Course Equipment
The Department of Communication has video equipment, primarily for the purpose of serving the needs of its video production classes. The equipment storeroom is located on the 4th floor of the Richardson Communications Center. The following is a partial list of the equipment available:
Cameras: Currently, most students shoot on digital video (DV), but Trinity is making the transition to high-definition video (HDV) soon. Each camera can be checked out with a tripod.
Sound: All the cameras include microphones; in addition, we have several booms equipped with Sennheiser microphones. There is also a sound booth available for voice recording.
Editing: Most students edit using Adobe Premiere. Final Cut Pro is also available.
Lighting: Arri fresnel kits, Kinoflo kits, and one Mole-Richardson HMI kit.
Grip: C-stands, flag kits, diffusion, gels, and a doorway dolly with tracks.
Students who are involved with TigerTV use a variety of other video production tools, including a set of high-definition cameras for use with three-camera recording.
The AT&T Center for Learning and Technology is another resource allowing students to use editing tools and other production equipment. For more details, click here.
