Signal Shares are a (virtual) space for Open Signal members to connect.
Building on our monthly member meetups, Signal Shares are a (virtual) space for Open Signal members to connect! Each month, we gather with Open Signal staff, producers, supporters and special guests to catch up and share what we've been up to. All are welcome!
This month, join us as Open Signal staff Vo McBurney and David Koesters facilitate, sharing creative projects from Open Signal staff.
Thursday
6:00pm – 7:30pm
I provide technical assistance to producers, monitor and schedule the Open Signal channels, and ensure your shows air properly.
Ask for me when you need help uploading a show, have questions in the studio or about the equipment, or anything regarding distribution or media services. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to connect you with someone that does.
My background includes broadcasting, the military and law. I also make cartoons; animation is my outlet and refuge.
One of the first smiling faces that you will be greeted by when coming through the front doors, I can help you with everything from reserving your gear needs to answering (and solving) your HD studio questions.
I currently teach the Final Cut Pro X Editing, HD Studio and Mac Basics courses but am proficient in most of the gear that we have in our equipment library. I enjoy competing in as many film fests as possible and sing some mean karaoke.
