“Tri-Valley Youth View,” a special program produced by middle and high school students at a unique summer camp teaching television broadcasting techniques, is now airing on TV30, the Tri-Valley’s community broadcasting system.
The one-hour special features Tim Sbranti, who is interviewed about his job as mayor of Dublin; former Livermore Mayor Marshall Kamena, who talks about coin collecting; Lee Jouthas from the Dublin Library; Jennifer Amiel with the Pleasanton Museum on Main; Lisa Healy from Tri-Valley Animal Rescue, and Nancy Mulligan from the Livermore Heritage Guild.
The program represents the work of students who attended the first of two camps conducted by TV30 under the direction of Camp Director, Mitch Eason. The hands-on TV camps provide an introduction to the technical and talent aspects of studio and field production.
“Tri-Valley Youth View” was written and produced by the 10 students from Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and Hayward who participated in the five day camp in June. They researched and wrote questions, acted as crew for all the production positions and were the talent for the program.
A second camp session will start Aug. 6.
This is the fourth summer Tri-Valley Community Television, under the management of Melissa Tench-Stevens, executive director of TV30, has offered the special camp.
“We had a super group of ‘new producers’ in our June camp,” Tench-Stevens said. “We have a couple of spots remaining in the August camp. Students in that camp will interview guests Livermore Mayor John Marchand and former Oakland Raider Napoleon Kaufman, among others.”
