Community events

Are you looking to play an active role in your community? Why not use your developing video production skills to provide viewers a look at one of the many great events happening in and around the area.

What Type of video can I make?

With prior approval of the event organizer, there are numerous ways that you as a DATV video producer can provide coverage of an event. Here are a few examples, but the only limit is your imagination.

Performance Recording: You may record the complete performance of a band, singer, presenter or other visual artist.

Highlight Video: You may record highlights of various aspects of an event and then edit short clips together to create an overview of event.

Interviews: You can interview event organizers and participants to highlight their role in the event.

Event Preview: Talk with organizers and have them explain what their nonprofit event is about and how people can attend.

How do i get started?

Contact Volunteer Coordinator Dale Grow for listings of upcoming events and for advice on how to contact the organizers to get permission for your video shoot.
