Here's a resource for those looking to get into film production, podcasting, let's play videos but don't have the money for the equipment or knowledge on how to use that equipment properly.
Community Access Media (CAM) is a non-profit organization that produces content for public access television. For a yearly subscription of about 60 dollars they will train you in the use of the equipment, video editing techniques, and anything else you need to learn to make your project come to life. There is no additional costs beyond the yearly subscription unless you want to outsource production tasks to the staff. Such as editing.
You go on their site and reserve studio assets for set dates and times. Come in and use them. They have green screen rooms, podcast booths, let's player booths. The staff are extremely positive and supportive.
What CAM gets out of this is that they get to play your content on community access television. Whatever that content may be. You retain rights to everything you make and can do with it what you want as long as you allow them to play it on television.
They are a FANTASTIC resource for those in poverty looking to produce content as a hobby or trying to break into various media industries. So, of course, they are constantly under threat of being shut down.
If you are interested, google to see if there is a CAM studio in your area. They are spread all over the United States.
