53-674 Digital Visual Image Making
9 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Image creation is currently undergoing a profound revolution owing to accelerating sophistication in both AI support and image editing for all images captured through any method digital or analogue. Digital Story and Image Making seeks to merge and leverage those new tools by collaborating with our students in creating humancentric story projects consisting of still images, moving images, or a combination of both. The Entertainment Technology Center seeks to forge a path where the technology and creativity of visual storytelling come together to deliver a 21st century visual narrative. Images, whether in still or moving form, center on the communication of deep stories that emotionally affect all humans. The class supports all types of visual storytellers by providing both the technology in the form of cameras loaned to students, software IR digital capture, the latest moving image technology, digital film scanning, and astral capture as well as artistic guidance all instructors are experienced filmmakers and image creators. Over the course of the semester each student will engage in a longform project which culminates in a personal portfolio of printed images or a short film as an expression of this innovative merger of art and technology.
