The Tools To Make Magic

Editing

There may be no better way to get a feel for production than to gather an understanding of editing. Using nonlinear computer editing systems in the Adobe suite, such as Premiere Pro and After Effects, as well as complementary applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, you can make truly amazing things. We can teach you to use these remarkable tools and start thinking beyond the selfie.

Field Production

Taking the camera outside the studio, setting up your shots, thinking about lighting, weather, timing, audio, focal length, frame rate — in short, all the languages of cinema. This is where creativity shines, and there is no better place to get your start than by training at your local public media center. Start making content today!

Studio Production

This is where live production lives. It’s also where green screen tech lives. And interview shows. Stop-motion. Music recording and sound engineering. And so much more. The best place to start if you’re just curious about production but not exactly sure where your interests lie, the booth is a great place to begin learning and help produce one of our shows. Producers are always looking for help from local crew, so jump on in!

Development

Pulling off a great production is all about the details. Planning, having backups to your backups, nailing down your vision and making sure you’ve thought through all the logistics — these are the things that make final products exceed expectations. If you have an idea, no matter how formed, we’ll help you give it shape, and figure out what you need to do to bring it to life.
