General Orientation February 18th at 6:30pm 

Curious about KDRT, DCTV or DJUSD Channel 17, and want to learn how Davis Media Access can help you? Sign up to attend our General Orientation!

Any potential volunteers please come to one of these, held monthly.  They last about an hour and include the history of Davis Media Access, a tour of the facilities, and information on how to get involved.

Anybody is welcome to attend an Orientation, but to use the facility for your own productions you have to live, go to school, or volunteer at an organization in Davis, California.  Davis Media Access does not charge for the use of our equipment and facilities and attending a General Orientation is the first step for getting involved.

The little GoPro camera is changing the way we look at video, and resulting in some of the most exciting footage on the Internet. Perhaps you recently came into possession of a GoPro camera?   Or maybe you've had one for years and barely use it.  Perhaps you find it a bit difficult to use, with only two buttons and many menu options?   Bring your camera to this special workshop, where we'll go over the basics of the camera, discuss simple ways of using it, and answer specific questions participants may bring. Taught by Jeff Shaw.

This is a low-cost, educational workshop and part of DMA’s ongoing mission to train the public in local community media.  No prior involvement with Davis Media Access is required for attendance.  Members of the public are welcome to register.  Please bring your GoPro camera with you fully charged!
