Evolution of video

AUBURN - From affordable handheld video cameras to computer-based editing systems, the medium of movie making took a major turn when video was first introduced some 40 years ago.

At the forefront of that revolution were people such as Emmy Award-winning producer and filmmaker, Skip Blumberg, of New York City. Blumberg kicked off the fifth year of “Making Movies: A Contemporary Film and Video Series” sponsored by the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center and hosted at Cayuga Community College on Thursday night.

Terry Cuddy, coordinator of the series, was impressed with both the longevity of the series that has attracted both young filmmakers and those simply interested in the medium to attend and the caliber of artists it has attracted, including Blumberg.
