New Hampshire Community Technical College Laconia’s new Media Arts and Technology Department is offering two new cinematography workshops this summer.  Introduction to Digital Video Production will be held July 9-13, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The follow-up workshop, Documentary Video Production, is being held July 16-20, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Florida State University Media Production Department Head, Dr. Andy Opel (Tallahassee, FL), will be teaching the two workshops at NHCTC Laconia.  Each will be presented in the new Center for Arts and Technology academic building, Room 221, on Prescott Hill.  The cost of each workshop is $400.  If both are purchased by July 2, there is a special offer of $700 for the pair.

“NHCTC Laconia is incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Opel bring his cinematography expertise to the Lakes Region,” says NHCTC Laconia’s new Media Arts and Technology Department Coordinator, Michael Place (Penacook).  “Digital video production fundamentals will be covered well and individuals completing the workshops will be able to create high quality digital media products.”

“Media Arts and Technology is a natural offshoot of the College’s Graphic Design and Printing Technology programs of study,” says NHCTC Laconia Academic Affairs Vice President, Tom Goulette (Belmont), former graphics department head before entering the College’s administration.  “Having professionals of Dr. Opel’s caliber is exciting.  He brings a great deal of attention to Laconia’s new Media Arts program of study.”

For additional information and to register for the two cinematography workshops, contact Place, Goulette, or College Counselor, Carolyn Hill (Campton), at 524-3207.  Space is limited to 10 students per class.
