Going to film school at a Community College?

The Film School at Scottsdale Community College was an amazing experience. The second semester in - you are shooting 16mm. But what is most interesting about the school is the fact that I own everything I produced there.

  • The Equipment and Facilities information seems to imply that the school is actively using VHS and 8mm cameras.
    • While the school does have some VHS and 8mm cameras that were used in the 80s and 90s, they are not in the active inventory.
    • The school's active inventory includes 16mm, super 16mm, Panasonic P2 HD, MiniDV, and DVcam cameras.
