You’re starting a film school where??

Veteran filmmaker Tony Papa has been collaborating with several industry professionals over the last year to open a film school in Powell River, BC, and opening day is 1 week from today, Feb. 4th, 2008! I was bestowed with the privilege of designing the school's HD production workflow, and will also be teaching the post-production course.

We decided to go with 3 Canon XH-A1 cameras and 5 of Apple's latest Quad-Core Mac Pros for the basis of our workflow. Students will learn all steps of the filmmaking process, from both aesthetic and technical perspectives, gaining the necessary knowledge to use technology as storytelling artists. Accomplished, talented writers, cinematographers, editors and other crew will present an exciting, rewarding introduction to the film world. Students then have the opportunity of guaranteed admission to Capilano College if they should choose to further pursue film studies. Roll sound... roll camera... and action!
