I headed up the new and growing Film program at Collins College. This BA degree program has 250+ students, and I supervised 10 full time instructors, plus a couple of part time instructors and several Student Assistants. As the program grew we offered traditional film instruction with Super16mm cameras, and top end HD with the Sony CineAlta 900 HDCam and the Panasonic Varicam, in addition to the smaller formats. We also started a thorough Visual FX program that covered more than just computer effects with Combustion and Flame; students also photographed models and live action. Our proudest accomplishment was construction of a 30k sq ft studios bldg, with the most best equipped stages in the state.
