Media Club for Middle School Students at SCATV
Somerville Community Access Television is starting a 10-session Next Generation Producers afterschool media club for Somerville middle school students. The club will meet on Wednesdays, beginning on January 11, from 3:30 to 5:30 at 90 Union Square. The students will work with two professional video producers to create TV shows in a three-camera TV studio, storytelling, and stop-motion animation. The students get hands-on training in all aspects of production, and their finished projects will be shown on SCATV Channel 3, and posted on-line.
The head instructor, Gordon Nelson, has been teaching video production to youth since 2003. He has also taught filmmaking to college students at Carnegie-Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Mass College of Art. His films have been screened across the U.S. and internationally.
