Joint Meeting of Pittsfield School Committee and Pittsfield City Council
On February 13, 2003 the Pittsfield School Committee and City Council held a joint meeting to discuss important budgetary issues dealing with education.  Pittsfield ETV worked with sister channel CityLink to provide viewers with a three camera production complete with 16 microphones.
The following are some photos from the production at the Berkshire Athenaeum.
School Committee members Dorothy Van den Honert, Thomas Perrea, Michael Castronova, and Angel Ramirez are seen shortly before the meeting got underway. A wide shot of the room before the meeting started.  As you can see we had to get quite a wide shot to fit all of the school committee and city council members in the shot.
Production technician Rob Dumais is testing the podium microphone for the production.  Please note the well placed PCTV banner behind Rob. Here is the camera view of the podium.
The meeting has begun. Matt from the Pittsfield Public Schools assisted with camera work during the shoot.
