Has anyone here attended the New York Film Academy Workshop? what to expect?

I did a one week filmmaking course. If you want to know anything about that.

yeah. im doing the weekend. but the schedules are probably close to the same. what did they have you do and stuff?

2 of my clasasmates took a NYFA course and said that it's wel;l worth the price. However, I asked this same in some other film forum and recieved mixed reviews.

Also, they hae open houses once a month and I believe you can arrange to sit in on a class if you call them in advance.

Hopefully at the end of the year i Plan on doing there 4 week Digtal Film course.

Well, you would go to a class, whether it be directing, writing or camera class, then lunch. I wouldn't consider the classes "workl". They were very intriguing and notes weren't need - althugh you can jot em down if you want to. Then another one of the classes. You would have the classes for about three days, then go into the shooting rotation. You would form a group with other people and you would shoot your short in rotation of everyone in your group. The other people in your group would be DP, actor, etc while you direct your film. After classes/shooting, you are free to do whatever you want. Whether it go to your dorm room or go into the city/town/ wherever. Last day is the screening of everybody's films. I thought it was great. Definitely recccomend it.

hey. has anyone done the 1 week Filmmaking or Music Video camps in NYC???? can you please help me, it seems really really cool, but im not sure. thanks. =]]

Strongly recommended, take the two month intensive filmmaking course.

I did the 4 week summer program at Princeton. I used the final film I made there as my portfolio piece when I applied to NYU, and got in.

Did anybody do 4 week of 16mm Filmmaking Universal, LA? Is it worth my money?
