One hundred gifted fifth-graders took turns reading sports play-by-play in front of the camera and helping operate industry-standard digital video, audio and graphics controls Tuesday morning at Georgia Southern University’s Paulson Stadium. The students, from the QUEST program in the Bulloch County Board of Education’s nine elementary schools, were welcomed by the staff of the university’s Multimedia Development Center. The MDC, led by professionals but employing many Georgia Southern students, produces the in-stadium video of Eagles football games and works with ESPN3 on coverage of other sports.
