New 3D Animation Software!
The Academy’s Professional Graphics Studio class will be among the first in the country to be teaching 3D Modeling & Animation with a complete Motion Capture system. This cutting edge technology will allow students to learn and practice the skills animators use in developing gaming characters and animated feature films...such as the latest epic film "Avatar." Area professionals from gaming and digital media companies are assisting with the installation and training on this software and will be visiting the class regularly for mentoring and support. There are still a few seats available in this class for the 2009-2010 school year -- See your counselor for details!
Our Ambassadors have been busy writing about their class experiences and field trips.
Both Professional Graphics Studio and Professional TV Studio scheduled their Fall fieldtrips on December 3rd to DC. Professional Graphic Studio was invited to visit Interface Media Group with the sponsorship of David Flood, Interface Media Creative Director. Students toured the facility to view cutting edge technology in producing graphics and video for TV programming and web content.
Professional TV students visited the Government Video Expo at the Convention Center and then traveled to the Newseum for a class on reporting Ethics and touring the museum's exhibits. The image below shows a piece of the Berlin Wall on exhibit......." the artwork on it was astonishing" commented by students.
Parents & Students are invited to meet with teachers and visit classrooms!
