Clips: provided by CCTV
Final project length: 5 - 15 minutes recommended

"Super Action Stunt Show"
 Family program
Skill level: Intermediate
New skills: Slow motion, animated titles using LiveType, sound effects mixing
Clips: provided by volunteer
Final project length: 2-10 minutes
Staff contact: Greg - greg@cctvsalem.org
Details: This program is a lot of fun, and highly recommended for families to work on together. Editors start by watching the pilot episode. The project file, title templates, music library tracks, logos, and all source video clips are available for your reference.
You will then work with Greg to develop a plan for creating your own segment. Check out a camera and shoot about 20-30 minutes of safe toy stunts. Record action commentary and sound effects. Use your imaginations and have a good time!
Once shooting is complete, capture the tape as soon as you can. Create your own episode while keeping with the show's established themes.
Any producer who takes on this project will have an entire episode of TRONGuide TV devoted to their hard work!
Photo Video
Skill level: Beginner and up
New tools and skills: Working with stills
Final project length: 1-5 minutes
Staff contact: Greg - greg@cctvsalem.org
Details: Take a series of STILL PHOTOS using your digital camera, then bring them in to CCTV. Add music and a couple simple titles and you're finished! The entire project, including photo shooting, can be completed in a day or two.
NOTE: Project Editing programs are provided for training purposes and are considered official CCTV productions. Unlike producer-originated content, your final project is subject to staff approval before telecast on TRONGuide TV (with the exception of Photo Video). Talk to Greg for details.
