On December 18, Myongi University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for strengthening industry-academia cooperation and practical exchange with PLthink at the Creative Arts Center, 2nd floor, Yongin Campus.
Through this agreement, PLthink is providing the university with diverse professional lighting equipment, including the high-output LED spotlight 'Nanlite Forza 500B II', RGBWW tube lighting 'PavoTube II 30C', panel-type RGB lighting 'PavoSlim 120C', and more. These are professional-grade equipment typically used on commercial film and drama production sets, as well as advertising shoots, with a total value of approximately 10 million KRW. This enables students to gain hands-on experience operating the equipment in practical training sessions; it will significantly enhance the quality of students' filming practice.
Through this agreement, the university expects to strengthen practical linkages with the industry and establish a film education model that combines technology-based practice with creative education. The university believes this opportunity will expand students' creative potential and career paths, while strengthening the connection among education, creative work, and industry.
