Siskiyou Media Council Looking to Staff Tech Projects
December 16, 2009
SMC Executive Director, Audra Gibson, announces opportunities for community members to join the growing team of technical staff needed for upcoming projects beginning in the Spring of 2010. “We are looking to interview people with video production expertise; producers, editors, audio, lighting, script writing, on camera presence, and voice over or speech talents. There are a number of ways that residents can learn and practice these skills and work their way towards our professional staff which compensates for such skills.” COS offers a semester long Community Television class (register now for Spring Semester), MCTV 15 has weekly “Public Access Production Day” on Wednesday each week where registered producers can book the production facility for use; community volunteers are welcome to come and get 'hands on training' during these productions, and SMC together with the COS Media Department are exploring training programs or workshops designed to bring skill levels up to speed for the upcoming professional projects. For more information on how you can get involved and learn new skills pertaining to media production, call Audra Gibson at 938-5910, or email info[at]mctv15.org.
