PPrroodduuccttiioonn GGrroouuppss aatt CCCCTTVVDid you know that there are a number of ongoing productionopportunities at CCTV? We thought not! That’s why we havecreated a guide to CCTV and member-directed productiongroups. You can find it on page 12 of this newsletter, or at cctvcambridge.org/productiongroups

IInn MMeemmoorryy ooff NNaattee RRaayymmoonnddLongtime CCTV member and Friend Nate Raymond died onDecember 8th. Nate was a retired professor at the Universityof Massachusetts at Boston and a U.S. Army veteran of theKorean War. He was involved at CCTV in the 1990’s.Donations in Mr. Raymond’s memory may be made to theCambridge Scholarship Fund, City of Cambridge, Box 2005,Cambridge, MA 02139. Our condolences to Nate’s family.

NNMM:: HHooww ddiidd yyoouu ffiirrsstt bbeeccoommee iinnvvoollvveedd wwiitthh CCCCTTVV?? WWhhaattlleedd yyoouu ttoo ggeett iinnvvoollvveedd?? GS: I initially came to CCTV because a friend from adance class who was a member here was working on aproject and having some issues with it, and at that time,editing was done on Adobe Premier, which I worked witha lot. So I came to help her, and then I started working forJohn Donovan as an intern. I ended up teaching theAdobe Premier class, and also a digital editing basicsclass. The curriculum has really transformed over the years– when I started here, everything was still edited on ana-log, and was just starting to move over to digital.

NNMM:: DDoo yyoouu hhaavvee aa ffaavvoorriittee ccllaassss ttoo tteeaacchh aanndd wwhhyy?? GS: Advanced Final Cut. I love it because when you useFinal Cut in its advanced form, you can create animation,and you can use it with Photoshop. It’s magical how in justthree weeks, students can learn some pretty nifty tricksand really improve the production quality of their work; Ireally encourage more people to take the class. I alsoencourage people to come to the Edit Help sessions onThursdays, because it is really an underused resource, andthat is the time when members can go over things thatare normally not covered in the Final Cut classes, like DVDauthoring and script development, and I can consult withmembers on their projects a more individual basis.

NNMM:: SSoo wwhhaatt ddoo yyoouu ddoo wwhheenn yyoouu’’rree nnoott aatt CCCCTTVV?? GS: For the past three years I have worked at theSimmons Technology Center, PTRC, where I teachPhotoshop and Dreamweaver classes, and I work as a con-sultant. I also used to DJ at the Middle East, for the bellydancers. I did that for seven years and it was a lot of funand always an interesting time. Everyone thinks DJ-ing isabout playing what you want to play, but it’s really aboutpaying attention to the audience and playing what theywant to hear.

NNMM:: WWhhaatt nneeww tthhiinnggss ccaann mmeemmbbeerrss llooookk ffoorrwwaarrdd ttoo iinntteerrmmss ooff ccllaasssseess?? GS: I am planning to teach an IDVD and YouTube com-pression class in the next few months, and there is astrong possibility that by April, there will be nice hand-books available for all of the classes I teach, for Beginningand Advanced Final Cut.

WWhhaatt’’ss yyoouurr ffaavvoorriittee tthhiinngg aabboouutt CCCCTTVV?? GS: There are so many things…my favorite is that CCTV ishere, that it exists, and that it serves people from all walksof life and it’s public to the core. It is incredible to see thechange that can take place if people are given the oppor-tunity; the environment here really motivates you, and canhelp you advance yourself. Nothing compares to thehands-on experience you can get here; it’s really remark-able. CCTV is not your typical public access station –because they get good funding, they stay very technolog-ically advanced. And, I am the biggest student of all – Ilearn so much all of the time here. Being a teacher is likebeing an ongoing student, because your students arealways asking you questions, which pushes you to find theanswers and keep your skills updated. I’m very happy tobe here, to be a part of it all.

GarabedSetrakianspotlight on

If you’ve ever taken an editing class here at CCTV, chances are pretty good that you have met GarabedSetrakian. A CCTV veteran, Garabed has taught editing classes at CCTV for the past eight years, and cur-rently teaches the Beginning Final Cut, Advanced Final Cut, and IMovie classes. He also works as an internfor the Edit Help session on Thursdays, from 6-9pm. I caught up with him to ask him a few questionsabout his experiences at CCTV.

Nilagia McCoy

ccccttvvccaammbbrriiddggee..oorrgg iinn RReevviieewwAs you may have heard, there is this thing called theInternet, and it’s been showing up pretty much every-where for at least 15 years. It’s put a lot of pressure onthe mass media industry we’ve grown to love over the lastcentury.

Newspapers are losing revenue in advertising and classi-fieds because people read blogs and use Craigslistinstead. This month, automakers announced pickuptrucks with built in wireless internet for streaming audio,signifying the nail in the coffin for radio stations and their“drive-time” programs. Video rental businesses can’tcompete with the convenience of Netflix or Xbox stream-ing movies directly to our televisions. Television is caughtbetween a digital broadcast transition, an HD revolution,and a Direct-to-Drive consumer feeding frenzy.And Cambridge Community Television fits in there some-where.

