Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to your article titled, “Film Classes Are Struggling At NECC.”
While it is true that we have faculty, but not equipment to run a film class, we do in fact have the faculty and the equipment to run video, film-based still photography, studio lighting, animation, motion graphics, and 3D modeling/rendering classes.
We even have degrees that emphasize photography, and/or multimedia at NECC.
All of our multimedia courses are taught by commercial videographers, animators and photographers. currently working-in-the-field.
The college has Canon camcorders, DSLRs, a studio complete with chroma key (green screen), high key, low key, hand-painted backdrops, LEDs, monolights, meters, and editing software for students to use while enrolled in these courses.
If students want to learn more about these classes or programs, I would be happy to help them or they can check with the Art Dept. Chair, Trish Kidney, pkidney@necc.mass.edu or their advisors.
