A Big Production Week

This week we had nine shoots on our schedule and a lot of footage to edit. Between Monday and Tuesday we had three candidates in to record their video statements for our website and Mayor Martin invited Town Council President Tim Farrell into our studio for a chat on Tuesday afternoon. Thursday was our day for location shoots; our New Media Producer taped interviews with planners of the upcoming National Prescription Drug Takeback Day (you'll be hearing more about that on our homepage next week) at a breakfast with Northwestern District Attorney Dave Sullivan, volunteer Tom L. headed over to Town Hall in order to cover the emergency town council meeting regarding the preliminary election (check out the story that's on our homepage right now), and Philippe broadcast the Greenfield School Committee meeting live. Friday was not a slow day either as our Station Manager began his workday first thing in the morning filming the latest Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Breakfast and Joe Gochinski brought two State Representatives (William "Smitty" Pignatelli of the 4th Berkshire District & Brian Ashe of the 2nd Hampden District) in for conversations in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the staff has been editing the seven sessions of last weekend's Creative Economy Summit, that even a Shelburne Falls-wide power outage couldn't stop us from getting on camera, and the Greenfield Planning Board Meeting from March 17th.

In other news, be sure to keep an eye out here, on our channel, and our website for some festive foolishness next Friday.
