Digital displays — from phones and TVs to theater projectors — fall short of showing the full spectrum of colors visible to the human eye. Two Baylor professors are responsible for innovating technology known as 6P Color, a multi-primary color system to solve this issue, playing a major role in reshaping how screens reproduce color, emotion and visual storytelling in the future.

As new technologies continue to disrupt past workflows, Baylor’s FDM program is preparing students by equipping them to enter the industry ready to adapt, without losing the humanity behind the visual narrative.

As of April 2024, Warner Bros executives have shelved three finished feature films: “Batgirl,” “Scoob: Holiday Haunt” and, most recently, “Coyote vs ACME.” The latest was canceled despite David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. and Discovery, having never seen the movie at all.

With the difficulties of trying to find internships and enter the workforce, Joe Kickasola, film and digital media department professor and director of the Baylor in New York program, wanted to give students a once-in-a-lifetime chance to kickstart their careers.

In film and digital media classes like production methods II (PMII) and short film production, students are exposed to the process of making short films, preparing them for their careers at Baylor and beyond.
