What do Spiderman, Star Wars and the HBO miniseries Chernobyl have in common with North Vancouver’s Argyle secondary school? Studio reps from the companies behind these productions were on hand at Argyle on Saturday, Feb. 1, for the annual Digital Media Youth Expo. The highly interactive event, now in its ninth year, is put on by the school’s Digital Media Academy. Representatives from industries including visual effects, animation, film, sound, photography, web design and game design – along with a host of other realms – offered a variety of demos and hands-on experiences. The expo is an opportunity for students, parents, teachers and the community to visit 40 booths manned by industry experts from local and global organizations involved in all aspects of digital media. dmacademy.ca
