Rio Valley Charter School Youth Awarded by Access Sacramento After a Semester of Studio Use

 

Access Sacramento last night was proud to honor a crew of high school students from Rio Valley Charter school after completing a semester of training in the Access Sacramento TV studio.
Rio Valley Charter School Students plus (front from left) Principal Marcie Grill, Instructor Bonnie Stewart and Access Sacramento Trainer Jesse Nix.
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.
