How to join Sem Pro?
Seminole Productions is a unique mix of technically skilled and experienced professionals and students. Each year Seminole Productions employs a small number of students. These students are those who have gained enough skills and experience to qualify for part-time employment. Most students begin as a student or volunteer. Some of the best students begin in their freshmen year which allows them to develop their skills over several years. For students Seminole Productions is a great place to try different technical roles and eventually specialize in a specific area. Seminole Productions has opportunities for both behind the camera and in front of the camera. For students who aspire to be talent or on-camera, there are opportunities to audition for in-game host roles which are part of Sports Venue Entertainment.
There are three ways for students to become involved at Seminole Productions. Students can take RTV 3543 Multi-Camera Production, RTV 3680 Video Workshop, or Volunteer. Volunteers must be enrolled as a student at Florida State University.
