nykvist_fan Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I have a little cousin in NY who wants to get into filmmaking, but doesn't want to go back to college for another degree. Has anyone had an experience with the NYFA? Or other intensive cinematography programs in U.S. Opinions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Worked with a NYFA graduate Director this weekend. He seemed to have a good sense of the basics, but they did not teach him what the Martini Shot was. I think he should get a 50% refund for that omission ;) -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painfulcrash Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 heheh .. maybe %10 money back is more fair. does anyone know who coined that : martini shot or is it a mystery among other terms in film bussiness. i love this combination : "can you please put the baby on the stick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 OK, well maybe NYFA owes me a Martini or two for supplementing their curriculum ? The important thing is he wrote my check upon wrapping & it cleared. Give that graduate an A :D -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabellator Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I am currently attending NYFA. I have to admit, it is a very serious school, with some incredible teachers. The equipment we work with is remarkable for beginning students. The only complaint I have is my classmates. The school does not screen incoming students, so there is always the possibility of ending up with people who are, shall we say, below par? Still, someone who wants to take control of their education has every tool given to them at this school. I highly recommend it. Oh yeah, and I DO know what a martini shot is. -JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
