Right from the beginning, you’ll be using industry standard equipment and editing software in studios that have been designed by professionals. Students will choose from two separate concentrations: The “Live and Recorded Video Concentration” will focus on creation of live productions and video recording and editing. The “Animation and Motion Video Concentration” will focus on animations, frame-based videos, and video games.
A Message from a Creatio Partner
Those of us at Vossler Media Group are incredibly excited about the Video Production program at Northwest University. Over the last few years we have hired several graduates from their audio programs and have been very impressed at their ability to contribute at a high-level right from their first day on the job. Perhaps most impressive has been their familiarity with the professional tools and techniques that our own audio experts use on a regular basis. And now, with the introduction of this new Video Production program, we are looking forward to seeing the same level of excellence as we hire video producers, cinematographers, or film editors for our studio.
