[Community] Production Update - May 2009 Steering

[Stephen Fonzo]

In the past month, the Production group has continued training sessions of
producing audio for radio; video editing; and general a/v use.

We have plenty of projects that people can work on - interesting video and
audio recorded locally in the past year that has not yet been edited or
viewed/heard on TV, radio, or the Web.

The Production group will share a Champaign Consortium summer youth employee
with WRFU.  The individual in this role will help produce audio content for
WRFU, help train members, and help archive and organize the IMC's existing
audio collection.

Finally, I am completing my term as Media Training Advisor with the IMC in
mid-July.  The Production group has grown considerably and has been great to
work with.  The IMC has a valuable resource by maintaining an actively used
Production Room suitable for training, learning, creation, and editing - and
interfacing with other IMC working groups and their media needs.  There is
still room for progress, and the IMC is currently in the final steps of
selecting the new Media Training Advisor, who will continue to work closely
in all aspects of media training at the IMC.

For the Production group to manage on behalf of the IMC, I am compiling a
list of media skills and questions that IMC members are interested in
learning, to help in drafting a master list and sourcebook in the future.
Please respond to the group at production at ucimc.org with your questions and
interests (also, let us know your existing tech/media skills).

The group is still seeking donations and extra sources of funding to improve
the IMC's production facilities and workstations.
