You Call the Shots!

Q. How many people does it take to produce a three-camera shoot at Gloucester City Hall?

A. One volunteer!

The City of Gloucester has purchased and installed a complete studio at City Hall for live three-camera shoots for municipal meetings. The director sits at a table with an audio board and a robotic joy stick unit that controls the camera shots.

If you want to be the director, Cape Ann TV will teach you all you need to know. Please contact us using our form or call Lisa at 978-281-2443.
