 What it means to be a PhillyCAM Member:

PhillyCAM is like a second family to me. I enjoy interacting with the members and learning new skills with the help of the staff. When I first arrived at PhillyCAM I had absolutely no knowledge about using cameras.  I enrolled in the Field Production class and after completion my confidence soared so high...I now believe that I can pick-up any camera and operated it.  In addition, I have completed seven other classes that has helped me successfully produce "The Chellerina Show."

I read the entire website including the handbook. I then called the stranger I had met earlier that day and told her all about P-CAM to the point that she got excited also. I registered for membership online and attended orientation along with three other people I invited. The stranger "(Muffin)" also attended and is now a thriving member producing her own show at PhillyCAM.
