LOCATION
We’re located in the City of Laguna Woods in South Orange County, California near the El Toro exit of the 5 Freeway. You’ll find us off Moulton Parkway, which crosses El Toro Road. We’re inside Gate 12 between Clubhouse 2 and the Pool. We have two facilities, a Lab and a Studio.
VIDEO LAB
In the Video Lab, we provide computer work stations and media-capture equipment, as well as offering programs, classes, and meetings. Both Windows and Macintosh computers are available with video-related software for members and residents to use.
Within the Video Lab — in the Marvin Green Memorial Capture Center — Lab Supervisors help residents and members convert vintage media (slides, printed photos, VHS and cassette tapes, 8mm and Super 8 films, and more) to modern digital formats. We also lend consumer camcorders and related equipment for video projects (no charge, but deposit required).
TOM NASH STUDIO
In the Tom Nash Studio — the equivalent of a small television station — we use camcorders, audio equipment, lights, green screen and conventional sets, and a control room/classroom to produce video projects. These include studio and location shooting of several monthly TV shows (aired in our community) and our original Short Dramatic Film series. All members are invited to join us — to learn and create videos!
The Video Lab is open Tuesday-Friday, 1-4 pm.
The Tom Nash Studio is open by appointment. For an appointment to use the Nash Studio, contact David Wells, 714-329-2575, davidwsoftw@hotmail.com or email email videocluboflagunawoods@gmail.com.,
