for AirTV's 18th Birthday, a bright future indeed!
Just film it
In the years that followed AirTV would produce weekly content like Freshers coverage and our own weekly drama show 'Halls'. During this period we also covered red carpet events where we met celebrities like Jimmy Carr who were delighted to see us! In all it was the start of a society that is truly special. Many alumni from this period like Graham Hughes and Fionn Watts have even gone on to achieve the dream of directing their own feature films! So go on, Just Film It!
Highlights
Unfortunately most of the videos made during this period were stored on tape and cannot be accessed. However below is a small selection of available videos that showcase the time, innovation and people of our very own stone age!
