3D Video Production
One-Year Ontario College Post-Graduate Certificate

Loyalist’s post-graduate 3D Video Production program introduces students to the significant difference between shooting and editing in 2D and 3D.  Students use state of the art 3D equipment to produce short format productions that will inform their professional practice.  Building on skills learned at the undergraduate level, students refine techniques to demonstrate their employability in the content creation industry of today as well as tomorrow.  In collaboration with industry professionals, students develop new techniques to meet the needs of 3D video production.

Graduates can find employment in television, web production, wireless production or a combination of all three.  Combined with an undergraduate diploma and/or degree in traditional video, film or television production, the graduate of this post-diploma certificate will embody the flexibility required as the industry moves from 2D to 3D.
