Syracuse and Canon partner for a documentary project with AMLOS in Syracuse
In an exciting development, a groundbreaking documentary titled "A Tale of Two Cities" is set to debut at the upcoming Syracuse Film Festival in New York. This remarkable project, a collaboration between Syracuse University, Universidad del Sagrado Corazon in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Canon, brings together students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to create a compelling final product.
The collaboration was facilitated by Canon's Activate My Line of Sight (AMLOS) technology, an innovative tool designed to enhance visual communication and collaboration. While the specific application of AMLOS in this cross-university documentary project is not widely documented, it is believed to have played a crucial role in seamlessly connecting students despite geographic distance.
Jennifer Wybieracki, a master's graduate student at Syracuse University, highlighted the project's profound impact on the students' learning experience. Guided by Milton Santiago, assistant professor of visual communications at Syracuse University, and Professor Harold Leonard Navarro at Universidad del Sagrado Corazon, the students worked tirelessly to create this thought-provoking documentary.
The documentary explores a topic of mutual regional significance, bridging the gap between two cities and cultures. By supporting this cross-university collaboration, Canon is proud to help equip the next generation of filmmakers and storytellers with the tools they need to share their unique perspectives and foster meaningful connections through creativity and innovation.
Shinya Fukuda, SVP of Corporate Planning and Communications at Canon, stated that the company's support of the project underscores Canon's ongoing commitment to fostering creativity and innovation across academic institutions. He believes that technology has the power to transcend boundaries, whether geographic, cultural, or academic, and this collaboration is a testament to that belief.
The success of this project opens the door for future projects that bring together students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in innovative ways. As we eagerly await the premiere of "A Tale of Two Cities" at the Syracuse Film Festival, we can't help but feel inspired by the potential for collaboration and innovation that lies ahead.
The Activate My Line of Sight (AMLOS) technology, provided by Canon, is believed to have been a crucial aspect in facilitating visual communication and collaboration during the creation of the documentary "A Tale of Two Cities," which examines education-and-self-development through storytelling and visual communication. This innovative project, a joint effort between Syracuse University, Universidad del Sagrado Corazon, and Canon, showcases how technology can bridge geographic and cultural gaps, exemplifying features of creative collaboration and innovation.
