Introduction to Studio Production

Intro to Studio Production: This class introduces you to the world of studio production – a creative environment that offers the bonus of controlled lighting, sound, and video. This class is designed to teach the student the operation and care of studio. Studio productions are a team effort that require many different people manning different positions, all working together to produce the video. Students will learn by fulfilling the duties of each position in an actual studio production. After successful completion of the class, students will be required to volunteer on four current studio productions before applying for their own non-live studio show.* Prerequisite: Akaku Orientation. Maximum number of students per class is eight, and the class is 16 hours long, usually held over 3 consecutive days. $150

*For non-commercial productions only. Only non-commercial, community access projects qualify for the free use of Akaku equipment and the use of studio, after certification is complete. If producers want to produce commercial content, they will not be able to use the community equipment for commercial projects.
