Dublin Community Television has been working hard on supporting members to develop their own programme ideas over the last few months which has resulted in more volunteer shows running on the station than on any other TV broadcaster in the country.

As more programmes get in to production we need more people to get involved, learn how to produce television and share their skills with a like minded crew. In order to facilitate this we are offering you to come and meet some of the producers that are recruiting for their
new programmes. These productions are on a variety of subjects, including sports, music, current affairs, art and more.

If you would like to get involved in making community television come along to the Ireland Institute on Friday 24th of May at 3.30pm to get involved.

DCTV is looking for volunteers to come and produce some media in our shopfront studio on the theme of ‘Mayday’. Supported by Dublin City Community Forum we have previously worked with volunteers last year making media on the topics of Mayday and International Womens Day and we are seeking volunteers for a days filming on May 1st with a pre-production/planning meeting on Monday 22nd Of April at 6pm .

So if you want to get involved in filming interviews , discussions , music, comedy, event reports or anything else you would like to propose we will provide training and support.

First step is a meeting on the evening of Monday 22nd Of April to bring your ideas to and meet the other volunteers – no experience is necessary. For more details and to get involved fill in the form here . Your work will be on television as all material will be shown on DCTV on UPC channel 802 and online on DCTV’s channel on Aertv.ie as well as being available via our vimeo .

Each Wednesday afternoon, DCTV runs a studio operator training course which is free to paid up members of the station.

We have been running the course throughout the year and members that have completed it have gone on to become actively involved in our ongoing volunteer production Citywide, as well as creating their own studio productions like The Live Register and Bump TV.

The course requires no previous experience and is a great taster for
groups and individuals who want to actively get involved in making
community television.

The course shows the basic operation of the studio and offers the
opportunity for participants to make a short video piece.
The studio has a fully digital workflow including three remote control
cameras, vision and audio mixers and the ability to broadcast live on cable and the internet.

We are now accepting bookings for places on our courses in 2013.

Contact barry@dctv.ie for more details.
