Digiquest 2009 Final Screening!

Our Digiquest 2009 Summer Camp has come to a close. We went out with a bang, holding a final Screening & Awards Ceremony this past Sunday. The camps offered this summer were Movie Editing, Movie Production and TV Studio Production. Highlights from each camp were screened and each camper received an award honoring their talents and contributions to the camp. Thanks to our amazing instructors, Ana Simoes and Mark Wright, and our powerhouse interns for making it all happen! Keep an eye out for Digiquest 2010!

Palo Alto Story Project Launched by the Palo Alto Weekly

The Palo Alto Weekly launched the PALO ALTO STORY PROJECT this past weekend. They videotaped clips of locals telling their favorite Palo Alto story. The taping of these 1-3 minute informal videos took place at the Palo Alto Weekly's booth at the Palo Alto Arts Festival both Saturday and Sunday.

I, of course, had to tell a story and then get the inside scoop from the Weekly staff who were manning the booth. The Story Project videos will be posted over a several month period on Palo Alto Online.

You can check out Lisa Van Dusen telling her Palo Alto story.

For more information, contact Palo Alto Weekly Editorial Assistant Karla Kane at kkane@paweekly.com.

This is a great idea! I wish I had thought of it.

Blog Site about Community Media 2.0 with Audio Interview Clips

The Media Center’s founding (and former) Executive Director, Elliot Margolies, has been interviewing leaders in community media to explore our history and what makes for a relevant media center in today’s Internet 2.0 cyberscape. The interviews are divided into numerous subclips so you can easily swoop in and listen to what you’re looking for. Elliot recommends the interview with Laurie Cirivello for anyone curious about another vanguard media center (Grand Rapids, MI) and the range of contemporary services that can be offered. There are also interviews with George Stoney and Sue Buske two of the first practitioners/developers of public access TV.
