Digital TV Seminar and Workshop Opportunity - July 2006

Interested in becoming a television or film production professional?  Want to take a course taught by experienced industry pros for FREE?

The Upper Catskill Television Network, a not-for-profit organization, based in Oneonta, New York, will be conducting a series of Digital Film/TV production seminars and workshops in July. These two-day seminars, overseen by experienced industry professionals, will be followed by selected mini-production workshops. Two or more workshop projects will eventually be shot on HD video using production crews from the seminar courses. All courses will be provided free to the selected candidates.

Courses will include the following:

Experienced and entry-level candidates will be screened and considered for this no fee opportunity.  Each area of study will involve both theoretical and practical information, with an emphasis on production application. Candidates in each category will benefit from a “hands on” intensive one-on-one learning environment.

Creative and technical aspects of television and film production will be examined and utilized in each of the workshop productions. These workshops will mirror actual production working environments and will provide a level of experience difficult to obtain outside of the industry.
