The makeover of Studio A has begun.  Installers from Major Theater began the three day process of installing the curtain and track in Studio A.

First the studio had to be emptied an some lighting fixtures had to come down so the installers could work. 

Day One began with the laying out of the track on the floor. Day One complete with most of the track hanging from the lighting grid.

Tech Tip - 4/20/12

Submitted by Adam Dusenberry on Fri, 04/20/2012 - 17:31

Converting to tapeless recording media in our camcorders has been a learning experience for all involved.  We are continuing to find quirks of the medium and solutions to those quirks.

One such quirk was known that when recording long clips (longer than 12  minutes for HD, 30 for SD) the camera creates new clips when it hits this time limit.  I discovered its not actually a function of the camera but of the way that the media cards are formated.

Farewell Party for Stacey

Submitted by Jeff Hansell on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 17:18

Dear friends,

Well, after nearly four years on the job here at Belmont Media Center, Stacey Conley (Hammerlind) will be leaving the employ of BMC to further her career in the vital and honorable field of nursing. We wish her all the best in the future . . . though we will definitely miss her here - as will the many people whose lives she has touched or have been made a bit more interesting.

Stacey has done so much to make BMC into one of the most caring and engaged community media centers anywhere.
