Our goalTo become the school’s go to production crew

for clubs, events, etc.

To give film students opportunity to create what they desire and share with their peers

To give non-film students a chance to have their story heard and to hear others

EquipmentCameras, boom mics and lights… oh my!

Cinematography is important, but so is image quality

Audio will make or break any production

Live streaming boxes are key to maintain relevance (BOD, S&A, possibly sporting events)

Expenses made now will pay for themselves in the future

UpkeepCorporate projects need to get done, but aren’t

creatively satisfying

Outside of class, students need incentives for non-creative work
