Testimonials
I learnt a lot about the basics of film technology and what’s needed in production. My experience taught me about teamwork and how a production only really starts when everyone works together. The school helped me develop a network of professionals. Today, I work as a production assistant for movies and TV shows, handling transcription, subtitles, commercials and PR. Show More
Andrea
I was anxious at the beginning and classes were tough during the first year. However, the teachers always answered my questions and helped me gain confidence in my skills. I had opportunities to learn about camera equipment and technology. I also learned about Japanese media theory, colors, Adobe Photoshop, and After Effects. From the second semester of first year, I was involved in the planning and completion of music video commercials and in my second year, I produced a commercial for a house sharing company. Show More
