AM & PM Video Production classes recently visited Universal Studios.
"I wanted the students to see how the techniques and equipment they’ve been learning about all year were used in the creation of movies, as well as to have the opportunity to explore career fields, in the exciting world of arts and entertainment." - Lisa Krch, Instructor
Universal Studios Hollywood offers a program where the students go “behind the scenes” of the Waterworld show. They were able to watch a run through of the tremendously popular program, visit the sound/audio booth, meet the crew, and view the costumes, mic testing, and pyrotechnics and stunt safety procedures during rehearsal.
The Video Production students worked hard to raise money for the trip through a ROC campuswide recycling program and a Banana Split fundraiser. They also received generous donations from Kern Schools Federal Credit Union, the Kern Taxpayers Association, the Eyewitness News, Mor Furniture for Less “One Classroom at a Time” grant, and Bakersfield East Rotary to make this unforgettable “lesson” a reality.

Video Production Students Tackle Virtual Enterprise with Several Projects

The Video Production class at the Regional Occupational Center (ROC) was recently contacted by representatives from Chevron. The company was looking for technical assistance and asked students to create a video to feature in their booth during the upcoming Career Expo at Rabobank Convention Center. The video would display photos of various local community service projects and Chevron employees giving back to the community. ROC student Luis De Los Angeles took on the assignment and produced and edited an excellent promotional video.
“It was an experience like no other and gave me an opportunity to feel what it is like to work with a worldwide company.” - Luis De Los Angeles, Video Production Student, ROC
The Regional Occupational Center appreciates our community and corporate partnerships and looks forward to assisting where we can, as we offer opportunities and real-world career experiences for our students.

Collaboration across the Kern High School District (KHSD) and the state! The KHSD Department of Instruction asked the Video Production program at the Regional Occupational Center to help them with a special project. The department was working in collaboration with the California Department of Education, U. C. Davis, and social studies teachers across Kern County for professional development and program framework opportunities. Students spent two days on location shooting interviews and b-roll for the project.
“Going down to the Kern High School District Office was different and really cool. I didn’t know teachers learned different ways to teach and connect with students. The experience was awesome and I’d love to do it again!” - Collin Koch, Video Production Student, ROC
Many teachers complimented the students on their professional demeanor, use of equipment, and interviewing skills. The students gathered the footage, logged the b-roll, and sent it up to Sacramento to be edited by the California Department of Education. The project will appear on the CDE website very soon.
