Aspiring videographers from the Plainfield Academy for the Arts and Advanced Studies manned the camera Monday and last Thursday to record City Council budget talks.
On Thursday, Isaiah Mackson and Moneta Kai-Price, both 14, videotaped the session at the Senior Center and on Monday, Ivory Fennell, 13, set up in City Hall Library to record the council deliberations.
Lamar Mackson, chairman of the Plainfield Cable Television Advisory Board, said the young people were doing the work as part of a studio class led by teacher Chris Paskewich. The tapes will be broadcast on local television channels 96 and 34.
The students not only honed their skills, they saved the city $100 per hour in videography costs.

This is a great idea. A tag-team of adult volunteers and older and younger students should be able to get most every regularly scheduled meeting or event covered. There would be no need for $100/hr expenses, and Lamar wouldn't have to go to every meeting. Good work! I look forward to seeing it on TV, but please, improve the audio.
