New York Film Academy Invests In Panasonic’s Ultra-Versatile, Solid-State HD Camcorders For Instruction And Production
Considered one of the most innovative fixtures of film education in the world, the New York Film Academy (NYFA), with campuses in Manhattan New York, Universal Studios Los Angeles, and St. Catherine’s College Oxford University England, recently purchased 12 Panasonic hand-held, production-quality AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camcorders.
NYFA workshops offer an intensive, hands-on experience that gives students the opportunity to develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible. In all filmmaking workshops, each student writes, produces, directs, and edits his own films. In addition, they each assist other members of the crew in the roles of director of photography and assistant camera person, providing all with extensive set experience.
According to the academy instructors, “The Panasonic HVX200 allows the new student filmmaker to work in the HD world earlier. The camera makes it more accessible to reach a higher-quality picture, and reduces the cost to achieve that image. And the solid-state medium challenges the filmmaker to go back to a more decisive and economical approach to shooting.”
These camcorders are supplied by Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems Co, - a unit company of Panasonic Corporation of North America. PANASONIC is the brand of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan.
