Resolutions and New Beginnings

 

Let’s learn something new in 2016! We have a variety of workshops schedule from January - March and we’re so excited about them! First we’ll start with the basics of Mac computers before moving on to Fundamentals of Video, Basic Camera, and Basic Editing including iMovie, Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro. Video wizard and NCTV board member, Jordan Tynes, will also take on a couple of sessions and will teach Advanced Editing workshops with both Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere. Don’t worry, we’ll have the basic version of each class the week before so you can get caught up. Don’t forget about our Studio Production, File Management, and a brand new DSLR Basics session! Check out the sidebar to the right for dates and times or head on over to our website for full descriptions and to sign up! We require members to sign up for workshops so our staff and volunteer teachers can prepare accordingly.

Programming Shenanigans

with Andrew Barker

I can’t believe it, but Hanukkah has already come and gone and Christmas is just over a week away! I hope everybody out there is enjoying the holiday season thus far.
 
Well, this is the Programming Shenanigans portion of the newsletter so that means I must tell you about the special programs that will be making their way onto the public channel. We have plenty of holiday themed programs that will be seen in the near future. Keep in mind that we are your local community access station so we won’t have the huge Christmas movies like “Elf” or “A Christmas Story,” but we can provide you with some older classics, such as “The Monkees’ Christmas Show.” Yes, that’s right, an old Christmas episode of the legendary “The Monkees” television series.In addition to public domain programs, we also have some great 

 
In conclusion, I must mention our special movie showings on the public channel. Starting December 20 and through Christmas Day we will be airing some great classic movies at 9:00pm. It should be a good time and because it’s on NCTV, that means no commercials! I will go into greater detail on this in this week’s NCTV Inside blog!
 
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
