Columbia Access Television and The Paperclips

The Paperclips is a band but more about them later. First I want to talk about Columbia Access Television or CAT for short.

CAT is a place where you cannot only support real homegrown community television but participate in running the camera, directing, or even producing in a real studio with professional equipment.  Membership is a pittance at $35 a year and classes are hands on and equally affordable.  There are also lots of volunteer opportunities.

I was at the studio this weekend during a shoot with an excellent band from Kansas City called the Paperclips.  The band was in town for a performance that evening and spent the afternoon at CAT doing a live show.  The whole experience was outstanding.  So, without further ado here are the pictures of the band, a short video clip (which does NOT do them justice) that were all taken during the actual production itself.  Sort of the "making of ..." genre.

The calm before the storm.

Now some images with the camera people working.

























The session is over and the band moves over for the interview.

Here is a video for you of the band compliments of YouTube:
