annual community event!

A s the seasons change, FCTV continues to grow and expand both our technology and educational offerings, keeping up with the most current changes in cutting-edge trends for

our producers. In addition to adding new gear, FCTV continues to expand our training curriculum to continue to empower our members with the latest trends in software and social media. During our Annual Appeal we ask for your support and generous contributions to continue to keep our services and initiatives robust and responsive to the needs of our community. This past year, FCTV has added the highly popular and versatile GoPro cameras to enable members to create eye-catching point-of-view or time lapse video, even underwater. FCTV member producers can also now use their favorite iPad to create compelling video with our remarkable new Padcasters. These new devices turn any iPad into a complete video camera with attachments for lights and microphones. Capturing popular public events is now easier for our members with new Intellistage camera platforms and Sennheiser HMD 280 headset/microphone systems, perfect for sporting events and festivals. Multiple camera productions in the field are now more streamlined with our new road case system and 16 channel audio mixer. And building on previous renovations and upgrades thanks to your generosity and support, we've added additional lighting and digital recording capability to our studio and control room. In addition to extending our training curriculum to ensure that our members get the most out of all of our equipment, FCTV has been able to use its new edit and training lab to branch out into new types of training for both members and the general public. Our Google for Nonprofits seminar shows local organizations how to build a more efficient, cost-free suite of web-based tools. Other new classes help people get the most out of their new tablet and smartphone apps, or create better graphics with programs like Photoshop, Motion, and After Effects. Over the past year, we’ve also offered master classes taught by visiting professionals in subjects like 3D Modeling and Flash. With your support, we can continue to offer the types of education, software and equipment that reflects today’s changing world, all while enhancing our members’ media literacy and extending their freedom of speech. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity, donations to FCTV are tax deductible. Furthermore, because FCTV is a local organization, your donation remains here, in our community, allowing us to provide you with the best services, equipment and local programming possible. All donors will receive recognition in our monthly newsletter, Annual Report, Community Bulletin Board, and Honor Roll of Members, Supporters and Underwriters (cablecast three times a day, seven days a week on Public Access Channel 13 and Government Access Channel 15). To those of you who have donated to FCTV in the past, thank you for your generosity. We hope you will continue to support us this year. If you have never contributed to FCTV, now is the time.

The Woods Hole Science and Technology Education Partnership, or WHSTEP, hosted their Family Science Night last

Wednesday, September 24th at Falmouth High School.

Coming soon to Channel 13! Check our Programming Schedule for cablecast times

O f the many new pieces of equipment available to FCTV members, one of the most exciting is the versatile GoPro Hero3+ camera. This

durable and diminutive tool opens new avenues for video expression that were previously unavailable to the general public. It’s even waterproof! One of its particularly notable benefits is the ease with which FCTV producers can now capture P.O.V. (point-of-view), or first-person footage. It is so small and light that it can be easily attached to a beagle, bicycle, sailboat or snorkel for striking high-definition and surprisingly stable action footage. These shots can be used by themselves for a unique and entertaining travelogue, or edited in with footage from our larger JVC 150 cameras for eye-catching cutaways on your latest documentary or PSA production.

Another exciting aspect of our tiny titan is its ability to do time-lapse photography, a vivid way to capture the action of a construction project, underwater adventure, road-trip, or just a day in the life of your favorite street or beach. You may have ideas for projects you never envisioned before once you’ve seen it in action.

Want to learn more? FCTV’s GoPro 101 class can show you exactly how to use its menus, how to mount it, program it, control it, and most everything else about it. Can’t make the next class? Call 508-457-0800 for an appointment and one of FCTV’s production staff can get you up and running.
