Strange Lights Spotted at FC Public Media!

These ethereal lights beam down not from a starship, but from the new Barbizon LED lighting system in the main studio. This state-of-the-art technology boldly explores new worlds in video and filmmaking.

Is LED lighting alien to you? We got you! We’ll hold classes so you can operate the system with serenity and send your productions into hyper-drive.

Not a member? Join now so you won’t miss a nano-second of classes and other fun member experiences at FC Public Media.

Thanks to our tech team, Bryan McIntyre, Chris Winslow, and Carson Hamlin for installing these fantastic lights.
