TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS Across three continents and online, SCAD curates custom technology at the cutting edge with the singular goal of providing students with everything they need to master their talents. Educational resources in every discipline — a virtual reality and augmented reality lab, green screens, Ultra HD (4K) cameras, Cintiq drawing screens, CNC mill and routers, an injection molding machine, Wacom Cintiq displays, 3-D printers, a large-format flatbed UV printer, Foley soundstages, fully equipped HD television studios, a Jacquard loom, laser cutters, a state-of-the-art sculpture foundry and two Vicon motion capture studios — help SCAD students traverse their areas of study and push the limits of their practice. At SCAD campus locations in North America, Europe and Asia, students find their niches as they experiment with the same professional instruments and technologies they will soon use in the workplace. The university’s amenities include physical computing labs, state-ofthe-art Mac and high-end PC workstation labs with cinematic displays and industry-standard applications in every program. Additionally, all students are provided with full access to Adobe Creative Cloud Complete and Microsoft Office 365 for use on their own computers. Creative inspiration and career preparation abound in every department and in every location, from the rare opportunity to become Media Composer and Pro Tools certified before graduating to producing ABS and polycarbonate 3-D models. In photography, students expose and process RA-4 photographic materials using powerful high-resolution printers, including a Chromira ProLab printer or on a variety of inkjet printers. SCAD entertainment arts and digital media degree programs benefit from professional equipment, including the Steadicam Shadow, Panther Evo Plus and Fisher dollies, Techno-Jib, six chroma key green screen studios, a Dolby Surround 7.1 sound mixing suite and two Icon D-Command recording studios.
I’m constantly amazed at the caliber of equipment we have at SCAD. Between the mixing stages, the Foley stages and the editing suites, the resources I am working with are the kinds of things professionals rave about. IAN CHASE SCAD B.F.A. sound design Rome, Italy
