The talent and technical pool for the new technologies, however, lags in terms of a formal, studied approach to applying digital means in fresh and creative ways. The Digital Filmmaking program at the School of Communication Arts is as forward thinking today as the School's original work in "High-End" computer animation.
With a larger "toolkit",
the program moves from the classroom to the studio and on location.
The knowledge base of the successful graduate from the program includes,
but is not limited to practicing…
+ the role of Director of Photography and the production crew + dolly,
jib arm & grip techniques + lighting & the role of the Art Director
+ color control and maintaining the electronic signal + audio mixing
techniques plus mixing, foley and compression + Internet video &
audio streaming strategies + non-linear editing utilizing Final Cut
Pro plus dedicated audio editing and mixing software.
To add more to the above … the study of film design and producing… and the program becomes a personal challenge to absorb, learn and perform the emerging role of the HD Digital Filmmaker.
