Free Consumer Equipment Loans
Although our members do many shoots in and for the community, we also focus on helping residents learn to create videos themselves.
Residents and clubs wanting to record their events, interviews, or other subjects are invited to take advantage of our free Consumer Equipment Loan Program (see video below). We lend consumer-level, high-definition camcorders and fluid-head video tripods, and some audio-recording equipment to both members and non-member residents without charge. Basic operational instructions are provided for these short-term loans, and a refundable deposit covering the cost of the equipment is required.
Consumer equipment loans are made and checked in at the Video Lab open Tuesday through Friday, 1-4 pm (or by special arrangement). An April, 2018, blog post on this website explains the loan system in more detail; however, the restriction limiting equipment loan-making to Wednesdays and Thursdays no longer applies.
Video editing services are not included, but we invite anyone borrowing equipment to take take the next step into video creation by enrolling in one of our video editing classes. We also offer classes on shooting, editing, and sharing videos using smartphones.
It’s never been easier to “get into video” than it is today!
Borrow a camcorder and find out! To learn more, visit the Video Lab, open Tuesday-Friday from 1-4 p.m., 949-470-0965.
Still need help?
Residents and clubs seeking video services from our Video One Productions team may contact club President Jonathan Williams at Jonathan-Images@outlook.com to to discuss their needs. Jonathan is temporarily serving as our Outside Video Coordinator .
If the Video Club team cannot produce the requested video — and if the residents are unable to make the video themselves through our Camcorder Loan Program — we can provide referrals to professional videography resources, including the team at Village Television.
