If you would be interested in learning the basics of how a TV show is put together, this volunteer opportunity is for you!!
Volunteers do not need to have any experience. We will provide all training. Crewmembers will work in rotating positions, as they become trained and are comfortable, in a variety of areas on the production of a cable access TV show, also shown on YouTube, and other social media sites. Positions will include camera person, floor director, audio, graphics, and eventually, director.
We tape a new show twice monthly (the first and third Thursdays of each month). This may vary periodically, but not very often. Crewmembers arrive at the studio (located in the Oshkosh City Hall building) at 5:30pm and we usually wrap up about 7:30pm.
If we have a large enough number of volunteers, crewmembers would not necessarily need to "work" both Thursdays in a month. But our crew currently works both Thursdays each month.
Each week's show covers a different topic. We cover anything and everything that affects or would be of interest to people in the Oshkosh area. This includes: local politics and government; pet therapy and support dogs; local animal shelter happenings; fire safety and prevention; police department issues; poverty; affordable housing; United Way; the Oshkosh Public Library and Oshkosh Public Museum; veterans issues; dementia; breast cancer awareness; the local Farmers Market; food co-op store; etc.
This show has been on-the-air since 2002 and for a complete list of the various topics we've covered and to watch any of our past shows, we would encourage you to search for Eye on Oshkosh on YouTube.com. We have our own YouTube channel and it houses all the shows we've done over the years.
As a crewmember, you will not only get to learn basics of TV production and have your name on the credits at the end of the show, but you will get to learn a lot of new things that our guests talk about, and meet a lot of new people, many of whom are great connections to have.
We would invite you to contact us at 920-209-7387 OR Cheryl.Hentz@gmail.com OR EyeOnOshkosh@gmail.com to learn more.
