Taskmaster University
MULTI-CAMERA PRODUCTION
April 2024
Taskmaster University (TMU) is a live-to-tape gameshow where a group of RTA Media Production students at TMU compete in ridiculous tasks to gain the favour of the elusive Taskmaster.
The objective was to recreate the iconic British game show Taskmaster in an RTA-focused way that appeals to fans of the original series as well as young people who like watching other young people complete ludicrous assignments. Like the original show, Taskmaster University consists of both pre-produced segments and live challenges.

Sample Challenge: Silent Films
In this challenge, contestants are asked to create a 1-minute silent film starring themselves and the pride of RTA -- the bust of Julius Fleischmann. The following preview of this challenge shows the creative process of our contestants, which resulted in some hilariously dramatic and emotional films.
