INDIAN STREET STUDIOS
Amid the historic seaport buildings overlooking the Savannah River,
you’ll find Hamilton Hall, the university’s original film and sound
facility. Minimally ornamented and functionally designed, Hamilton
Hall originally provided space for a secondary power station and
warehouse.
Today, this 49,373-square-foot facility includes classrooms and
studio space, a professionally equipped sound recording studio and
control room, Foley and automated dialog recording stage, music
recording studio, a film screening room with surround-sound mixing,
and postproduction suites equipped with Avid Pro Tools and Media
Composer.
Hamilton Hall’s postproduction facilities and screening rooms
expand to the adjacent Adler Hall and together the two are known
as Indian Street Studios.
While studying at SCAD I worked with
an incredible variety of creatives. Sound
designers, VFX artists, illustrators,
animators, game designers and actors
were all a part of the process. Filmmaking
is the ultimate team sport and SCAD’s
collaborative environment prepared
me for what I do today as a producer;
build teams that make commericals,
music videos and feature films.

library, computer labs, digital studios, classrooms and lecture halls.
