\nWe’ve put the spotlight on faculty creativity<\/a> this week but didn’t want to miss the chance to share some strong projects from some of our graduates this spring. Whether they were spending hours in the Media Lab perfecting an illustration or they were attending advanced media training in Stage 1, students of all majors this semester took advantage of the tools, spaces, and training on offer in the Learning Studio to produce work that they could be truly proud of.<\/p>\n “All ACU students should take advantage of the Learning Studio regardless of their major. Learning how to create and share ideas has made me a better social worker, but it has also made me a more effective communicator. The AT&T Learning Studio is a prime example of ACU\u2019s commitment to innovative learning.”<\/em>\u00a0 \u2013 Hannah Sims<\/p>\n The Learning Studio helped these graduating seniors and grad students leave campus with the skills to share stories with the world that matter. We can’t wait to see what these creators do next!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.97″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_video _builder_version=”4.9.10″ image_src=”\/\/i.vimeocdn.com\/video\/692244707-284b593a4829945c9001e23b9a065bdb43c0671ad5a87db22d9aabaaa575f3d7-d_640″ src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/262865344″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ z_index_tablet=”0″ \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.97″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n \nYear-Round short film We were excited to have 13 student films premiere at FilmFest this year, but one film caught our eye. For his 4th consecutive FilmFest, John Greer wrote and directed Year-Round<\/em>. He also shot his film on one of our Canon 6D DSLR cameras with carefully composed shots that won the Best Cinematography award this year. You can find more winners from this year or John’s previous films on the FilmFest blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”25px Divider (Phone Only)” color=”#ffffff” show_divider=”off” height=”25px” disabled=”off” disabled_on=”||on” divider_style=”solid” divider_position=”top” hide_on_mobile=”off” saved_tabs=”all” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=”3.0.97″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”on” gallery_ids=”225619,225617,225618,225616″ zoom_icon_color=”#00aeef” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” fullwidth=”on” orientation=”landscape” background_layout=”light” pagination_font_size_tablet=”51″ pagination_line_height_tablet=”2″ \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.97″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n \nWichita Mountains photos In short afternoon training or weekend workshops, students are developing more confidence with their cameras. Nick has been doing the important work of any photographer–shooting as much as possible–and taking pictures wherever and whenever he is is paying off. Over spring break he kept shooting with friends on some hikes in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma, and this last year his portfolio landed him a job shooting for\u00a0The Optimist<\/em>.\u00a0 [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_video _builder_version=”4.9.10″ image_src=”\/\/i.vimeocdn.com\/video\/680643790-00e6de07affca9168bdb6278217939058587d62832b86ea8cd940cf3ec67616e-d_640″ src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/253690240″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ z_index_tablet=”0″ \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.97″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n \nFostering Brighter Futures video This spring Hannah worked with the Texas Council of Child Welfare Boards on a video project to improve perceptions around foster parenting. She filmed the spots in the One Button Studio and finished them with skills she picked up in Social Work classes producing media assignments. It’s exciting to see how skills developed for one project build the confidence to try the next one.

The playful look of the project hides just how much work went into the editing, sound, and on-screen titles.
