We may be fed up with it…but it’s still so pretty!

I know everyone has had enough of the shoveling and wintry weather…I myself am tired of wearing ugly big boots and ski pants to work everyday, but you have to admit that today’s snow is so beautiful!

CAPE ANN TV LUNCH AND LEARN: BASICS OF LOCATION AUDIO

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Cape Ann TV

Lunch & Learn Series: “Basics of Location Audio”

Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series continues on Wednesday, February 22 at
12 Noon with “Basics of Location Audio”.  Presentation and demonstration
by Ted Reed, professional video producer.

We’re listening! Thanks for your feedback about what you’d like to learn
next at Cape Ann TV’s lunch and learn series. Keep those emails coming, we
want to plan our upcoming sessions knowing what you want to know.

Sometimes sound is an afterthought in video productions—
But it shouldn’t be.  Bad audio can make your video unwatchable!

It’s good to know when to use a hand mic, a lav mic, or a shotgun mic. And
what’s the best mixer if you’re using more than one microphone?

Join award-winning local video producer ted reed at our next lunch and
learn at the Cape Ann TV studio on Wednesday February 22nd at noon. Bring
your audio questions and we’ll take a look at what sounds good when it
comes to video.

Space is limited for this event; please RSVP to rtober@capeanntv.org to
reserve your spot.

NEW SHORT FILM: THE UNCOMMON COMMON TERN

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

What fun to encounter a small flock of terns teaching its young to fish. Nearly as large as the adults, the tubby terns cheekily squawk and demand food (shrimp I think in this case). Watch as the fledglings try to master fishing skills while the adults tirelessly guide the young on how to feed themselves.

With thanks to Paul St. Germain, president of the Thacher Island Association, for information about the ongoing restoration of shorebirds on Thacher Island.
