Introducing the i3 Detroit Podcasting Studio

It has been a long work in progress but the i3 Detroit Podcasting Studio is finally up and running.  It is a professional set-up with 4 stations, streaming capabilities, skype & 2 track digital recording.  Please swing by i3 Detroit and check it out.  We are encouraging local podcasts to come and utilize the facilities to make their podcasts better or to get a change of pace.  If you have any questions about the set-up, send a note to nbritsky@i3detroit.com.

Followup: DIY Filmmaker Meetup

Last Thursday’s Filmmaker Meetup was a big success. We had lots of people show up to meet their peers and share their work. Many ideas were generated for future events.

Thanks to Madebydetroit and Silver Bullet Pictures for all their help.

Check out the work of some of the participants:

Lock picking for Fun Saturday evening with Pumping Station:One

psoneSo what are you planning on doing this Saturday? Well you are coming out to i3 Detroit to hang out with the members from Chicago’s very own Pumping Station: One. A crew of approx. 8 members from Pumping Station: One are heading out this Saturday to spend a day and evening with everyone at i3 Detroit. Their very own Eric Michaud will be teaching a class on lock picking for fun from 8pm-10pm this coming Saturday. If you are interested in taking the class please sign up on the i3 Detroit websites class page. Also if you just want to come and hang out with the members from i3 Detroit and the great people from Pumping Station: One you are welcome to do that as well. If you have a project that you want to work on in the space bring it, if you want to hang out a chat or bounce ideas around that is ok too.

We hope to see everyone come out and meet the crew from Pumping Station: One or maybe you have not been to i3 Detroit yet and have been wanting to check it out. This would be a great weekend to do this. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

New twitter based open messaging system!

We have had a lot of people interested in knowing when there are members in the space so guests know when they can come out and play. So a few of the members have put together a new switch system in the space that we use to turn on the open sign for example. When this happens this will post a message on our twitter feed to let you know if we are open or closed for guests. So if you are interested in knowing when people are there so you can come by and play be sure to follow our twitter feed.

We are still working on a few new features that will be turning on & off a open or closed sign on our website to also let people know that we are open and you are welcome to come hang out or play. Along with the open & closed sign we will be placing an image from the camera on our website as well for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to check back soon to see the new system and features in place.
