Students will level-up their skills and be prepared to join the rapidly expanding world of content creation. More audio and video content is being uploaded every 30 days than the major US media producers—combined—released over the last 30 years. Every analysis shows that websites and mobile apps need animation, motion graphic and video content to succeed, and the demand is greater than ever for content producers who understand how to consistently turn out high-quality media.

Our hands-on approach is reinforced by the idea that achieving a greater fluency in story structure and storytelling techniques offers the decisive edge that content creators require in order to compete. Student work is a mix of class assignments, self-selected projects and client jobs for area schools, organizations and nonprofits. Documentary, PSA, advocacy and corporate video techniques are taught alongside fictional, genre and narrative filmmaking methods. Students acquire sufficient skills and knowledge to seek employment in a range of media production and content creation settings or to further their education in a clearly articulated pathway. -Students in the program may qualify for as many as 15 Walla Walla Community College credits.
