What We Do: The Video Producers Club

The Video Producers Club serves the entire Leisure World community.  We produce video, a medium accepted and admired as having broad based entertainment and education value. We produce a live-to-tape television show in the studios of SBTV3 each month. This show, Inside Leisure World, is broadcast on SBTV3 fifteen or more times each month. Over one hundred and fifty eight episodes of Inside Leisure World have been produced to date. The broadcast covers a wide range of topics of interest to the Leisure World community. It reports on the activities of other clubs, announcing upcoming events. The show also reports on subjects like safety and emergency preparedness with past guests including people from Leisure World's administration and the security department to name only two.

SBTV3 in-studio production is only a small part of the Club's efforts. The members tape the monthly health lectures at Leisure World. It also produces other videos outside of the studio setting, in the Leisure World community and in the community at large.  The members shoot and edit videos of dances, parades, car shows, band performances and other entertainments. The members video trips, cruises, foreign travel and other places and things of public interest, such as the community disaster drills. They video individual community members who might have something of interest and value to say to the wider community, including writers, astronomers, singers, and dancers. These videos are broadcast on SBTV3 and the Super Wire channel.  Among other uses and benefits  this service allows residents to see themselves at the events and re-live their experience. It allows residents to see the event even if they were not able to attend for some reason. And finally it serves to provide valuable continued contact with the community by allowing residents to see the event, and thereby be part of it, even when they are no longer able to attend events at all.

The club provides the lion share of broadcast material for SBTV3. But we are not doing them a favor by providing this content. They are helping us by providing a means for us to project our image of a lively, engaged, active and vibrant senior community to the residents of Seal Beach and Leisure World. We thrive in this mutually beneficial arrangement.

If your club suffers from lack of attention we can help with that. We'll get the word out. Let's make a video.
