AMT is a campus resource supporting film production, virtual, hybrid, and in-person events and outreach, and remote and in-person instruction and training for faculty, instructors, and TAs. We implement creative, innovative, and tech-savvy solutions to support Caltech's research and education mission, development, and outreach.


  • For 4K and HD filming, animation, and production, we support on- and off-campus interviews, scripted content, b-roll, and in-person events. We have earned awards for research news, fundraising, event, and recruitment videos and animations. Check out our portfolio.
  • For virtual and hybrid events and outreach, we support Zoom Webinars (up to 1,000 participants), Zoom Meetings (up to 500 participants), YouTube Premiere live experiences, and more.
