mentorship programs
OUR MISSION
Post-production includes anything from editing (picture & sound) to visual effects, animation, motion graphics, color, post supervision, sound mixing, game design, digital painting, and beyond! There’s a wide variety of topics to explore and navigating this space alone can be challenging. That’s where we come in!
Our goal is to foster a collaborative learning space to connect people with growing interests in post-production to the industry itself. We are a think-tank of like-minded individuals, passionate about the diverse topics of post production, however, anyone is invited to join! We also aim to act as a resource for students in production classes to help troubleshoot post-production issues of any kind.
OUR FORMATION
Professor Shaina Holmes, industry vet and post-production guru, created divisions at both Ithaca College and Syracuse University to provide mentorship, promote professional networking, share industry experiences, and propose ideas on how to grow each member’s skill set based on their interests.
WHAT WE DO
Examples of past meetings include: creative critiques, feedback on work, peer-led skill-based demos, workflow management, professional development workshops, and Q&A with top industry professionals.
CONNECTING IT ALL TOGETHER
In the competitive, fast-paced industry of visual effects, internships and entry-level positions are scarce.
But at Flying Turtle Post, we cultivate our apprentices in our academia mentorship programs to give them the opportunity to work on features and client projects. In doing so, we provide the experience these trainees need to grow into the industry’s next professionals, and we are constantly improving and iterating on our services from these fresh minds.
JOIN OUR COMMUNITY
We meet on a weekly basis on each campus during the semester and provide online support to our members year-round on Slack.
Membership is free and open to all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and their contacts at both IC and SU.
