This course is a hands-on workshop which offers a graduate level foundation in digital media production. Image acquisition, creation and editing; video editing and encoding; simple HTML and Flash are technologies and delivery platforms explored through short conceptual exercises. The curriculum in this class emphasizes problem solving and an integrated and creative approach to digital media production. It is designed to give students a basic introduction to begin working fluidly across the tools and techniques used in the Integrated Media Graduate program. Each student will be expected to grow from his or her starting level; therefore students familiar with some tools will be expected to develop in areas related design and/or programming. Attendance at several intermedia related arts events will be required, and students must own at least a 128 MB pen drive. The book Digital Art by Christiane Paul is required reading, and can be purchased at the bookstore or online. This course may be counted towards the VISIONS or CHANNELS cluster requirement.
