Our Mission
In the Canadore TV and Video Production program we strongly believe in teaching, not only the technical side of production but also the basics. What it takes to produce programming for a television network, production facility, a documentary, music video or a corporate video for a client. With hands on learning occurring within the first week of school, students really embrace the program and its mission.

Canadore unveils new Media Hub (Studio 2)    After a period of renovations and equipment upgrades, Canadore now has one of
the most advanced digital production studios in Ontario. The Integrated Media Centre features leading-edge equipment and technology giving students a real-world experience like no other. Housed within the new 2,000 sq-ft media hub is the camera of filmmakers’ dreams - the ultra high resolution RED Epic digital camera. The camera, used in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean 4, The Hobbit, and the Amazing Spiderman, gives current media students and prospective students for the new Digital Cinematography program the opportunity for unique and coveted hands-on experience. “I am so impressed to see a college with a RED camera,” said Jeff Chen, Film Director for Colony Pictures. “Canadore’s set up is very cutting-edge, with computers and technology to create industry-standard visual effects.” The Hub, as the IMC is referred to at the College, provides students with open access to new equipment and emerging multimedia technology. Investments were made by Northern Heritage Fund and Fednor in the amount of $1 million each. “It is a great investment in the future of television and film production in the North. It gives us a new platform to educate film and television students and even outside content producers,” said Yura Monestime, Professor of Television and Video Production and Digital Cinematography. “The Hub provides a high tech area to visually create and tell their stories. It is a wonderful complement to our existing television area and our new Digital Cinematography program which is starting this Fall,” The Hub’s other new features include a 850 HD Tricaster switcher with Panasonic HD cameras, Sony F3 Cinema cameras, a steadicam and field audio equipment, LED studio lights, private edit suites and a master Red edit suite with a built in Red Rocket card, a 15x12 corner less green screen, an HD Carbonite switcher, HD Extreme graphics and the Ross Softmetal server . Recent Television graduate, Chantal Garcia said her class loved the opportunity to train on this advanced equipment. “Canadore gave me the best experience. I got all the training I needed and time on equipment that other schools won’t have for years,” she said. The Centre’s advanced digital platform will benefit a number of existing programs at the College - including Advertising, Radio, Television and Video Production, Digital Cinematography, Graphic Design, Mobile App Development and Theatre Arts - and will be a technology base for new program development. “The idea behind the Media Centre is to provide a space where students across programs can work and learn from each other,” said David Himmelman, Dean of Media, Design and Dramatic Arts. “By creating this type of collaborative learning environment, students will learn different disciplines that will prepare them for careers across the globe.” |
