About Us
For students who want a broad introduction to the media the program teaches, Intro to Motion Pictures and TV (MPTV 1011) is the place to start. Using hands-on projects, students learn about animation, audio, TV and digital film. For more advanced students who are unsure about which specialization to pursue, and still want to take classes with a broad approach, Editing (MPTV 1020) or Audio (MPTV 1022) would be ideal.
Film/Video
A student who dreams of working in movies should start with the Film/Video degree, and will be well-prepared to work on several types of single-camera production. First-time students seeking this degree should start with Film/Video Aesthetics (MPTV 1111) and Film/Video History (MPTV 1113), as well as the Intro class. Advanced students should take Pre-Production (MPTV 2031, emphasis on film), Film/Video Directing (MPTV 2133), and Film/Video Production (MPTV 2131). Click here for course descriptions.
Television
Of course, students who dream of working in TV should begin with our Television degree, but this degree is also the place to start for documentary or any type of live, multi-camera production. First-time students seeking this degree should start with the Intro class and Introduction to Animation (MPTV 1311). Advanced students should continue with Documentary (MPTV 2233), Photojournalism (MPTV 2231) and Pre-Production (MPTV 2031, emphasis on TV). Click here for course descriptions.
Animation/Motion Graphics
The Animation degree is a cross-disciplinary effort between several programs at COD, including MPTV. Starting with the basics of drawing and cartooning and continuing on to the advanced techniques of 3-D computer modeling, compositing and animating, the degree is designed to help prepare students interested in animation or motion graphics for gaming, film, or TV.
