Digital Filmmaking
Facilities
Overview
The Digital Filmmaking department at CDIA features several editing rooms with post-production software, overhead projectors, High-Definition televisions, and DVD players. Our hardware includes Macintosh G5s and MacPro with Apple Cinema Displays, each configured with the latest versions of Avid, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Final Draft, and Photoshop. Our cameras include standard def and high-definition cameras like the Panasonic DVX100b, the HVX200 and the Canon HX A1 combined with fluid head tripods made by Sachtler, Cartoni, and Miller. Students have access to best-in-class lighting gear from Arri, Lowel, and Kino as well as shotgun and Lavalier (wireless) microphones by Sennheiser and Audiotechnica and the popular Matthews Door Dolly. Our ultimate goal is to combine the best camera, lighting, and grip equipment with professional instructors that know and use the latest technologies to create the best possible educational experience for our students.
