Overview of class

Increasingly, creative industries are creating works in new media, interactivity, game design, and animation, either as stand-alone properties or as part of a larger franchise. These forms often deviate from legacy production processes, and require different models of budgeting, production, management, and output. Through discussions, exercises, readings, screenings, and lectures, this class will analyze production processes in a variety of new media forms, including projection mapping, apps, video games, live event/theme parks, animation, installations, and VR production. We will study some of the innovative management methods that have emerged in these areas over the past two decades and develop an understanding of how these mediums effect logistical/aesthetic direction, personnel communications, and product release processes. The class will culminate in students creating a planning document for a new media or animation project in one of the disciplines we've discussed.

Class Materials (Required)
