Create Visual and Audio Masterpieces
The Studio is a creative workspace that lets you make and learn how to create media in various forms. In the studio, you can
Record
a podcast on the history of fruit drinks, your new alternative hip-hop mixtape, or an audition for a voiceover in a commercial.
Capture
an image of your new product, a portrait for your graduation, or an audition tape for a role in an upcoming drama series.
Design
a graphic for your new clothing brand, a poster for your storefront, or a personalized title for your band’s disc jacket.
Edit
the recording of your wedding reception, a video essay on the merits of eating gummy worms, or a 4D ASMR video.
