Facilities
Film students are in a unique position, as they have access to excellent post-production software and rooms for productions and meetings.
The undergraduate Film Department offers ample classroom space, two Macintosh computer labs, and two surround-sound screening rooms for film studies courses. Classrooms used exclusively by the Film Department are equipped with state-of-the-art audio/video technology. Professors screen films from DVDs and BluRay discs using Crestron Smart Podiums that allow for a rich technologically based learning environment.
The department offers two Macintosh Editing labs that are open Monday–Thursday, 9.a.m.–8 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m.–6 p.m. The labs offer the latest post-production software and access to the state-of-the-art AVID Server for fast workflows and protected files.
