2003 MIP Sessions |
The one-week Media Intensive Programs (MIP) offer students an action-packed week of hands-on training in an innovative live/work media centre on Galiano Island. Drama, Documentary, Animation and Visual Effects are among the many production focuses you can choose. Since 1995, hundreds of youth and adults have been immersed in the world of desktop video / animation / multimedia / film production at GIFTS.
Every week students work with other creatively motivated students and accomplished filmmakers to produce a short video or animation. The small size of the production teams (3-4) ensures that each person participates in every facet of the production process and gets to work on the professional level equipment available at the school. The creative and technical aspects are crystal clear and uninterrupted in the safe, quiet setting of a beautiful island. The students are involved in everything from the initial brainstorming session to the final edit and sound mix. They’re in the driver’s seat and make all the major decisions required at every stage of the process. Respect for the students’ creative autonomy is part of what makes GIFTS so successful.

Drama
The schedules of each particular focus of The Media Intensive Program
