Description
TO BE ELIGIBLE: Must live or work in Wallingford or a neighboring town.
You have a show idea. What comes next?
Access to local community TV studios is not the same everywhere. We make it simple. We support your passion, your talent, your ideas with our tools & stage. Some locations require that you have a crew of up to four people, others require 2 to 6 weeks of training so that you can handle all aspects of production, and others limit support to a simple format.
At WPAA-TV there are a few production styles to choose. Independent producers can just use the resources and do it all themselves. Others may want support from our volunteers. All methods require collaboration and onboarding. Our goal is to support your goals as optimally as possible within our limited resources.
The basic steps:
Community media must be noncommercial and copyright-compliant. Please understand that resources are shared and scheduled on 1st come, 1st serve basis by sending an inquiry to reserve@wpaa.tv
- Make a call or send an email to reserve@wpaa.tv to set up an appointment to review your ideas, show styles, take a tour, and affirm your eligibility.
- Work out a Program Plan with staff. A plan will document the resources your idea will need to be produced as TV. It will identify a timeline and things like your prospective show's name, style, and duration.
- Set up a time to observe a show currently in production. Recommendation: Watch a locally produced show with a similar style on @wpaaTv Youtube: SHOWS #wpaatv You will be asked if you are familiar with our programming as a starting point of the plan.
- Register contact information for ongoing communication. Provide confirmation of eligibility. Connect with the community on social media.
- Develop/select your show assets:
- Music (Create your own or select from a royalty-free audio collection such as YouTube Library. )
- Create an introduction to your show: 8-30 seconds of graphics or video.
- Produce a format to close the show with credits, produced at wpaa-tv and a disclaimer
- Create other assets: Talk shows typically identify hosts, guests, and show names with graphics.
- Based on the show-style set-up a plan for the roll-in of graphics, audio, or video
- Design your set. Choose a Black, Gray, or Green curtain. If greenscreen is selected what images will be used? Choose a table, chairs, and accessories.
- Schedule a try-out session. During this time it is recommended that you do a 1 to 5-minute description of your show. This can be an asset for your YouTube Channel. The channel can use a wpaa.tv email or be your personal account that you manage.
