Creator Pod (Studio A)
A versatile DIY studio designed to be the future of digital production, the Creator Pod (formerly known as Studio A) allows students to practice getting comfortable on camera and using a teleprompter, and produce their own work through open studio bookings. That can include on-camera in-person or remote interviews, live or streamed programs and the use of graphics — all without needing a crew or control room. The pod also serves as the classroom for a number of USC Annenberg classes.
