Undergraduate Program | T452:Topical Seminar in Design & Production

T452 Topical Seminar in Design and Production: 3D Production Workshop
Topic: 3D Storytelling (Spring 2011)

* Instructor: Chris Eller
* Supervisor: Susan Kelly
* Syllabus (link to PDF)

The 3D Storytelling class was first developed and taught for the Fall 2010 semester then polished for the Spring 2011 semester. The class works in groups, small production companies, to develop and shoot six productions in full high-definition stereoscopic 3D. The students learn the history of stereoscopic cinema and how to develop material for a 3D production. The productions are watched and critiqued in class so improvements can be made in time for a screening in the state of the art IU Cinema at the end of the semester.

This prepares students to develop their own 3D productions as well as apply for jobs in the industry to work on 3D projects with other professionals. We are able to offer this class through the support of the Indiana University Advanced Visualization Lab (http://pti.iu.edu/avl), developers of the 3D rig that the class uses.
