Here it is, the final video project from our two-week movie-musical youth workshop. Thanks again to all the students and parents who made this possible. What a great way to jump into the 2013/2014 school year!

Songs about imaginary friends, caffeine, and a no-nonsense IRS auditor. Just another day inside a lovely, unnamed company.

Conceived, filmed, and edited over the course of Billerica Access Television's two-week 2013 Youth Summer Workshop: movie musical session.

Wow - what a great week w/the BATV movie musical workshop students! We've begun recording our group vocals, and will finish up next week, but for now here's a sneak peak of the intro song I wrote the music/lyrics for...the students all singing together sound much better than me alone, but you'll get the idea. Just imagine an imaginary friend, a clumsy office worker, a slacker, an IRS auditor, and more, together in rhyme...

Today marked the end of our fourth workshop this summer, with students newish to our facility working with the field and studio cameras, and writing their own scripts, as demonstrated by this short example below. Great job all of you!

A cop's precious hat is stolen by a clown...how will he ever get it back, esp. when a dangerous humicorn guards it?

Also features a commercial for Cowsmoosejuice!

Filmed as part of BATV's 2013 Youth Summer Workshop series: New/Newer Members Week.

We're halfway through our six weeks of youth summer workshops here at BATV, and our latest session has been the busiest yet! Students wrote and directed their own short narrative projects over two days; here's a sample - a creeper steals students' possessions...but why? The group gets on the case, and what they find out will change them, and the modern art world, forever...

Students from the Boys and Girls Club recently participated in BATV's second week of summer youth workshops, becoming certified in field and studio recording. Here's a sample of their work, in which a unicorn wreaks havoc upon an unsuspecting access television facility...

BATV's 2013 Summer Workshops started this week, with our documentary session. Students participated in the filming of a traditional mini-documentary, at the Bennet Library, as well as created two short narrative videos below. The first, "Charlie," is a mockumentary about students' reactions to a man taking up residence between BATV's water canisters. The second, "Awkward Silence," is a meditation on acoustical void, and how to fix it. Enjoy!

Our new MIDI keyboard is so easy, even a walrus can use it...
