4-H Video Camp a Success

Rutherford County 4-H Network News' first ever video camp concluded yesterday with a private movie screening for the participants' family and friends. We all had a great time visiting and watching the four video stories that the 4-H'ers created. Below is one story about cats that are available for adoption at the local animal shelter.

Tennessee's 4-H Technology Camp was held earlier this month at Camp Ridley in Columbia, Tennessee. Campers learned how to use various types of new technology throughout the week. To highlight how technology can be used at an advanced level, the 4-H'ers were treated to a special event.

Two US Army Apache helicopters landed on the camp's athletic fields. The pilots talked to all the 4-H members about the different computer systems that are used for the operations of the aircraft.

Watch and listen as reporter Rachel Lee interviews Chief Warrant Officer IV Dale Miller about his Longbow Helicopter.

Week One of Video Camp a Success

Rutherford County 4-H Network News completed its first week of Video Camp Thursday by filming at the local animal shelter. Nine 4-H members ranging from the fourth to the seventh grade have learned several new things throughout the first week. Topics covered during the first ever video camp included: What makes a good story?, Script Writing, Creating a Story Board, and Basic Filming Techniques.

Members of video camp decided to create two different stories about the local animal shelter. One group will make a video highlighting a puppy and a kitten that are available for adoption. The other 4-H'ers are making a movie to show people how to become a volunteer at the shelter.

During week two of Video Camp, our team will learn how to edit their film footage as well as publish it to the Internet for the world to view! If you are interested in joining RC 4-H Network News, contact our agent Mr. Michael at 615-898-7710.
