Media Production in October

  • • 29 hours of consultations with faculty and staff in Dyson, College of Health Professions, Haub Law, ELI, and the School of Education.
  • • 12 videos produced; 2 additional edited cuts (245 minutes total).

Updates and Highlights

We recently hosted a webinar on “Creating Dynamic Video Presentations with Canva” (watch the session here) with over 30 attendees. There seems to be a lot of interest in using tools like Canva. Thanks to Nan Solomons (Health Informatics) for joining us and talking about our collaboration.

So, what’s happening in November? This is a busy time of the year! Here are some current and upcoming productions:

  • – We are supporting the production of a multi-episode podcast for Brian Jones’ Writing for Diversity in Theater and Media grant.
  • – Sands College “Spotlight”: This is the second year the OLC supported the production of the Senior Spotlight videos. This year, it is a weekend-long production, from Thursday through Monday in early December.
  • – We continued production for the Health Informatics program, continuing weekly videos for HINF 610, using audio voiceovers with custom graphics and Canva animations.
  • – OLC staff assist other Pace staff in developing and creating promotional videos. We are currently working on projects in Dyson (Dean’s Office and Biology), Haub (Development team in PLV), School of Education, HEASA, Continuing Ed, and the English Language Institute.
  • – We are in preproduction for a Lubin (PLV) “Elevator Pitch” video project in collaboration with Jim Davis. Shooting starts in November.
  • – We will work with Haub professor Jill Gross to begin developing video materials for law courses. Shooting starts in December.
  • Production Tip of the month: Adobe Express (an online application and part of Adobe Creative Cloud) is an online presentation/video-making software similar to Canva. Stock (free-to-use) graphics and easy-to-use animation tools help turn presentations into eye-catching videos.
