Welcome to another week of news from the FCTV World Headquarters.  We hope that you enjoy this week's news from your favorite public access television studio . . .

THE FLOOD OF '05

As most of you have already heard at this point (yesterday's email probably helped), FCTV was under water on Sunday.  Thanks to the quick thinking of the Bacons and Kevin Lynch, we were able to avoid any MAJOR damage to the facility.  Also thanks to the Bacons, here are some photos of what the facility looked like on Sunday afternoon. 

At the time of this weekly eNews, we are still closed.  We promise to re-open the doors on Thursday morning at 10am.  We are sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused.

WELCOME DEREK FRATES

As stated here last week, we are proud to to announce the addition of Derek Frates as our new Production Coordinator (see picture above).  Derek comes to us after spending the last five years at New Bedford Cable Access.  He is a big sports fan, following the Oakland Raiders and the Boston Red Sox (but nowhere near as big a fan as me).  He will be working a part-time schedule throughout the month of June and starting with us full-time in July.  Stop by and introduce yourself to Derek!

Attention FCTV Producers & Members

If you've ever spent any time here at the studio, you know how little storage space we actually have.  As FCTV continues to grow, we are starting to realize that our tape library upstairs desperately needs to be cleaned out.  There are tapes of shows up there that haven't aired on Channel 13 in a LONG time and will probably never again see the light of day.  So we are asking that all that all producers and members, current and past, come and pick up their tapes as soon as they can.  That's why we are announcing that on August 1, 2005, we will be starting to clean out the library ourselves.  That means that a lot of the tapes will most likely be thrown out.  So the next time you come in, go upstairs and take a look to see if there's anything there you might want to keep and take with you.

Also, as has been stated here before, we are going to need ALL FCTV Members to come in and take a look at the operating rules and regulations.  We are going to need everyone to re-sign the back page of that packet.  It's the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIVING OPERATING RULES & REGULATIONS page.  A lot of people have already done this, but there are a lot more who haven’t.  If you have any questions about this, come on in and talk to Victoria, Debby, David, or Jason.

FCTV FUNDRAISER
Don't miss this great opportunity!  FCTV is once again selling Cape Cod Dining Club Books.  It’s a terrific gift, and fundraiser for FCTV.  With your book you will receive more than $600 in discounts at  numerous restaurants including Parrot Bar & Grill, Pi Pizza & Bistro, Jillian’s, The Flume, Golden Swan, Belfry Inne & Bistro, The Nimrod, Sienna Italian Grill, Kansas City Steak House, The Eatery @ 146, Way Ho, Bobby Byrne’s, Blue Oyster Grill, Penner’s Place, Alberto’s, The Paddock, Road House Cafe, Colonial House Inn, Christine’s, Winston's,  Tai House. and MORE!

The book pays for itself if used only three times. The book can be used immediately and is good until December 30, 2005.

The Maser Gallery is open to the public.  We welcome walk-ins.  Exhibit Hours are during all FCTV regular business hours.  The Gallery is also open on Sunday and Monday from 2pm-10pm, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10am-10pm, and Friday from 10am-6pm.

FCTV Member Judy Shapiro is also looking for some production help as well.  You can contact her directly at 781-449-6964.

This isn't really something that fits under crew notes but here goes anyways . . . Falmouth resident Betty Hickey is looking for a member of FCTV to sponsor a program on prostate cancer.   If you'd like more information, please contact her directly at 508-457-0428.

We have orientations set up for the first Monday of every month (the next ones are scheduled for 7/11 & 8/1).  These are open to anyone in the community interested in learning more about FCTV before diving right into the classes.

Basic Studio Production will be held in on Wednesday & Thursday nights.  David Finer will teach you how to put together a multi-camera shoot from inside the FCTV Studio.  Classes will be held in June (6/22, 6/23, 6/29, & 6/30).  They are held from 7pm-9pm right here at FCTV.

Basic Non-Linear Editing is being taught by Jason Crow and is a one-session class that covers the basics of computer based editing.  You MUST have taken basic field production before taking this class.  Advanced Non-Linear Editing will be offered by appointment only to those that have successfully completed the basic class.

If you've ever wanted to learn the system over at town hall for meeting coverage, then take the Town Hall Control Room Workshop.  That class will be held on 6/27 each starting at 7pm at Falmouth Town Hall.

The Canon GL-Series Digital Camera Workshop is a one two-hour workshop, by appointment, for those looking to brush up their skills on the new digital cameras.  You can sign up for this class ONLY if you've taken Basic Field Production beforehand.  Call David Finer to set up an appointment.

Check out the FCTV website for a listing of more classes!
