Student Projects

Roskosmos is the most recent short film by award winnng student filmmaker Romulo Alejandro. Set in the late sixties, the movie is about two Cosmonauts who are stranded in space and must face the inevitability of their deaths.

Media Studies fourth year, Aaron Albin, is helping to create new ways to control and interface with audio. Albin, who is also an Electrical Engineering major, is working on a group project with other E-school students that will allow for motion controlled playback of audio. The group presented their project on December 13th, but will continue to work on it next semester. Please visit http://youtube.com/watch?v=t-B_L7FtyWY for a demonstration of the software.
