Parade of Lights

This is footage of the 2008 Parade of Lights in Lincoln.

2008 NESCom Trip

I think this field trip may be cursed because the weather is always bad when we go. This year though it cleared up enough to make the trip. The students had a great time touring the New England School of Communications in Bangor. They got to see the TV Studio Control room, the TV Studio, Mobile TV Unit, Recording Studios, and Radio Station. NESCom offers students a variety of Communications degrees in TV Production, Radio Broadcasting, Audio Engineering, Digital Media, Web Communication, and Journalism. It was a good exposure to what the school has to offer potential students and how they can help them enter the Communications field.

RADIO

Here's a presentation students had to complete about the Radio Industry. Each group of students had a chapter to read on the subject and had to create a video summarizing that reading section.

Spooky Snack

Our first children's show of the year ran all Halloween weekend on Access 5. The show featured a puppet show and also included commercials for Region III programs, animations, a storybook segment, and a culinary segment which is posted here.

Fall Animations

Here are some animations done with legos and some that are drawn animations. These are going to be included in our children's Halloween Show.

New Class, New Year

We're already in the thick of Fall!! This summer flew by!

The students have been learning mostly introductory concepts. We started the year talking about digital photography and photographic composition. Students took photos according to the "Rule of Thirds" principle. Here's an example:


Students also got their feet wet using Adobe Photoshop. They created magazine covers and advertisements using the software.

Currently students are working with the video editing program Final Cut Studio. They've completed a Storybook project and are finishing up animations for our Halloween Children's Show. Those will be posted soon!

Here is a finished storybook project:
