Attention
Rogue Valley
Family!
We are building a “LIVE TV STUDIO”
in the Lounge at the Armory!
Announcing:
The Catapult Project!
“Designing the Ultimate Creative Incubator.”
An interactive, community-powered design experiment: Building the Launchpad.
We’re calling on the whole community to participate: all hands on deck to build this creative catapult! The entire project will be digitally documented as our first community design challenge.
Our mission: create a state-of-the-art facility designed to catapult creative projects to the next level! A place where we can flip the switches and let the magic happen, capturing special creative moments in their purest form, whenever the inspiration strikes!
You will witness the birth of our supreme dream production studios with all the bells and whistles! And you can participate!
It all starts with our “Local Showcase Series,” spotlighting incredible talent from right here in our community.
We are using the process of producing the first 12 of our pilot live concert recording sessions to set up and beta-test our new gadgets and gear for the new Launchpad Lounge.
This will involve recording quality captures of the live music sessions, editing them into different forms of video content: music videos, artist bios, interviews, full concerts…
Our focus: showcasing original art while telling authentic stories. The Pilot Series is our launchpad for creating the ultimate “Catapult Package” for musicians.
Think “before and after”. “They came to us like this…And then…they left with ALL of THIS!…”
This series will also launch a brand-new media network devoted to music, art, and cultural creatives — all while highlighting the best of the Rogue Valley. Think classic MTV Studios… but with a mission to uplift our region and power the next wave of creative culture. We’ll have weekly news shows, artist spotlights, live streaming concerts, variety shows, and so much more are on the way!
And YOU can help us build the Launchpad — just by coming to the shows! Join us as a live studio audience member and become part of the birth of a new era media making at the Armory.
Even More Exciting…
It is great honor to announce…The Rogue Media Academy!
The Catapult Project is the first design challenge that will establish Rogue Media Academy—a mentor-guided apprenticeship program where students are immersed in every aspect of music, media, and entertainment production — gaining hands-on skills by working inside the most magical industry on Earth: live music and broadcast television!
A school where the sciences empower the arts, and creativity is the curriculum.
The audience will track the formation and evolution of a new type of school of arts and sciences that focuses on hand-on learning by creating things in the real world!
Design Objectives:
Design and equip the studio
Develop our pilots & Production systems
Establish the Academy
In summary: we’re here to catapult creative visions and train the next generation of production wizards — all at the same time. Wonderful! Here’s How you can participate:
The catapult project - Like a “kick-starter” design challenge.
