Where You Can Edit Your
Projects on Campus & Obtain Equipment
(••••• - Highest Rated Facility)
••••• MRC Equipment checkout - Get cameras for check out, and get to
work!
| The Media Resources Center is happy to
provide resources and support for contestants. There are just
a couple things we would like folks to keep in mind. Please be aware that the MRC has 3 videocameras to loan out to what is effectively the entire student, faculty and staff population at UNC - not just MiLife. We currently have reservations well into March, so if potential MiLife contestants want a videocamera from MRC, they should act fast. Folks that want to use our digital still cameras have more leeway - reservations for these cameras only go into the beginning of February. As always, anyone with an ONYEN can edit their material in the digital media lab in MRC, but please make MiLife contestants aware that, while it seems like we have a lot of space for people to store their work, there are a lot of people that use that same space. Several people working on video projects, will fill up our hard drives very quickly. |
