anyone know anything about any of these schools?

I doubt anyone on this board will really know anything about the schools. However, I lived in New Zealand for a short while a couple of years ago and I can tell you that no matter where you go to school there, you will certainly find lots of opportunities to get real world experience around the country. There's a booming film industry down there. It's also a really beautiful place, I would definitely recommend that you spend time there if you can.
