Video production

We have expertise in all fields related to video production and produce documentaries, commercials, and informational and educational films for both internal and external clients.

We help students and staff with large and small projects, either as consultants in the initial phase or as producers for the entire project.

The AV service has periods of high demand, so waiting time must be expected.

Before you start planning the content of a movie to be published on FilMet, remember:

• Use images that are rights cleared. Film about the use of images (film.oslomet.no, in Norwegian).
• If you have your own image material, you must have a declaration of consent from those depicted. Consent forms and guidelines for photos and video recordings (ansatt.oslomet.no).
• Plan short films. It is better with several short ones than one long.
• Contact the AV Services in good time if you need help with the recordings.
• Information about the publishing agreements (film.oslomet.no, in Norwegian). The purpose of the publishing agreements is to ensure the rights of those involved.

Streaming - live TV

We can assist you with streaming and/or recording of conferences and lectures. If you are streaming an event, you can reach more people than those who are present at the event itself. The program is produced live.

NB: Such productions are resource-demanding in terms of personnel and equipment, so please contact us at least 3 weeks before the event is to be held.

Sound production

We have a fully equipped multitrack sound studio based on Avid HDX and Pro Tools, where we do almost all post-production of our recordings and films. In the studio, we can perform everything from the reading of a simple speech to recording and multitrack mixing of orchestra or film.

Photography

We can assist with photography and also provide brief introductions to camera equipment and photo technique to both students and staff. We also offer introductory courses to photography, by agreement.

Borrow camera and AV equipment in Oria (oria.no).

Studio48

In Studio48, employees at OsloMet can make video recordings of interviews, presentations (with or without PowerPoint and the like), book launches, greetings, speeches, introductions, and so on. The studio is staffed with a technician and studio time must be reserved well in advance. If you choose to make the production openly available via FilMet, you will move up in the queue (film.oslomet.no).

It is important to be well prepared before recording. Therefore, for first-time recordings, a preparatory conversation is necessary well in advance of the recording.

TV studio P48

The TV studio is located in Pilestredet 48, 3rd floor. The studio is available by agreement to all students and staff at OsloMet. There are some restrictions on its use, as some of the available equipment requires special expertise. The room is used as a classroom for Media and Communication and will therefore be occupied during teaching and production periods.

Selfe studio

The Selfie studio in P48 (R306) is a small video studio for employees who want to record short and longer lectures for online publishing.

The room includes: a camera, microphone, TV monitor, and a control panel that makes it easy to use the equipment. All you need to bring is a laptop with your presentation and a memory stick to save your recordings. You can reserve time in the room on the list that hangs on the wall outside the studio.

If you are a first-time user, it's a good idea to ask the AV services for a short introduction on how to use the equipment.

Sound studio P48 

Frydenlyd is a recording/post-production studio for sound and sound design.

The studio offers departments and faculties at OsloMet and external contractors sound services such as audiobooks, multi-track recordings, sound mixing, video/film post-production, and mastering. The studio uses Pro Tools HDX and D-Command.

The studio is staffed with a technician and studio time must be reserved well in advance.

We assist in the acquisition of audiovisual equipment for faculties and departments.

If you can't find what you need in our loan service (oria.no), but wish to purchase your own camera/video camera or sound recording equipment for use in teaching or research, you can contact us for advice and purchasing.

We can also provide advice on the choice of programs for editing and post-processing of audio and video recordings.

Employees who wish to order equipment for meeting and teaching rooms must contact the Auditorium Assistance (ansatt.oslomet.no).
 

Do you need sound amplification in connection with an extraordinary lecture, cultural performances, singing, dancing, and music?

We offer the following sound services:

• Simple DJ/speech sound system, self-service. 
• Medium singing, speech, and DJ system (PA), self-service or AV assistance. 
• Larger PA production for bands, revue, lunch concerts, dependent on a technician. 

PA = speakers suitable for music and concert sound for a larger audience. Borrowing this equipment must always be agreed upon well in advance. For larger events or the need for a technician beyond normal working hours, agreements about overtime pay may be relevant.

NOTE: We have many assignments - therefore contact us at least 14 days before the event will be held.

FilMet is OsloMet's portal for video recordings of lectures, tutorials, conferences and other events (film.oslomet.no), for both students and employees. The films are sorted by faculty, institute, and keywords. Information about FilMet including publishing agreements (film.oslomet.no, in Norwegian).

Most films are openly available and downloadable, but are linked to a Creative Commons license (creativecommons.org) that has restrictions for use and sharing. The films can be downloaded and shared with others as long as OsloMet is named as the originator, but the films cannot be altered or used commercially.

If you have your own material that you believe is relevant to publish on FilMet, please contact us: medieseksjonen@oslomet.no.
 

OsloMetX (x.oslomet.no) is OsloMet's digital publishing house. It publishes and maintains digital learning materials, either as comprehensive textbooks within various subject areas, or less extensive courses that cover whole or parts of subjects. All courses are specially adapted for the web. Information about OsloMetX.

The AV Services offer guidance and advise concerning use of AV equipment (sound/video/camera/phone) while working from home or at campus. 

Not everything can be fixed remotely, of course, but more than one might think. We have a lot of experience in helping employees with their equipment. If you are having problems with your AV equipment, please contact us.
