MTPC Printshop is now offering in-house backdrop production services. All related tasks including large format printing, laminating, mounting, laser-cutting and setup can all be done on-campus without needing to turn to external services. The service is ideal for functions and events with a low budget but fast turnaround. More importantly, all materials used are either eco-friendly paper cardboard or formboard that will be recycled for other jobs. Besides, event organizers can also contact Printshop to evaluate and collect the backdrop materials of their used backdrop after the event for other jobs. This will minimize the waste generated from single use items and save the material costs for other jobs. In-house Backdrop Production and Recycling Reduce Waste Repurposing Recycling MTPC successfully held lunchtime workshops on A.I. for motion imaging and stop-motion animation at the Creative Media Zone (CMZ) for HKUST staff and students. In one workshop, MTPC staff picked four of the most popular A.I. video tools available to the public today – Wonder Studio, Pika Labs, Runway and Moonvalley – and demonstrated their functions, as well as the pros and cons of each tool. In another workshop, staff introduced tools and techniques that can help everyone to create unique stop-motion animation at home with ease. More CMZ workshops will be organized in Spring. They include the “360 Video Screening & Workshop”, and the “Create & Bind Workshop” held in April 2024. Creative Digital Media Workshops
