What Makes Our Camps Different
|
Intensity is a hallmark of the New York Film Academy Film Camps & Acting Camps. The students eat, drink and breathe Filmmaking, Acting, or Animation in our camps from day one. The Film Camp and Acting Camp classes emphasize hands-on learning and inspire creativity. This is not a camp for passive participants. Camp students must take an active role in every aspect of the program.
The New York Film Academy is a unique educational institution, devoted to providing the most focused filmmaking, acting, and animation instruction in the world. Our film & acting camps offer an intensive, hands-on experience, which gives high school aged teens and tweens the opportunity to develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible.
New York Film Academy film & acting camp courses balance the study of the art form of filmmaking with practical experience, in order to train students to be the best filmmakers, actors or animators they can be. Each subject is taught through a combination of instruction, hands-on workshops, and immediate experience. Indeed, from day one, our film & acting camp students are behind the camera, performing in a scene, or creating a 3-D model – learning by doing.
In all New York Film Academy film & acting camps, each student writes, produces, directs, and edits his or her own films. In addition, they assist other members of the crew in the roles of director of photography and assistant camera person, providing all film & acting camp students with extensive set experience. Animation camps for teens and tweens are just as intensive and thorough.
New York Film Academy film & acting camp students are not lost in large classes. As an explicit policy, the Film Academy limits camp class sizes, making individual attention and interaction among camp students and instructors possible. We strive to create an environment that promotes personal development and learning over competition. This nurtures a supportive, positive atmosphere contusive to the level of collaboration required to make a great film or create a great performance.
Film camp directors are confronted with a number of visual, dramatic, and technical challenges. Acting camp students face the awesome challenge of bringing these stories to life by creating living, breathing characters. 3-D animators must create an imaginary world and characters of their own design. The Film Academy encourages camp students to work through these challenges; to empower film & acting camp students to artfully tell their stories.
The New York Film Academy High School Workshops demand hard work, discipline, and maturity. Film & Acting camp students must be self-motivated and able to work with others. Our workshops are not for everyone, but for those up to the challenge, they are extremely rewarding. Above all, the film & acting camp student must have a sense of adventure and a willingness to break through limitations.
We invite you to visit any of our film & acting camp locations when in session, and sit in on one of our classes at any time to see if it is right for you.