Last year at this time I wrote about some of the plans wehad for our website over the next year. It has been ouragenda to increase the capacity of our website for distrib-uting local content – partly driven by an eye on the massmedia’s eventual phasing out of cable technology andpartly by an eye on our state legislature for policychanges that might vanquish our revenue stream forever.To stay ahead of either of those waves, we proposed topush our website closer to the center of what we do as anorganization: serve as a conduit for Cambridge residentsto present programming that reflects the realities of theirlives here in our city.

Our battle plans in December 2007 were:“Become a local, online news portal reflecting the issuesin our city, produced by Cambridge community mem-bers.” We did it. We redesigned cctvcambridge.org tofacilitate blogging and podcasting and become the samepublic platform that our channels have been for years. Inthe near future we’ll be further shaping the user experi-ence that really makes contributing writing, photo, audioand video a serious priority.

“Become an online social network of media producers,viewers and stakeholders to discuss and rally around localcontent.” We did this, too. We opened up the ability tocreate online profiles and personalities through cctvcam-bridge.org, to get connected to affinity groups on topicsclose to our users’ hearts, and participate in two-wayinteractions about the issues themselves. We’ve drawnnew Cambridge users to our site because of the issues

our members present and we continue to do so as ourwebsite evolves.

“Present a more concise portrait of CCTV’s organizationand services, how to get involved and make media.” Alittle reorganization goes a long way. We’re doing a bet-ter job of helping new and enthusiastic individuals con-nect with CCTV because it’s easier to find information onour offerings, programs, volunteer opportunities, andservices.

But it’s not yet time to congratulate ourselves. Developingour site and maintaining its vision is much like doing laun-dry, dishes or paperwork. With a lot of work from ourboard, staff and volunteers, we have set a trajectory forour online presence. As the market, industry and commu-nity continue to fluctuate on the Internet question, we’llall be here working on new ways to stay ahead and makesure that CCTV can deliver on its promise of providing alocal platform, no matter which way the technology shifts.

PPrroodduuccttiioonn NNootteessCCTV provides valuable services for our city’s individualsand non-profit groups as we help bring their events andmessages to the public. It would not be possible for us todo the work we do, or especially to do it well, without thehelp of our members and volunteers. If you are interestedin helping out with of the shoots below, just give us a callor drop us an email. Contact our Production FacilitatorElisa Kreisinger at 617.661.6900 orelisa@cctvcambridge.org.

• NAACP Martin Luther King Breakfast: CCTV tra-ditionally videotapes the keynote speaker at this benefitbreakfast. If you would like some experience with an on-location shoot in a fairly controlled environment, pleaseget in touch with me!

• Public Service Announcement Day: Coming inthe springtime is CCTV’s Public Service AnnouncementDay, where local non-profits and community centers maycome to our studios and record a 1-minute PSA for a verylow cost. Some are serious, some are wacky, some arespontaneous, but they are all effective in putting out theword about local services. These one-minute pieces playfor 1-2 years and provide low-cost exposure to 29,000cable-subscribing households in our city. If your non-prof-it would like to reserve a slot on one of these two days, orif you would like to volunteer to work on this studio pro-duction, please call Sean 617-661-6900 x111.

4Images of Beauty, Peace and JusticeCatherine Hoffman is a life-longCantabridgian. For 20 years, she workedas the director for the Cambridge PeaceCommission, a department of the city ofCambridge, working to make connectionsbetween local concerns of social justicewith global peace-making efforts.

“For me, taking photographs is a way tocapture and share the beauty which existsin each moment even in the midst of greatsuffering. I have had the privilege to travelto many places in the service of social jus-tice and peace-building. With my sweet-heart in her work, I went to Peru,Cambodia, Niger and Albania. Through Cambridge’s sister city relationship, I have been to ElSalvador every year for 20 years, witnessing the courage and persistence of the Salvadoranstruggle. I have picked olives in the sacred groves of the West Bank accompanying Palestiniansthreatened and under siege from the Israeli military. And I have spent blessed weeks andmonths in Maine, the dunes of Provincetown and Wellfleet.”

“I love the boldness, the breadth and the depth of CCTV and am honored to have my photo-graphs hanging in the gallery. For more photographs and cards, you can contact me at cather-inebhoffman@gmail.com”

4Desert Wilderness“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this huge lake and its grand, rocky container atwater level. Hundreds of pictures were a natural consequence of my perpetual image huntingand camera carrying. In this exhibit are a few of the more striking ones, most taken in the harshclarity of the Arizona summer sun, but including one just before dawn, one at sunset & anotherin the moonlight with a small, though versatile, digital camera.

“They will give you a small sample of the beauty that can be extracted from desert erosion of anotherwise formidable rocky landscape combined with a huge dam, making human & cameraaccess possible. Lake Powell was formed by the construction of Glen Canyon Dam on theColorado River at Page, Arizona.

