Paul Goulding, who teaches the Digital Video Production class at the Florida Panhandle Technical College in Chipley, was the guest speaker at Tuesday’s meeting of the Chipley Kiwanis Club and brought club members up to date on the cutting edge technology being taught at the college.
The program is designed to prepare students for initial employment as production assistants, audio/video equipment technicians, video/TV camera operators, video editors, multi-media artists/ animators and broadcast technicians. Students get hands-on training in the latest techniques for digital videography, including professional video camera operation, on- and off-line editing, scripting, lighting, field/studio production, and video editing.
Goulding, who has been working at FPTC for six years, said the expanding classes give students more opportunity to train for specific jobs in a variety of areas and pointed out that there is a huge need for people in all areas of the construction trades, law enforcement, EMS, and fire services.
