Motion Picture Engineering - Micro-credential

Overview

Why should I take this Micro-credential? 

• Companies like Netflix, Apple, Amazon are both content creators, and streaming media platforms, and this fuels the demand for engineers in both domains. The pandemic has amplified the importance of both movie making technology and streaming media platforms. 

• As the areas of filmmaking and media streaming converge, engineers in post-production houses need to understand more about the latest compression standards and engineers in streaming media teams need to understand more about what high quality image manipulation entails. 

• This Motion Picture Engineering - Micro-credential course at Trinity College Dublin suits engineers in a start up in the video streaming space or designing image enhancement technology as well as those embarking on a graduate degree in Video Engineering. If you have just joined a post-production house or start up as an early stage graduate this course is an excellent onboarding strategy.

How will this Micro-credential be delivered? 

• The micro-credential is built around 5 contact hours per week. There is a fixed 3-hour block for practical work and 1-hour blocks for lecture material every week. 

• In the first two weeks the 3-hour blocks will be used for an introduction to the NUKE cinema compositor and its programming environment. 

• Thereafter you will be led through several short exercises in plugin development and compression usage. These blocks will be mostly self-directed with advice from the module coordinator in the first hour of each block.
