Month: August 2011

Yesterday we had our first monthly HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS ALUMNI AND FAMILY MEETING in a west Los Angeles Conference room. It was a great meeting with a good turnout for this first meeting.

We talked about the exciting things going on with HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS and some of the future plans within the Los Angeles County Jail system. We believe these changes will offer us more exciting opportunities. Sorry to be so vague here, we’ll talk about those changes as soon as they’re official…

Instructor Chris Ackerman lead us in praise music and prayer to start things off…

After our initial presentation, we opened it up to to the group for questions, discussions and suggestions. After all this Alumni meeting is for them, we needed their input.

We look forward to our second meeting next month. Thanks to all that participated.

We are halfway though our semester. It’s a great class and the students are learning a lot and seem to be really enjoying the classes.

This week we started our camera class with guest instructor Ryan Sheridan of Otto Nemenz Camera. Ryan is terrific instructor and had the students hanging on his every word. You could really see Ryan’s passion come out as he spoke.

During this weeks class, Ryan talked about how the camera, grip and electric departments are put together and what each person does within that department. He also talked about the changing technology, how we’ve moved from film to the digital video capture.

I find it so interesting to watch how our guys, who know nothing about the television or motion picture industry, end up catching our passion for this industry and how quickly the learn.

Ryan, thank you so much for your time. Also we’d like to thank Otto Nememz Camera. They are a terrific camera rental company. You can learn more by visiting their website: www.ottonemenz.com
