I acted as producer and editor for Studio B Sessions Season 3 at Arlington Community Media, Inc. a public access station in Arlington, MA. Studio B Sessions is a live-sessions music series of the likes of MTV Unplugged, KEXP and NPR Tiny Desk featuring local artists.
After being the featured performer in the first episode, I went on to direct many of the future episodes in this season. Working with other interns and Arlington youth, I got a handle on live directing camera operators and a technical director.
Throughout the summer, I also had a chance to take on the producer role by acquiring talent for the series, helping to redesign the set, and working with another intern to revamp the intro graphic.
Studio B Sessions was filmed live-to-tape to simulate TV production. After filming, I had the opportunity to polish episodes in Adobe Premiere Pro. You can check out the rest of the season here:
