Continuing Education and Workshops for Professionals

(San Jose, CA) - International Technological University (ITU) announced today the launch of the 2012 Digital Media Production Workshops, a series of practical and creative seminars hosted by renowned professionals from the digital media industry. These San Jose digital arts workshops start July 28, 2012 at the ITU campus downtown.

The workshop courses will cover a diverse range of digital media disciplines including concept art & storyboarding, cinematic space design, real-time digital cinema production and multi-media app development. Through these thought-provoking, project-oriented workshops, attendees will learn fundamental techniques, relevant creative designs and the limitless potential of the digital arts.

�The future of digital media is being created in Silicon Valley,� states Cedrick Chan, Department Chair of Digital Arts and Vice President of Digital Media for ITU. �Not only is there an increasing demand for digital artists, the future of digital media relies on innovative and creative storytellers. Through these specialized ITU Digital Media Workshops, attendees will get hands-on training, incorporate new technologies and learn new storytelling methods relevant to the future of digital media.�

ITU�s 2012 Digital Media Production Workshops will be conducted over three, 2-day weekends. On July 28-29, the first Digital Media Production workshop - Cinematic Art & Design - will cover this critical phase of cinematic design and pre-production.

On August 4-5, the Real-Time Cinema workshop will teach students how to apply the latest real-time technology to light and composite elements seamlessly in cinematic scenes. On August 11-12, the third and final workshop � Digital Media Post-Production � will integrate all the knowledge and media assets from the previous workshops into an innovative mobile media app for the world to experience.

Digital art specialists will teach each workshop by sharing their unique industry experiences in an integrated, multi-discipline process that will offer glimpses at the future of digital media productions. Attendees who successfully complete each of the Digital Media Production Workshop courses will receive 1 unit per weekend course (for a total of 3 units over 3 weekends), that can be applied toward a full Digital Arts graduate degree at ITU.
