Experience
http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/deptsites/enttech/index.shtml
Following a curriculum of my own design, I guide students through the fundamentals of television production, including camera operation, pre-production, and Tricaster operation. Students gain experience in all production roles. In a separate class I introduce web design, graphics, video, and audio editing, with a focus on proper research methods as necessary in our rapidly changing field.
