Television Production Class

Studio Producer's Class

This class covers pre-production planning, scriptwriting, storyboarding, budgeting requirements, shooting locations, equipment needs, cast and crew requirements, working with volunteers, and underwriting tips. Even if you are a seasoned producer, it is important that you take this workshop, as we cover CMAP specific paperwork needed to get your show on the road to an airdate.

CMAP recommends interested producers to find a group of volunteers to take this class. Producing a successful studio show often requires a committed team. Contact james@cmap.tv to enroll in the Studio Producer's Class.
