Video & Audio Production

The R&ID team helps students gain skills in video and audio production, which are organized in the following three stages.

First, students undergo pre-production during which they plan their projects by storyboarding, writing scripts, choosing locations for production, and anticipating necessary tools.
Production then involves filming video and/or recording audio using equipment.
Finally, students utilize various software platforms during post-production to edit video and audio content to then produce a final product.

Of Interest

Explore some projects, articles, and other sites related to video and audio production that have piqued the interest of the R&ID team.

Everything is Alive

Everything is Alive is a podcast unlike anything you’ve ever heard. It’s an interview show in which all the guests are inanimate objects. In each episode, producer and host Ian Chillag talks with a different “thing” about its life story. Besides the fact that the objects can speak, everything they say about their world is true.
