Channel 7 personality, Larry Emdur, used the film and TV facilities at the Northern Sydney Institute to shoot the pilot episode of his late night talk show last Friday.
“Larry on Late” was shot in Studio A at the St Leonards Campus and included guests; Guy Sebastian, Samantha Armytage and Manon Youdale.
Behind the scenes, many of the crew were hand-picked by Larry himself, but also included students enrolled in Diploma of Screen and Media and Certificate IV in Screen and Media at the Northern Sydney Institute.
"To have our students take part in such a production with industry professionals is invaluable experience for them,” said Derek Pola, Faculty Director, Information Technology, Media and Business.
“Our studio facilities at St Leonards Campus are excellent and having productions here such as Larry on Late, Power Games and Rake gives our students an insight into the business which really enhances their career prospects,” he said.
Recording a tonight show was on Larry Emdur’s bucket list to achieve before his 50th birthday which is in December. He decided to fulfil this dream by writing, researching and hosting “Larry on Late” himself and producing it through his own company, Emdur Productions.
Channel 7 have agreed to look at the pilot once it is completed.
