Virtual Success - Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Looking to create a unique, real world experience for students? Could interdisciplinary collaboration be the solution? In this episode Professor Shirantha Beddage chats with FMCA Professors Eva Ziemsen, Umer Noor and Matthew Mazza about their award winning collaboration that brings together Film and Multiplatform Storytelling students with Game Programming students. Professors Ziemsen, Noor and Mazza discuss how the interdisciplinary collaboration evolved into a successful and exciting learning experience for faculty and learners. This innovative project introduced creative film students to game programmers, and challenged them to collaborate on a virtual production. A true first for all involved. We hear how the project took the professors' teaching practice to another level, and what faculty members learned from each other along the way. This collaboration is a powerful example of what makes Humber an innovative leader in Higher Education. http://www.shiranthabeddage.com Introduction to a Collaboration Between FMST and Game Programmers https://vimeo.com/656331424 3D Creation Tool https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US Perforce https://www.perforce.com/matthew-mazza
