The MTN Monitor: Training Notes Training Notes

A group of Linden Hills Neighborhood residents are taking MTN's Beginning Video Production class with instructor John Akre in order to tell their neighborhood's story through oral history interviews. The Linden Hills Video Workshop is a project that brings together resources from the Linden Hills Neighborhood Council, the Neighborhood Revitalization Program and MTN. The students receive a reduced rate for the class and MTN membership in exchange for producing video that can be used to get people involved in their neighborhood's work. Last summer, members of the Kenny Neighborhood took the class and produced a video to raise awareness of water quality issues surrounding Grass Lake. If you would like more information on how this program could work with your neighborhood group, call John Akre at the NRP (673-5145) or at MTN (331-8575).

Improve your graphics
MTN will offer to its current members with advanced editing or studio certification a Basic Intro Workshop about the graphics programs "Deluxe Paint" and "Scala" for use on the Amiga computers in the advanced edit suites and studios. This workshop is for a general understanding of the programs and not an in depth study. It will cover some of the uses in transferring graphics from one program to another,simple animation,and possibly the use of the scanner. Anyone who plans on using these programs should realize it takes practice time to use them effectively. Future assistance will and, depending on the amount of interest, we will determine the time and length of the workshops.

For those interested in this workshop, please remember we cannot answer all questions. It's up to you to go on with the learning process! Art Roy (extension 309) is the contact person for information about this workshop.

There is no charge for this workshop! It may be one session or two, about an hour or two each session.

Thank you for all the good programs and support in keeping access alive and well........ Art Roy.
