home of Juniata's IMA program.
Across campus, IMA students have access to a plethora of industry relevant resources and facilities. Students also have the opportunity to gain access to cameras and a willing crew of your peers. In fact, Juniata's IMA program cooperates frequently with our theatre faculty and students. The theatre department faculty includes practicing actors from across the nation.
Kepple Hall
The Tom and Pat Kepple Integrated Media and Studio Arts Building, or Kepple Hall, was created as a hub for art. Opened in the fall of 2017, this new addition to campus will help students collaboratively craft, manipulate, and showcase art in traditional media alongside video, digitally enhanced images, and various integrated media. Kepple Hall gives students access to new tools and facilities that will complement and grow the study of traditional arts creation and curation.
The building features community space, where students can undertake group work, and flexible space, wherein rooms can be transformed to suit various art creation, critique, and exhibition needs. To ensure students can explore various media, four studio rooms provide teaching and work space for drawing, painting, 3D design and digital art. This state of the art facility houses computer labs and private editing suites, photography based computer labs, photography studio, and a IMA Studio focused on audio and video production. Additionally, as with all of Juniata's campus, Wi-Fi is available.
Digital Media Studio (DMS)
While working in the DMS, students learn digital video production, including video camera operation, computer video editing, proper lighting techniques, operation of green screen and Chroma Keying, and a multitude of other technical and creative skills.
The Digital Media Studio also provides members of the Juniata community, that don't have extensive knowledge in video-production, an opportunity to have professional-grade video produced, if any need arises.
Some things the DMS produces include documentaries, theatrical productions, training videos, and marketing productions.
