Media Center on BlipTV
|
For 7 days during the spring semester 2007, we set up a camera microphone, lights and background, ala Errol Morris, and asked people coming in to the media center to answer a few questions. We accumulated over 4 hours of footage. Here’s a condensed 6 minutes or so. The media center at Swem is officially cool.
24 Speed has officially been launched for its third year and is accepting registrations. The contest begins on February 22, where teams of filmmakers will be asked to conceive, shoot, edit and prepare for public screening a short film.
This semester we’re pleased to have Paul Harrill, self-reliant filmmaker extraordinaire, to judge the films and hang out with us.
To enter, you must register by February 16. For more information and to see the archives from the first two years, visit the 24 Speed web site.
We’ve increased our inventory of video cameras starting this semester. These Panasonic 3 CCD cameras use MiniDV tapes and come in a sturdy case with extra batteries and cables.
These cameras, like all our loanable gear, can be reserved and checked out for up to 3 days at a time. In order to check it out, you’ll need to attend a brief certification class and sign a loan agreement. ( a relatively small bureacracy to payoff ratio).
