Lights, Camera, Action!
Arriving at the high school with even more boxes in tow, we expanded class lessons into using our video equipment, how the cameras are arranged, how to operate them in different recording formats, and how the Marantz audio recorder syncs with them to create powerful and high quality tools for our project.
RU mentors Fiona Mahar-Milani and Olivia Thompson
explain the camera equipment set-up process.
RU mentors divide into three groups, each hosting an explanatory workshop on the different components of this crucial set-up process. Students rotate between arranging the tripods, from powering up and formatting the recorders, to operating and connecting the camera to the proper ports.Derik Galvez, RU mentor, helps test interconnected recording equipment.
In each workshop students have an opportunity for hands-on experience with the tools, and it's nice to see their growing familiarity and enjoyment of technology.
Finally, once all of the students have completed each step, the RU mentors
explain the importance of making sure everything is properly packed away, with an appreciation for careful, protective care of sensitive equipment.
