The
Academy of Digital & Media Arts program is based upon developing
each student's artistic creativity in electronic communications. Media
students create productions using computers, video and film cameras,
editors, and a studio. Students learn the basic elements of video, film,
and audio production and become familiar with computer applications
progressing into advanced 3-D graphics, animation, multimedia, and
cinema production. Students learn in a state of the art multimedia
facility containing professional cameras, computers, editors, software,
and CD-ROM authoring equipment and software. By graduation, media
students will have a portfolio including audio, video, film, and graphic
samples of their work, as well as the training and experience necessary
to enter an advanced media arts program or to embark upon a career in
media arts.
