SUMMER Video Production Club
Let your imagination be heard!
In this hands-on Video Production Club, participants learn the fundamentals of professional video production while experiencing every role on set — from sitting in the director’s chair and operating state-of-the-art switchers to framing shots as a camera operator and stepping in front of the camera as on-air talent. They’ll even create some green screen magic along the way.
Both new and returning participants will have fun developing their skills in a collaborative, creative environment. Returning members will jump right into production while building advanced techniques, with a special focus on external audio equipment and higher-level production workflows. New participants will learn the foundations — including scriptwriting, capturing dynamic shots with professional equipment, and editing their final projects from start to finish.
