Obtaining a Video Camera for your Course

There are three options available at the Institute for obtaining video cameras.

1) The University Information Technology Services have cameras available for rental, in ATLAS 301. Contact Tessa.Brown at colorado.edu ahead of time. They have 15-20 cameras, all with flash memory only.

2) The Communications Department also rents out cameras if they are not in use by the Department. They are in the TAC (Media) Center in the basement of Hellems Building. Most of their cameras are flash memory only, but at least a couple use miniDV film.

3) There are also three cameras that can be borrowed from the Linguistics Department if available: one in the Linguistics Main Office in Hellems 290, one belonging to the sociolinguistics lab (Hellems 285), and one belonging to the Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages (contact Andy Cowell, cowellj at colorado.edu). Ongoing CU student projects and research have first priority claim on these cameras.

Computers in campus labs normally have basic editing software (Windows Moviemaker, iMovie).
