A public service announcement (PSA) produced by Allan Hancock College motion graphics students is now airing on CBS affiliate KCOY TV 12. The PSA is the result of a competition among student groups within the college’s intermediate motion graphics class as part of the applied design media curriculum.

The winning student team of Suzanne Hunter, Richard Seindenberg, John Hall and Trirena Barnett created a 30 second, 3-D high definition piece using Maya graphics, and composited the elements in Adobe After Effects. Instructor Ben Slocum, an AHC alumnus and current KCOY employee, led the project.

The winning video can be seen through April 2.

The class is part of the multimedia arts and communication program that also includes animation, graphics, photography and Web site design. For more information, contact program coordinator Jeanine Moret at 922-6966 ext. 3389 or jmoret@hancockcollege.edu.
