TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 With most students away for the summer, delegates of this year’s American Legion Boys State<\/a> explored TROY’s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday morning, some Boys State participants toured TROY TrojanVision News’ studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is really cool to be in a newsroom and see all the different sets that are all right next to each other, which I never really thought about,” said delegate Tristan McDonald. “The production studio was also really cool.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group learned what happens behind the scenes of a typical newscast and how to work the equipment used during a show. One piece of equipment group members got to try stood out more than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really liked the green screen,” McDonald told TrojanVision. “I knew about the monitors and that it was a green screen but I didn’t realize how tough the hand-eye coordination is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve learned that I actually really like green screens in the weather,” said delegate Justin Reinhardt. “I love it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some group members didn’t initially plan to attend the TrojanVision interest group, they said they didn’t regret coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is kind of a second option but I definitely don’t regret picking this because I’ve been interested in news media for a while now,” said delegate Xavier Henderson. “This is kind of like a thing that I’m definitely interested in so I’m glad I chose it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To be honest I got lost in the house and I wandered down here,” Reinhardt said. “I actually ended up really liking it. I’m enjoying the time with my new friends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the tour allowed group members to see where they could fit in in a news studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I learned how to use stuff like the cameras,” Henderson explained. “I learned how to use a teleprompter, how production works. It’s a lot harder than expected but I definitely do enjoy that as well so I may consider that as a job in my future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this group toured TrojanVision, other Boys State delegates participated in similar interest group meetings such as Fire College, Air & Space Academy, and business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
