Susanne Jaschko: How important is video as a medium in your study programme? Sonja Bender: At the department of "Liberal Arts" / have so far only spotted some rather token - i.e. completely obsolete - tiny video editing tables. At the HdK's newly established Institute for Time-based Media there is a battle under way to get more of the budgetary funds and to increase sponsoring funds for urgently needed new equipment as well as for the main­ tenance of editing tables. Timm Rngewaldt: My course of study is called "Designing with Digital Media". Video is a medium that exists in a similar form digitally. The differences between video, TV and computer are anyway disappearing more and more. Eliane Schott:It's the medium ineed the most as well as everything that goes along with it- editing, small animations, image processing. Alexander Sellschopp: Focus of instruction (at the DFFB) is clearly on the more classical cinema with actors and with film as its vehicle. Carsten Stabenow: Alongside the classic communications media, video is the most important element in instruction, i.e. in as far as it accommodates individual intentions.
