It's summertime and there's lots to do at the CMC!
Feeling the Beat with GRTV, the Education Department and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing School
This summer has been an exciting time at GRTV and the Education Department! Recently students from the Deaf and Hard of Hearing School (DHHS) joined us at 711 Bridge Street in the GRTV studio to create a fantastic music video set to “Can’t Stop the Feeling” as sung by Justin Timberlake. The kids and their families and instructors had a blast as they worked together to do all parts of the music video production, from story boarding, to utilizing the video equipment, and editing the final cut! The students wanted to show that they enjoy music too! Feeling the music is an important part of enjoying the music, and that feeling transcends ability levels. Enjoy this wonderful music video and photos from the exciting day in the studio.

IT Department
The non-profit video production services department is currently booking projects for the fall.
"Community Media Services, or CMS, is a division of GRTV that specializes in creating quality video productions of all types exclusively for nonprofits, at a cost that is substantially lower than commercial production companies.
Community Media Services was added to GRTV in 1998 to provide member organizations of the Community Media Center with a quicker, cost-effective alternative for those who didn't want to take the time to become a 'do-it yourselfer,' learning how to produce professional quality presentations. Since inception, CMS staff have taken on a wide variety of projects, from simple single camera event recordings to complex multi-camera productions and long form documentaries."
More information on the CMC's non-profit IT department can be found here and here.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
