Produce - Community Television for the Southern Berkshires

Produce

CTSB is here to facilitate, encourage, and promote community involvement in the production of locally originated, non-commercial television and other media. Our facilities and equipment are available to use for all members; get in touch to share your ideas and let us know what you need!

Facilities

Our state of the art sound stage is available to accommodate your live performances, from music, to drama, to talk shows, or anything else.

Need to insert a different background in your production? Use our green screen to replace it with anything you like.

Whether you’re a beginner or are more advanced, our classes will help you sharpen your skills.

Make use of our edit bays to slice, dice, and recombine your video and audio to assemble the perfect final production.

Gear

Canon XA45 Camera
These professional 4K camcorders will replace our 2 older model Canon Vixias. The features are similar, so many of you who are already familiar with the Vixia will find these easy to use. Each camera is equipped with a Vidpro shotgun mic.

DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo
This 4K camera is small, portable, and ideal for shooting handheld. Equipped with a 3-axis gimbal and motion tracking, it ensures smooth shots when on the go. This kit comes with a wireless mic that connects to the camera via bluetooth, you can also wirelessly connect your phone to use as a larger viewfinder.Tutorials

GoPro Hero 8 Black
Another great portable camera, the GoPro Hero 8 can shoot at 4K up to 60fps, is very durable, and waterproof up to 33ft. Tutorials

We’ve got 3 of these Sony wired lavaliers to supplement our 2 wireless lavalier kits, which, while useful, can be cumbersome to use in some field productions.
