Students in Media Showcase Fall 2024 Projects

The Media Communications Department closed out last semester with its traditional Showcase on December 12 at the Laney Theater.

The evening began with a pre-show mixer and potluck, where attendees brought dishes to share and enjoyed a welcoming community atmosphere. The event then began, featuring an array of impressive projects created by students in Virtual Production (Media 44), Beginning Video Production (Media 104), Audio Production (Media 111), Media-Based Computing (Media 115), Editing (Media 138/139), and Sound Recording (Media 155/156), which included music videos, mixing, and mastering.

The showcase celebrated the creativity and collaboration of Laney’s Media Communications students, highlighting their talent and dedication. It was an inspiring evening that demonstrated the vibrant media community at Laney, and reflected well on Media faculty colleagues such as Steve Shlisky, Vina Cera, Marla Leech, and Koina Freeman.
