Film workshops provide instruction in specific areas of film and related audiovisual practices that benefit from focused and intensive study. 270 level workshops are appropriate for all students with an interest in film, and are designed to accommodate beginners and intermediate-level students. 370 workshops are intended for more advanced students, and are intended to follow other courses in the film program.This studio class will explore immersive digital media systems, virtual reality, Spherical and 360 environments. What does it mean to create and enter an immersive environment as a spectator or a participant? What are the differences and similarities of these related systems? As we try to define some of these catchall (yet to be defined) varied immersive 360, spherical and Virtual Reality environments, we will experiment and create our own works. As these new technologies emerge becoming increasingly more accepted, the tools, systems and workflow required to create these works, are also transforming. Discussions will include historical and current context, ethical and aesthetic concerns. With a film media-based emphasis, we will experiment and explore new platforms and tools currently available to artists. We will work collaboratively and individually to create immersive video/film environments using these new forms of media to engage and envelope a viewer.
