Student Spotlight

She puts design to work
Senior Tessa Moody started as an education major at a college in Montana, but by the end of her freshman year she was researching art programs, and found OSU-Cascades. “I wanted a program that combined studio arts with technology,” she said. As an AMT major she built an installation where she stretched multi-colored strings across a stairwell creating spatial planes that warp and twist, created stop-motion animation videos, and practiced printmaking and 3D printing. Tessa has put her graphic design courses to work as a social media intern for a local resort, in the OSU-Cascades marketing department, and in public relations for both student government and student life. “I try and bring an art lens to marketing," she said.
Experiential Learning

Out there in his field
Erik Alvstad gained hands-on experience making special effects videos like this one for the OSU-Cascades Admissions Office. “This project gave me real experience I can show to potential employers," said Erik. What it took to make the video:
- Filming in two locations: Classroom and in front of a green screen at the Bend Rock Gym
- Masking each frame and assembly using Adobe Premiere and After Effects
- A leaf blower and loose paper to give a visual cue for the thrust
- Aputure 300d lighting with softbox for the lighting
- Climbing harness, rope and friends to hoist the professor
