Requesting to Screen Content in a MAGIC Theater for QC (DCPs, film/animation, etc)
MAGIC Spell Studios supports content playback for students/faculty to review content for Quality Control (QC) in the Wegmans Theater or our Color Grading Suite.
If you are a student or faculty member looking to screen content for QC in one of our theaters, follow the instructions below to submit a request.
This request is ONLY for QC of content, NOT for screenings events. To request a screenings event, please email Eva Sarachan-Dubay (esdmss@rit.edu) with your request.
Please visit either schedule.cad.rit.edu or reserve.rit.edu for available times so you are making an educated request on timing/availability
