Film and Moving Image News

We love to host our friends from Sony, and try to get them on campus once every few years, if not every year. Yesterday - February 25 - we were lucky to have Sony representatives Tom Cubby and Cindy Silva pay a visit to Assistant Professor in Film & Moving Image Christopher Ernst's FMI202 (Cinematography II: Color) class with the following cameras: the A7SII, FS5, X70, HXC-D70 and FS7 (we already own this last one). Pictured, above, starting in the top left corner and moving clockwise across and then down to the lower left corner are: 1) Tom Cubby and Josh Herrera; 2) Jessie Dubyoski (on screen) and Deanna Kinzie; 3) Jonathan Kuchinskas, Josh Herrera and Jessie Dubyoski; Jonathan Kuchinskas and Josh Herrera (on screen); 5) Ryan Scott, Jonathan Kuchinskas and Joe Dimaio (on screen).

There's some great work, as always, happening in our students' classes. Assistant Professor in Film & Moving Image Christopher Ernst's FMI202 (Cinematography II: Color) and FMI306 (Experimental Cinema) classes, pictured above, are innovating away. Starting in the bottom left, and moving up and clockwise, the folks whose faces you can (sort of see) are: Kara Stone, Joe Dimaio, Theo Booker (all in FMI306) and then Joshua Herrera in the middle of the right-hand column, on camera (in FMI202).

Last night, we screened our Spring 2016 Artist-in-Residence Ramona Diaz's amazing 2012 documentary Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey. This was the culmination of Ms. Diaz's successful two-day visit to our campus. Above is a photo from the first day, with, from left to right: Stevenson University President Kevin Manning, Ramona Diaz and Film & Moving Image Department Chair Christopher Llewellyn Reed.
