SFFS STUDIO
The Equipment Lab at SF Film School is a professional production space fully outfitted with the latest hardware and software for VFX and CG training.
Here, students can access high-performance workstations, motion capture systems, and industry-standard tools to practice in a real-world environment.
This lab is designed to replicate professional studios, enabling students to gain hands-on experience and create high-quality demo reels and portfolios.
With 24/7 access and continuous updates, the Equipment Lab ensures that every student can push their creativity and technical skills to the next level.

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
GREENSCREEN
SFFS STUDIO
Shooting with a green screen involves filming a person or adding visual effects in front of a solid color. Then, by digitally removing or “keying out” that color, you can drop that scene onto the background of your choice in post-production. Removing the colored background is also referred to as “chroma keying.”

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
BLACKMAGIC
CINEMA CAMERA
The Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera features a 2.5K image sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, and a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. It is capable of recording 12-bit CinemaDNG RAW files at full 2.5K (2432 x 1366) resolution, as well as 10-bit Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD formats at 1080p.

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
3D SCANNER
SENSE 3D SCANNER
The Sense 3D Scanner from 3D Systems is a portable, full color, three-dimensional scanner for quickly and easily creating 3D models of real-world objects. It has a wide scan volume from small 8 x 8 x 8" items up to 118 x 118 x 118" objects. The Sense also has a convenient working distance of 15 to 60".

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
3D PRINTER
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a method of creating a three dimensional object layer-by-layer using a computer created design.
3D printing is an additive process whereby layers of material are built up to create a 3D part. This is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing processes, where a final design is cut from a larger block of material. As a result, 3D printing creates less material wastage.

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
SLIDER JIB
A jib can be used for getting high or low shots which are difficult for a hand-held camera operator to get, or shots which need to move a short distance horizontally or vertically, without the expense and safety issues of putting a camera operator on a crane for a crane shot or laying track for a camera dolly. A jib can even be mounted on a dolly for shots in which the camera moves over obstacles such as furniture, when a normal dolly shot could not be used.

SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
BOOM MICROPHONE
A boom mic has a highly directional polar pattern and it is positioned at the end of a boom pole. These mics are staples in film and video. They are highly directional (pick up sound where they point to and reject off-axis sounds). Boom mics are often held by an operator, which make them movable during a performance.
