NEW Class Updates: Digital Storytelling with Flip Cameras
Learn the basics of digital storytelling using Flip cameras. This course will take students through the basic principles of digital storytelling, from developing ideas to scripting and storyboarding, in addition to camera basics and interview techniques. A basic knowledge of Final Cut Pro is required, as ultimately projects will culminate in layering photos, b-roll and music. This course is a great way to refine your storytelling skills while getting familiar with the easy to operate flip cameras.
Dates: Wednesdays March 14, 21 and 28, 6-9 PM
Prerequisite: Basic Final Cut Pro

Donor Campaign
Thanks to all of those who have supported us during the launch of our donor campaign. In the four weeks since the start of our campaign we raised almost $5,000 towards our matching grant of $50,000. We need to keep the momentum going! Tell your friends! Like us on Facebook!
Helping non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, schools and residents of all ages communicate through media strengthens our community-- and this is the mission of CMCM. But we can't continue to do this without your support, so now CMCM is reaching out to the broader community to ask you to help us deliver more of the kind of programming that is important to you.
With your support we can expand our efforts to bring more local programming, training, and services to Marin. As existing members and advocates of CMCM, you are in a unique position to let the community know about CMCM and Marin TV.
