What you call up near this college in Pasadena?

Every bit I know Michael bay, Zack Snyder and Roger Avary graduated from it. And information technology has very positive reviews.

Who got in it?

Is Pasadena a nice location?

Does ACCD have connections with Hollywood studious?

Is information technology focused on Hollywood organisation of filmmaking?

What well-nigh equipment? Is it good?

Thank you for paying attending.

Art Middle is no where near the aforementioned level equally Chapman, Emerson or the other large name picture schools, just it's definitely a solid alternative. I haven't heard much, only I would assume being an fine art school that it would be more Independent in mode than Hollywoo/studio style. I wouldn't expect many connections with studios. That said if you're not too concerned with internships and things like that It'south supposed to be a skillful school and I'thou sure they give y'all a lot of freedom.

Parts of Pasadena are very overnice, other parts aren't so swell. I don't know which part Fine art Center is in. Information technology's virtually a 30 minute drive to Los Angeles from there, so you'll have a lot of Los Angeles' opportunities at your disposal.

I don't know your odds well-nigh getting into moving-picture show schools because I'm non familar with international admissions at the big film schools, merely if you lot got into USC/NYU/Emerson/Chapman/UCLA I remember they'd all exist better choices than Art Centre. That's completely up to yous, though.

I don't know your odds about getting into film schools considering I'one thousand not familar with international admissions at the large film schools, but if you lot got into USC/NYU/Emerson/Chapman/UCLA I call back they'd all be meliorate choices than Art Center. That'due south completely up to yous, though.

Thank you for very useful information.

So Chapman or Emerson take more connection with Hollywood? Are they based on indie filmaking also?

BTW, what does USC require instead of portfolio?

Cheers again.

I would say so, although neither are really connected with Hollywood the mode USC and NYU are, but only so many people get into those programs and you can't say that those are the simply two flick schools that are worthwhile. Chapman and Emerson may not take the connections the other schools have, but I think y'all'll be better prepared for a career in the manufacture coming out of at that place than ACCD, and probably ameliorate respected also. This is all 1 homo'south uninformed opinion, though.

As for USC, they require a resume of artistic work (a list of all your previous filmmaking experience, writing, interim, art, etc.) It'due south yet a sort of portfolio, but there's no DVD or annihilation needed.

This is all one homo's uninformed opinion, though.

As for USC, they require a resume of creative work (a list of all your previous filmmaking experience, writing, acting, art, etc.) Information technology's still a sort of portfolio, just there'south no DVD or anything needed.

That'southward cool. What is your acme list of picture show schools/colleges? I am but interested to hear your opinion.

Did you go in USC? What if I accept... lets say 3.8 GPA, only my Saturday and TOEFL (that'southward required for int. studnets) scores are great (+ I visit their summer loftier school program)?

I heard that Chpam was going to getting bigger and better (just similar USC), is that truthful?

What can you lot say nigh such universities every bit FSU and Academy of Art in San Francisco?

If I had to give yous a listing in a very vague sort of order, (and this might just be me) I'd say:
USC
NYU
Chapman
Emerson
UCLA
FSU
U of Texas (Austin)
Northwestern

I don't know much about other schools. Generally if your main goal would be to straight in the hollywood studio system, I'd stay away from whatsoever fine art schools, just other people have dissimilar opinions on that.

Your grades/numbers audio fine for USC, but writing samples and such play a BIG office. It's impossible to say who would arrive and who wouldnt.

I don't know much about other schools. By and large if your main goal would be to directly in the hollywood studio organisation, I'd stay away from whatsoever art schools, but other people have different opinions on that.

Thanx, NYU looks more similar art film college.

So in what college did you lot go far?

Give thanks you, I hope my resume will exist good enough for them. The don't require whatsoever short film, it sucks.

What about USC summer prgram, will it influence on my application?

NYU is still way more mainstream than what y'all'd find at Art Middle or Academy of Fine art in San Francisco. NYU is a smashing school, ane of the best.

I got into USC, I'chiliad waiting to hear on a few others. The summer program is probably a peachy idea, because even if it doesnt help y'all get in you'll come up out a better filmmaker. I think information technology probably would help, though.

I got into USC, I'one thousand waiting to hear on a few others. The summer program is probably a nifty thought, considering even if it doesnt help yous make it you'll come out a better filmmaker. I call back it probably would help, though.

Now I am not sureprised, Scorsese and Ang Lee graduated from information technology. The only problem is the coin, it's also expensive for me (everything under $40000 will exist ok). Likewise, too many students get in it, then there is too much of competition and I doubt the equipment will be often available.

Congrats!

What are your Sabbatum and GPA scores? And if I am not so experienced, will information technology hurt my application?

Slap-up, I volition endeavour to find more info about information technology's tuition. I however can't cull between NYFA and USC summertime programs.

Are students from USC allowed to send their brusk films to differnet festivals?
