Belmont Media Center will be covering several important government meetings throughout the week. Due to schedule overlaps, we had to spread out  the live cablecasts of some of these meetings to channel 96 (Comcast) and 30 (Verizon). This will ensure that every meeting that gets covered will air live. The meetings will air live on the following dates and times:

School Committee - Tuesday, May 21st at 7:30pm - Channel 8 (Comcast) and 28 (Verizon)

Youth Video and Art Summer Workshops

Submitted by Rachel Wiederhoeft on Fri, 05/10/2013 - 16:37

We are so excited to be holding not 1, not 2 but 3 summer workshops for children grades 3 and up.  We know parents are always looking for educational and fun activities for their kids, and the following workshops will really achieve both ends.

Belmont Youth Video Challenge

We'll be teaching the students all about the elements that make a movie - by helping them make a movie of their own. There will be a strong emphasis on media literacy as well. How do we consume things like television, movies and news? What effect does media have on us?

New Sony NX 5 Kit

Submitted by Adam Dusenberry on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 19:01

Our 4th Sony NX-5 camera kit has arrived. 

With this kit comes a tripod which is sturdier with the heavier weight of the NX cameras.  The head is also a true fluid head that will make pans and tilts much cleaner and less choppy.  Over time we plan to replace all of our field tripods with the same kit as this new one.  Try it out and let us know what you think.

In the third lecture of his series, Geoffrey Brahmer discusses "In Remembrance: The Armenian Genocide." This will be a powerful presentation that utilizes history, photographs and diaries/memoirs.  The topic is still a controversial subject in the world today, so Mr. Brahmer will asks some of the most fundamental questions of humanity.
