Los Angeles Film School
The Los Angeles Film School was founded by Hollywood professionals who recognized the need for a new kind of film school, one that balanced the practical with the academic.
The LAFS is located on Sunset Blvd. near Vine Street in Hollywood, California, and offers a one year, "hands on", immersion program, educating students in the science, craft and theory of filmmaking (including film editing).
The school stresses practical learning, giving video cameras to students the first week of the program, with which they create their first short film: a single set-up, minute long story.
Students continue to produce increasingly more involved short film exercises, culminating in a thesis film project. Any student who wishes to make a short film as writer and or director will have this opportunity at the LAFS and every effort is made to give producers, editors, cinematographers, sound and production designers an opportunity to practice their craft on a student film production.
The school stresses technical education and is equipped with 35 and 16mm film cameras, digital and High Definition digital Cameras, multiple AVID editing bays and advanced sound recording and mixing systems. The school is known in particular for its avocation of the High Definition digital format and its commitment to educating future cinematographers in the art and science of lighting for and using HD Digital Cameras. Students have 24 hour access to all post production facilities. The school has a 4,000 square foot digital soundstage, equipped with cutting-edge Sony High Definition cameras and one of the largest hard cycloramas for creating virtual sets.
Student films are screened in a 340-seat, stadium style, THX certified, Dolby Digital Surround EX, wide-screen motion picture theater equipped with both film and digital projection. Editing students utilize a dozen Avid Media Composer 1000 non-linear editing systems while sound design students use four Digidesign Pro Tools Mix workstations and finish on a 96-input Solid State Logic Axiom digital re-recording console (a first in the academic world). There is also a well-stocked equipment room of traditional filmmaking essentials-lights, dolly's, C-stands and much more. Students build sets on the sound stages and film on location around Los Angeles.
Classes begin every two months and will begin starting monthly in the near future. Class size ranges from 30 to 60 students. The school faculty is comprised of working filmmakers who take time between projects to teach at the school.
The school teaches Producing, Directing, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Sound Recording and Design and Screenwriting.
LAFS is recognized as one of the top film editing schools in the country.
