Course Overview

  • Motion picture science is an RIT New Economy Major. This collection of degree programs is forward-thinking and future-forming and helps prepare you to excel in the multidisciplinary nature of our modern, dynamic economy.
  • A collaborative major where students combine engineering with the arts to prepare for dynamic careers where art and science inspire innovation in the feature film, television, and animation production.
  • Graduates have established distinguished careers at major visual effects, post-production studios, and media technology companies including Apple, DreamWorks, Dolby, HBO, Marvel Entertainment, NBC, Netflix, and Technicolor.
  • Students engage in forward-thinking research projects that have been sponsored by Netflix and other industry partners. Students have access to MAGIC Spell Studios, a facility with industry-standard color correction, sound mixing suites, and much more.
  • Students, faculty, and alumni are routinely recognized for their research contributions at the Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, which recognizes innovation and contributions to cinema technology.

What’s the last great movie or TV show you saw that made a lasting impression on you? The most ingenious minds behind the most captivating shows and movies apply their knowledge of science and engineering, and use their passion for storytelling to make film, television, and animation possible.

The BS in motion picture science provides a science- and engineering-based education in the fundamental imaging technologies used for the motion picture industry. By combining a core curriculum in filmmaking, production, and digital cinema from the College of Art and Design and course work from the imaging science major in the College of Science, the motion picture science degree prepares students in the art and science of feature film, television, and animation production. Topics include film and digital image capture, film scanning, digital image manipulation, color science, visual effects, and digital and traditional projection. New facilities provide students with hands-on experience on the same equipment being used in major motion picture production today.

Utilizing research, critical thinking, creativity, and a range of problem-solving principles, students are taught to address complex motion-imaging workflow issues within the constraints of time, space, budget, and technology. Graduates enjoy a variety of career opportunities. Our alumni develop digital cinema technology, manage feature film and television post-production, design imaging equipment, and conduct research and development that continues the advancement of motion-imaging technology.
