🎬✨ Lights, Camera… Let’s Roll! ✨🎬

Last week was all about Lecture — this week it’s time to bring it to life! In Cinematography and Lighting, part of the Film and Media Arts Department at Yavapai College, students are moving from lecture to hands-on action later this week!

Get ready to work with industry-level cameras, lighting rigs, and tools that transform ideas into cinematic masterpieces. This is where classroom knowledge meets creative ex*****on — and the results are 🔥.
