This session shares my conversation with Chris Flynn. Chris is a videographer and currently the Studio Manager for Franklin TV. We had our discussion at the Franklin TV Studios on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

We talk about 

• Video editing tools, studio process, scheduling, etc.
• Nonprofit operation and special effects, enhancing creativity
• “Legend of Maul” one of his video projects  
• COVID allowed the introduction of ‘live sports’ and the ‘studio in a box’
• Multiple instances of live broadcast can happen with 3 YouTube channels; All Access, Education/Sports, and Government channels
• MIAA relationship developing show content, including playoff bracket release
• Broadcast of Thanksgiving football game from Fenway Park
• Scheduling studio space, community meetings, and coordination with outdoor sports (weather dependent) 
• Community meeting room getting busier with more regular us by local groups
• If interested in video production, share what you have produced, to further the conversation
• If interested in being part of your own show, we do have a fully functioning kitchen that works well for a cooking show
• Record some number of shows on a given day, edit, and broadcast over a 2-week time slot
• And last but not least, Chris’ backstory on how he got involved

If you are interested in doing a project in video or audio, contact the studio with your idea. [email protected]

The recording runs about 53 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Chris.
