Digital Photography
(July 7 - 18)

You'll create eye-catching photographs on your very first day at the digital photography summer program. This two-week immersion in digital photography will teach you everything, from digital camera operation and image composition to image manipulation with Adobe Photoshop CS3 and printing on high-end inkjet printers. Daily activities will include demonstrations, field trips, and instructor-led activities, using the latest digital imaging equipment.

Audio Production
(July 7 - 18)

In this two-week program, you'll learn how to record and produce a professional music CD. Working in our fully outfitted, digital music studio, you'll perform each step of the record production process. From pre-production through final mixdown and mastering, you'll see how they all come together to create music. We'll also take a peek inside the business of music, with a look at business practices like copyrights, contracts, licensing, and fees.

Digital Filmmaking
(July 21 - August 1)

Explore the exciting field of digital filmmaking in this hands-on, two-week summer program that combines the craft of traditional storytelling with the latest production techniques. You'll learn how to use digital camera and sound equipment, as well as Apple's Final Cut Pro postproduction software. Combining your creativity with your personal experiences, you'll tell a story on film, as your film crew conceives, plans, shoots, and edits a short digital film. On the last day of the institute we'll screen the finished projects for your friends and family. You don't need any previous filmmaking experience - but a passion for storytelling through sound and images is a must.

Digital Animation
(August 4 - 15)

Learn how to successfully animate a three-dimensional character. Working with Academy Award-winning Maya software for 3D modeling, animation, and digital effects, you'll create bipedal characters and creatures just like those found in feature films and video games. During the two-week program, you'll learn the fundamentals of digital animation in Maya, including the Maya interface, modeling, texture mapping, animation and effects, and lighting and rendering.
