Video Production Equipment
Film & Media Studies production courses utilize Sony digital video cameras. Our tapeless Sony NEX-VG10's offer both our advanced and our beginning level students cutting edge technology. Independent study students have access to our most advanced camera package, the Sony NEX-FS100. Students must first take TDF 160, Introduction to Video Production, before they are eligible to use upper-level equipment.
The department also has an array of professional production ancillary equipment - Manfrotto tripods, Fig Rig handheld devices, Fostex audio recorders, Sennheiser shotgun microphones, Sony wireless mic systems, and Lowel lighting packages (featuring Omnis, Tota-Lights, and Pro-Lights). All that a student needs to create a polished and professional video project is available for check-out in our equipment room.
