Herbert Media
Herbert Media is the museum's in-house media service. It manages recording studios, video editing rooms and training rooms, and produces much of the audio and visual sequences for the museum's exhibitions and permanent displays. It also coordinates "community response" films to exhibitions within the gallery as a way of further connecting art to the community.
Herbert Media also specialises in making films and interactive materials for other museums and art galleries, and the service was rewarded for its high standard of work in the 2009 Godiva Awards, winning the Innovation in Business Practice category.
The facilities available at The Herbert include a large hireable exhibition space, The Studio, which is frequently used by the public and organisations. There is also a New Media Suite, with modern IT facilities, the Herbert Media recording studio (which comprises live and control rooms) and a MIDI Suite. Further Herbert Media facilities include Standard Definition and High Definition video editing suites, a corporate training room, and an arts information centre with additional resources and a reference library.

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or media:
“The harbingers are come. See, see their mark:
White is their color, and behold my head.
But must they have my brain? Must they dispark
Those sparkling notions, which therein were bred?
Must dullness turn me to a clod?
Yet have they left me, Thou art still my God.”
—George Herbert (15931633)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the socalled educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon ones ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the educational system are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