“The Canyon was carved from the 300 million year old rock of the Colorado Plateau by erosionof the River over 5 million years. Rainbow Bridge, in this picture, is of Navaho Sandstone, a post-

Jurassic formation. The Sierra Club andnumerous other environmental and cul-tural organizations fought hard againstthe construction of the Dam throughoutthe ‘50’s in order to protect the naturalwild river, its lower canyons, NativeAmerican villages and archeologicalsites later flooded by the Lake. Today,the Lake is a reservoir, a flood protec-tion device, a power source and atourist destination for thousands.While it has hidden invaluable historicsites, it offers views and experiencesof an otherwise impenetrable land-scape to many thousands.”

In December, one member wrote: “All CCTV staff andmembers, particularly BeLive producers, should beinformed that there is a Lost and Found Box at the sta-tion. If items are left behind, individuals should beencouraged to place them in the box.”

The MAC responded, bringing this comment to the staffof CCTV. Staff created signage for the Lost and FoundBox, which is adjacent to the front desk, and posted aflyer on the BeLive set encouraging producers to turn initems left behind to the Lost and Found.

The Digital Divide program has taken some great steps over the last few months as several participants have signed upfor additional computer training and media production classes. We are also designing and implementing a “train-the-trainer” program using our Flip Mino video cameras and computer editing software. The trainers will then teach aworkshop for other Digital Divide program participants living at Newtowne Court.

Through this opportunity participants will experience the process of making media. Using basic equipment and videoediting software, students will be create a story to be shared on both our cable channels and website. We hope thesefirst steps will inspire other participants to get more involved here at CCTV.

To learn more, visit http://www.cctvcambridge.org/digitaldivide. If you have any questions about the program, pleasecontact Colin Rhinesmith at colin@cctvcambridge.org or 617.661.6900 ext. 126.

SSuucccceessssffuull SSttaarrtt ttoo NNeeiigghhbboorrMMeeddiiaa ’’0088--’’0099 PPrrooggrraammThe second year of CCTV’s NeighborMedia (www.neigh-bormedia.org) program kicked off on October 8th. Threereturning participants joined eight new participants to takepart in this year’s program.

Many of the new participants are enrolled in classes hereat CCTV in areas such as video production, audio journal-ism, and online media production. We also offered acourse in digital photography for NeighborMedia partici-pants in November.

New participants havenot been expected toproduce stories using ourwebsite and our cablechannels, yet. However,there still has been quitea lot of activity on ourwebsite!

Interestingly, many newparticipants are also cur-rent or former profession-al print and photojournal-ists. Many of them joined

NeighborMedia because of changes taking place in theirrespective industries. As a result, they are finding thatNeighborMedia fits their needs and interests in a shiftingmedia landscape.

I am alsoexcitedthat par-ticipantswith littleto no jour-nalismback-groundcan partic-ipate onthe sameplayingfield withthose who have more experience. I am looking forward towatching how this blend of professional and citizen jour-nalism will develop over the coming year.

So, stay tuned for more local NeighborMedia stories onour website. You can also stay connected toNeighborMedia through participating in the followingways:

“My wife of 34 years and I moved to theBoston area in June of this year, after rais-ing our family of three daughters in aKansas-side suburb of Kansas City, where Iwas born and raised as well. I attended col-lege at UCLA, (class of '70), and returned tomy home in Kansas after five years out inCalifornia.

Two of our daughters have settled in theEast, and our first grandchild was born inMay of 2006. Once that baby was born, wewasted little time in moving out here to becloser to them. Our oldest daughter, aStanford graduate, lives in New York, and isteaching at Columbia U while she finishesher doctorate in documentary film history atNYU. Our middle daughter, the proudmother of our 19 month old grandson, hasa masters from Harvard and now teacheshigh school at a private boarding school inEasthampton, Mass. Our youngest daugh-ter, who earned a masters at Northeastern

U in Boston, which she attended on a bas-ketball scholarship, is now playing profes-sional basketball in Europe.

Although I was born and raised in theMidwest, I have a life-long history in theBoston area. My father was born in Roxbury,(in the kitchen of my immigrant grandpar-ents' apartment), and was raised there. Ispent most every summer as a boy livingwith my beloved 'Babi and Dyi-Dyi', and theextended family of aunts, uncles, cousins,and godparents all up and down HighlandPark Ave. My grandparents spoke theirnative Ukrainian in the home, and neverspoke more than very primitive English.

Roxbury, at that time, was a very diverseneighborhood, with many Slavic and Irishimmigrants as well as African-Americans. Iam very thankful that I had the benefit ofthis rich cultural experience. Some of mybest childhood memories are of playingbaseball with the neighborhood 'gang' onthe gravel and broken glass field beside theold fort up on Fort Hill, and 'kick-the-can' inthe streets and trash strewn alleyways of theneighborhood.

I am a carpenter by trade, and spent over30 years swinging a hammer every day. Ialso ran my own contracting company, anda crew of up to a dozen men. I am retiredfrom that career now, and actively lookingfor new opportunities. I like to write, andI've also been a semi-professional photog-rapher for many years. I'm afforded the lux-ury of this early (though hopefully tempo-rary) retirement by the good graces of mylong-suffering wife, who has not only put upwith me all these years, but is now support-ing us in her corporate job. I'm thankful tohave the time to contribute to the efforts ofCCTV to help build and maintain a sense ofcommunity among the citizens ofCambridge.”
