DMA offers summer Kid Vid & Animation camps
Davis Media Access (DMA) announces open registration for its popular summer 'KidsVid' Video Camp and Kids Animation Camp. DMA will offer two KidsVid camp sessions this summer, as well two sessions of Animation Camp. New this summer, campers will be able to take advantage of DMA's brand-new HD TV studio, while Animation camps have been expanded to five days each. "Our training is generally geared to individuals aged 14 and older, so Kid Vid Camp presents a unique summer learning opportunity for younger kids," said Jeff Shaw, DMA's production manager. The camps are team taught by DMA staffers Alex Silva-Sadder and Shaw, with assistance from high school and college interns. Click Read More for more :)
