As many of you know, Iolite and I work with the University of Advancing Technology (who also provides the bulk of the download bandwidth that we use here at VTW, thank you!). We are ridiculously proud of the work that our students create, and wanted to share this mash-up of recent films created by the Digital Video students. Enjoy!

Shameless plug: If you are interested in pursuing your own degree in Digital Video Production, come check us out at http://majors.uat.edu/digital-video/.
