<p>Going back to the SCA hijacking of this thread (sorry) I wanted to let Eiffel know that there are lots of other classes available to crit studies majors that do not show up on the list of major requirements that Columbia provided. My son - whose main interest is cinematography - has taken things like Special Effects (fun class where you get to blow up models and such) and Motion Picture Camera. The classes that only production majors get to take include the sequence that culminates in a final film during senior year. Having seen how much time and money those things take, my son has decided he’s happy to stick with crit studies, and help the production majors out with their films. He doesn’t want to be a director, so he’s fine with missing out on that opportunity. So ends the era of pondering whether to apply to switch over to Production.</p>
