Jeffery Wieck
Instructional Areas
Over the years I've taught pre-production, lighting for television, Film History, Aesthetics of television, and video production. My most rewarding teaching experiences have come from teaching multicamera studio production at Columbia College. It gives me an opportunity to take students with little or no television experience and see them grow to the point where they can walk into a studio and be comfortable with any crew position or piece of equipment.
