But the development of DaVinci Resolve really cemented the company in our minds as the ideal platform for our students to learn professional level skills.

Over several years we have purchased Blackmagic Design equipment to do specific tasks, such as the HyperDeck. Wilmot added: “The menus and layout of the cameras make them very accessible and easy to use in teaching compared to other cameras. The relationships the students can develop with professional crew have created pathways for many of them to gain paid employment in the broadcast industry.” We pride ourselves on fully integrating our students into the workflow of a real, valuable product: operating cameras, auto cues, EVS, floor managing, assisting with audio and lighting. Head of group, film, animation and performing arts, Dr Simon Wilmot, said: “What makes our course different is our focus on developing real world skills, using technology that our students will encounter in a professional setting. The Deakin University team started investing in Blackmagic Design inventory over 10 years ago when Davinci Resolve was applied to create digital screening packages. Students develop real world experience on industry standard equipment including URSA Broadcast G2s equipped with URSA Studio Viewfinders, Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 digital film cameras, ATEM Camera Control Panel, ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K and ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K live production switchers, HyperDeck Studio Mini broadcast decks, SmartView Duo 2 monitors and Micro Converters SDI to HDMI. For these games, students work alongside trained professionals in Deakin University’s OB van, which incorporates Blackmagic Design technology. Located in Victoria State, Deakin University’s Bachelor of Film, Television and Animation programme has invested in a suite of Blackmagic Design products, including ATEM live production switchers, URSA Broadcast G2 cameras and DaVinci Resolve editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio postproduction software.Īiming to enhance the skill set of creative professionals, the three-year programme includes the unique opportunity to produce live broadcasts of Women's National Basketball League games streamed on Fox Sport and Kayo and Victorian Football League games streamed on Seven Plus.
