PURCHASES
GY-HD200 PRO HD CAMERAS FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION
CURRICULUM
Wayne, NJ (January 7,
2008) — Wisconsin-based Madison
Media Institute (MMI), a leading college for training in digital media arts,
recording and video, upgrades its Video Production department to HD with JVC’s
GY-HD200 cameras.
“The GY-HD200 provided us
with an extremely cost-effective way to upgrade to HD,” said Erik Higgs, an instructor at Madison Media Institute. “JVC’s cameras are intuitive and have a very
functional design. With the affordable
price point we were able to convert our studios and editing suites with ease.”
Department of Visual Arts
Chairman, Nella Citino commented on why JVC is the school’s camera of choice,
“JVC cameras have kept the traditional approach for manually adjusting white
balance, focus, iris and zoom. It’s
vital that our students understand how to use these cameras since many
broadcast outlets utilize cameras with manual adjustments. The GY-HD200 cameras provide a high quality
picture and are extremely durable.”
Higgs
also commented on JVC’s customer service, “James Daniels from JVC was kind
enough to spend 90 minutes with our students and faculty explaining the details
of the cameras. His effort is truly is
an example of excellent customer service.”
The school also utilizes the
GY-HD200s for live concert recordings, educational seminars, the Madison Media
Institute’s 48-Hour Film Festival, guest artist recordings, as well as local
media events and student demo reels.
For classroom and lab
exercises, first and second semester students record on tape. They can understand the basics of shooting
and post-production editing. However, third and fourth semester students learn
to record to DR-HD100 to familiarize themselves with a different workflow and
process.
MMI utilizes the BR-HD50s
for digitizing and capturing footage, which is edited in a variety formats in
Final Cut Studio.
