The entertainment industry is embracing new technology on an unprecedented level – and viewers expect the highest quality picture and sound as part of the storytelling experience. In keeping with this development, production personnel with advanced skill sets are in high demand. The intensive 3DVP program is structured so that students work in small class sizes to get hands-on experience and up-close feedback from faculty. Students use state-of-the art, industry-relevant equipment and software to create a variety of short-format productions as they evolve their practices from 2D to 3D. Semester One covers all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production for 3D content creation. The differences between 2D and 3D are covered in courses that focus on location planning, single camera and multiple camera production, and editing. In addition, Pro Tools Surround Sound, from location recording to post-production mixing, is featured. Semester Two involves the creation of independent productions and the evolution of students’ video portfolios – with faculty consultation – to incorporate 3D content on a number of platforms.

Professionals with skills and experience in 3D production are increasingly in demand. Students of this intensive program advance their 2D production and post-production skills in preparation for a wide range of employment opportunities in 3D television, web production, mobile production – or a combination of all three. Graduates have the progressive experience the content creation industry requires.
