The group is the first to benefit from a unique opportunity for students involved in the school's digital media and performing arts program. Two days a week, the students and their teacher use the studio, cameras, audio, lighting and control room to create content that can air on Access Sacramento while learning professional job skills. A second semester of training begins in January when the students will shift from the multiple-camera studio approach, to a simgle-camera Hollywood style method which will also include editing on Access Sacramento's computers in our digital media lab.
