r ~ the linear edit suite for maximum flexibility. Turns out most producers are still editing the old fashioned way. This isn't surprising, as non-linear editing lends itself better to certain types of projects, like documentaries or magazine style programs. It is also very useful for promos and intros. Non-linear editing also entails a new way of thinking. As producers warm up to the process, the new suite will be very popular. In the mean time, because the DV technology is very close to the DVCPro quality that staff uses, staff will undoubtedly be using the new equipment as well. The nice thing is that the edit suite was relatively inexpensive to build. It will be very easy and economical to expand our capabilities when expanded usage demands it. Annual Volunteer Award Ceremony As you probably know, we have a lot of folks both producing their own programs and helping staff to produce programs utilizing the production truck. Both methods require a lot of work, knowledge and time. We are very respectful of and grateful to those folks who participate in community programming and we think it's important to recognize them for all of their efforts. We do so ata Volunteer Award Ceremony that we hold every April. In 2003 the ceremony took place at the Majestic Oaks Golf Course. Close to 100 volunteers and producers showed up for hors d' oeuvres, conversation, trophies, channel 15 clothing and to be recognized and appreciated for their efforts. Eleven trophies were presented to some very deserving individuals. The event was also videotaped and played back on channel 15 . New Blood Vohmteers at the award ceremony Every community programming facility has its group of core producers... the people who stick with video production year after year. Most often they represent an organization such as a church, and produce programming reflective of that organization. It's very difficult to locate, train, and retain new producers. Video production can be a frustrating, time-consuming, and technical endeavor. To his credit, instructor Joel Knudsen has done an excellent job of recruiting, training, and assisting several groups of new producers this past year. We consider it a public relations and educational success if people complete classes and check out the equipment. If they actually follow through with their idea and complete a program it's just icing on the cake. 4
