VOLUNTEER FOR FIELD PRODUCTIONS OR EDITING

You may also choose to be a volunteer videographer in the field and or an editor.

We get lots of calls from local organizations who would love to get an event taped, such as a guest speaker or a panel discussion. There are also studio producers who would like to get some footage from a specific location to include in their studio discussion. Those who request a volunteer cover the costs of tapes and equipment lending. Usually the volunteer picks up and returns the equipment.

Editors are always in high demand. There are plenty of beginning editors who could use some mentoring. There are also videographers who tape something in the field, but don’t know how to put opening titles or closing credits onto the tape. Others would like to cut something down to a shorter piece.

After taking the appropriate classes, you would become listed as a potential volunteer that Media Center staff or studio producers might call with a request. You can always say no if you are busy or the topic doesn’t interest you.
