Departmental MultiMedia Projects

• American Film Masters
  Teams working under the direction of Professor Robert Kapsis have undertaken major multimedia projects on the careers and work of several important directors, including Alfred Hitchcock and Clint Eastwood. The following excerpts from these works in progress demonstrate the potential of this new medium.
  

• Multimedia Urban Ethnography
  With the support of the National Science Foundation, Professor Samuel Heilman's students are taking urban ethnography to the next stage. Students go into the field with camcorders and laptops, and in addition to text, their papers include stills, video clips, and sound. The final papers are multi-media CDROMS. A shortened version of Anna Sun's work on the visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art exemplifies what can be done.
