BBF Television

BBF TV is the name used by BigBlueFox for the production of videos and short clips.

BBF TV came into existence back in 2002, but went active only one year later with a few test clips. The first real release was the convention highlights video from Further Confusion 2004. BBF TV produces the official DVDs and video promotion for Eurofurence as well as highlight videos for many furry conventions such as Anthrocon, Further Confusion, and MMC. Additionally, BBF TV is responsible for running the TV channel EF Prime at Eurofurence, which broadcasts 24 hours of information and entertainment during the convention days.

Team

BigBlueFox is responsible for most of BBF TV, but there is also a team that helps during larger-scaled productions (for example, Eurofurence):

• Athesis (Camera, Software 'EF Prime')
• Blacklion (Camera)
• Cleanerwolf (Camera)
• Kyron (Camera)
• o'wolf (Camera)
• Tillikum (Camera, Live Edit, Live Streaming)
• Tsanawo (Camera, Live Edit)
• lizard ('Webspace')

Technology

In response to the growing market share of widescreen displays, BBF TV announced widescreen as new standard format for the videos back in 2005. With the release of "Return To Delft" in Summer 2008, BBF TV switched production to High Definition, abandoning SD-only productions for the most part. A few projects, such as the live video edit produced at Eurofurence, however, will continue to be released in SD, since a complete switch to HD in this section is not yet affordable.

BBF Live

In Winter 2008, the channel "BBF Live" was launched. This station sporadically broadcasts events live on the internet, such as the Cologne Furdance events, or the Eurofurence registration opening. The next broadcast has been scheduled for November 2011 (Cologne Furdance, Edition 08).

Regular (weekly or monthly) broadcasts are not planned.

Trivia

• The first videoclip that was published using the name "BBF TV" was a video mashup between the animated TV series Foxbusters by Cosgrove Hall and the Babysitterboogie by German pop star Ralf Bendix. This clip recently gained more popularity as it was discovered and repeatedly aired by the Funday Pawpet Show.
• For the shooting at Eurofurence 10, a camera boom (Binford 6100) was build. Construction lead was Jaryic.
• BBF TV has an extensive archive of footage from fandom celebrities in the most embarrassing situations.
