BFA Moving Image
The Moving Image concentration focuses on creative and alternate approaches to both experimental and documentary forms of filmmaking. The program includes production courses, seminars, and independent study in film, video and digital animation. Video courses encourage the use of electronic media as a tool for personal expression. Animation is considered in the broadest sense of single-frame motion design, synthesizing multiple approaches and techniques. Screenings of work by nationally and internationally recognized artists introduce students to a wide variety of formal and conceptual concerns. On the introductory level, basic production and editing skills are emphasized, while advanced students are encouraged to deepen their experience through directed projects.
