    Technology and Equipment Available to SOC Students

    Students at SOC explore equipment from The Cage: SOC's camera equipment and rental space. 

    You guys are probably going to want to look at this and this. This is our main area. Okay, so this is like the center of the room. And then we have the green screen era, which is just that corner.

    Welcome to the School of Communications equipment room for SOC students, otherwise known as the "CAGE." The CAGE serves the equipment needs of SOC production courses, including film classes, photography classes, journalism classes, production classes, and so much more.

    When I'm panning I usually have, I'm always over here, and I usually have one hand with a tripod. And when I can until they move, I actually don't grip... I don't grip the tripod.

    Our SOC students have access to a broad array of industry standard resources to take their multimedia projects to the next level, including 4k cameras, top-tier microphones, multiple recording studios, and the media production center itself, complete with a full green screen setup.

    You can find more resources and instructions to rent equipment from the CAGE by visiting SOC's equipment rental website at https://ausoc.getconnect2.com/.
