University Unveils Digital Media Certificate Program

In August, the chapter hosted John Miralles, director of animation and visual effects at Louisiana State University Shreveport. Miralles unveiled a new Digital Media Certificate program designed to provide students with rapid access to digital media careers. The one-year intensive program includes classroom study and guided lab time, and it is project based. Students leave the program with extensive training time in computer graphics applications and production and are prepared to enter the work force with a quality portfolio. Miralles earned his bachelor of fine arts in photography and a master of fine arts in computer art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He has 15 years experience in the entertainment computer graphics field with a specialization in advanced feature film compositing, and his broadcast clients have included Viacom, MTV/VH1 networks, Pfizer, Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, Imax, New Line and Lions Gate, among others.
