All classes include written tests and hands-on exercises and are designed to certify residents and representatives of non-profit organizations in Ann Arbor in the use of CTN equipment, solely for the production of programming for the A2TV Public Access Channel 17.
Edit
Learn how to operate digital editing and graphic equipment. This is a great start for someone who already has footage shot with his/her own camcorder or who intends to take the Remote Workshop later. CTN offers two Edit Classes. iMovie Edit is designed for the novice, while Final Cut Pro X requires that you have experience in advance editing techniques.
Remote
Learn how to operate a camcorder and related equipment allowing you to shoot on location. CTN currently has two different remote equipment tracks. The GL2 Remote Class is for anyone who wants to learn how to use a camcorder. The JVC Remote Class requires you to be previously certified in Final Cut Pro X Editing through CTN.
Studio (includes Control Room)
Learn lighting and set design, camera composition, audio set-up and studio camera operation. Learn how to direct, create computer graphics, mix audio, operate a switcher and other technical aspects of producing a studio shoot.
Hotline Studio
Learn how to operate the cameras from a remote desk while you host the show as well. (1-person operation.) Great way to get a studio-look to your program, without having to book a crew.
Video On Demand
Learn how to distribute your programs online via CTN's Miro Community. We'll teach you how to upload your programs to a host site and then link them to the CTN Miro Community as well. If you already upload programming, this session will show you how to connect to the Miro site. It's another great way to get your programming seen by more people!
