OMF recently held our first-ever Youth Music Video Media Camp, and it was an incredible experience!  Lead instructors worked with a team of youth who did concept, pre-production, filming and editing for the song "Rise" by the Flobots  -  all in one week!

 

The youth started the week with a curiosity about media and finished the camp as filmmakers.

The world-wide premiere of the video is Thursday, August 16th, 6p, in Studio A here at OMF. Please join us!

We have a spot available in our Sept 2-on-2 workshop. During the 2-on-2, we take two students and pair them with two professionals to complete a media project. With 32 hours of 1-on-1 training, students learn every aspect of production and complete the class with a real-world project that is shown on both Denver Open Media and hosted on our website. 

 

Cost is $750 per student, and includes certification in both Final Cut Pro Editing and Field or Studio Production at Denver Open Media. For more information or to sign up, email us.

Monthly Update with Tony Shawcross   

Our latest version of the Open Media Project (OMP), reflects a major step forward in our mission to put the power of the media and technology in the hands of the people.  For the first time, small stations with limited budgets and technical resources will have an opportunity to join a growing network of stations devoted to empowering their communities to run a new kind of media operation. Our goal is to help community media stations modernize, getting all their content online and shared with other stations, establishing a network unlike anything we've seen before. Unlike other networks the programming of the OMP is created, rated, and scheduled by the community... it's truly community-driven TV.

This cloud-based service is open-source and fully-supported, meaning stations without technical staff will not require an in-house developer and through our partnership with Archive.org, the OMP enables content-sharing across stations on a level never before possible. During this challenging economy, everyone is searching for the most cost-effective way to continue meeting their organization's goals, and it's especially important for our nonprofit partners, government agencies and community media stations that may be hardest hit by budget reductions.

We're excited to unveil a government version of the software at the National Alliance for Public Affairs Networks conference on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012.  A third version targeted at schools, libraries, and community technology centers will be launched in September in partnership with Warecorp, Inc.
