EVERY STUDENT MAKES THEIR VERY OWN FILMS!
Most other film schools do not permit each and every student to make their own films. At Confederation College each student will make their very own films as well as work on many others. Other students will ‘crew up’ to help you make your film, and YOU will crew on many other films - in a variety of positions. Learn by doing!
The Film Production Program at Confederation College (Conflix) has a brand new facility with the latest filmmaking gear for both production and post-production, with one of the best student to equipment ratios anywhere!
 
WE USE REAL MOTION PICTURE FILM!
Many ‘Film’ schools don’t even shoot on real film! At Confederation College students start shooting their own 16mm films right in the first semester! With Mac G5 non-linear editing equipment, an array of lighting equipment, dollies, sound recorders, industry-standard 16mm film cameras, darkrooms, special effects, and a big green screen production studio at your disposal, imagination is the limit.
 
HIGH DEFINITION
In Addition to using REAL FILM, students have access to Six DVCPRO HIGH DEFINITION cameras utilizing the new P2 technology (no tape!). Also, every top-of-the-line editing workstation is capable of editing and outputting full High Definition video. In second year, FILM is processed at the lab and returned to us in full 1920×1080 HD for editing. This can be output to DVD and even BLU-RAY!
 
24 HOUR ACCESS, 7 DAYS A WEEK!
Students have 24 hour access, 7 days a week to our equipment and post production facility. This facility contains over 50 excellent HD Editing Workstations, meaning virtually unlimited access with no waiting and no booking required. There is no need for students to buy their own computers or laptops. We understand that creativity often requires time and at Con College, you’ll get all the time you need.
 
As well as having directed up to 5 films upon completion of the program, you’ll have worked as a crew member on at least 12 other film productions. You’ll also make your own documentaries, commercials and even work on one of our TV shows! Each graduating student will also bring to the job market a complete “Reel” of their accomplishments and experience for a student placement at a business of their choosing. 
That’s in addition to having learned traditional photography, film history, art history, freelancing and film business, script writing, the history of music, film and video editing, sound recording and mixing, and a host of special effects and post production techniques.
 
Small classes ensure direct contact with our highly qualified, highly committed and field-experienced teaching staff. If you’re interested in this program apply early (before February 1st).
