Congratulations to Cory Avery, Matthew Kennedy, Donna O'Brien-Sokić and Andrew Stevenson on being awarded the Humber Innovation of the Year Award 2023 for their project, Real Time Compositing (RTC) & In-Camera VFX (ICFX). 

RTC & ICFX is an innovative tool that film productions and Humber students are using and, specifically in virtual production, is replacing green screen technologies by allowing film creators to view a version of their final composite image during production. With the demands for this new workflow increasing, a workforce shortage of skilled creatives and technicians has emerged in Toronto and globally. Developing curriculum for Real Time Compositing, in conjunction with education partner, William F. White International and using their Virtual Production TechLab, this team is innovating new training which is preparing our students to succeed in an economy that is technology-driven and constantly changing. This cutting-edge curriculum development introduces this new(er) media production process across multiple programs, allowing the college to remain current in an ever-evolving media landscape. 

Thank you all for your dedication to creating an innovative and collaborative project that benefits the Humber Community! 

The Real Time Compositing & In-Camera VFX Award Video was released at this year’s Showcase and is now viewable on Panopto.

The Professional Writing and Communications (PWC) graduate certificate students are available for work in full-time writing and communications roles this fall, from September to mid-December, for their work placement.  

Third-semester PWC students are able to create documents suitable for a diversity of audiences and purposes using advanced linguistic and rhetorical skills and are prepared to produce work individually or in collaboration.  

The work-integrated learning experience should allow students to:

• demonstrate proficiency in adhering to professional writing best practices,  
• collaborate with others in a professional setting,  
• show responsiveness to business and organizational procedures and protocols, 
• apply core communications strategies and skills, and
• show time-management skills by completing assigned tasks in a timely and professional manner. 

For more information about hosting a PWC work placement, please contact Megan Hornblow at megan.hornblow@humber.ca.

The Humber Bookstore at North Campus is currently closed as we prepare for our move into new premises at H103, opposite Gourmet Express and Subway. Online orders can still be placed and picked up at the warehouse window beside Subway.

The new Humber Campus Store is still under wraps behind the white plastic barrier while we install new fixtures and merchandise the space, in advance of opening after the Canada Day weekend on Tuesday July 4. Regular operating hours are 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

 We look forward to serving you in our newly designed and built space, the latest project in Humber’s retail redevelopment.
