The school is a complete honeypot
Reviewed by: Alumni
Degree: MA/MFA
Concentration: Film and Television
Pros
  • Cheaper than some other big name film school with a good scholarship
  • Good access to equipment
  • Town is cheap to live
Cons
  • Horrible, uneducated and inexperienced faculty
  • Poorly managed equipment
  • Way too many student not from a film background
  • Poorly designed course, duplicated from undergraduate
  • Very limited talent resource
  • Bad reputation
The school is a complete honeypot, department head Donald.W Moffett has limited film production experience and has not idea how to properly guide the department. Chaos course design. Mediocre student body, most graduate student don’t have any film background experience and knowledge.
Faculties are mainly leftover from the industry who hardly been on any professional productions. Stay away, don’t wast you money and dream.

Reviewed by: Alumni
Degree: BA/BS/BFA
Pros
  • Access to pretty state of the art equipment.
  • A few outstanding professors.
  • Lots of collaboration between sound, vis effects, motion graphics.
  • Everyone is so motivated to do well, it makes you want to do better.
  • Opportunities to work on films and tv sets while going to school.
  • Connections!! Your professors are your life line so make good impressions.
  • Great school for DP's.
  • Casting department will help you cast your student films.
  • New film building has plenty of computers with AVID and protools, plus plenty of studios to film in.
Cons
  • People have their groups... it's cliquey.
  • Film students here are notorious for being pretentious and obnoxious.
  • Savannah can be unsafe, so it's important to be mindful when choosing an apartment off campus.
  • You get what you put in. The career dept. will help you only if you seek their help.
  • There aren't enough classes for producers.
  • You're screwed if the other students don't like you.
  • The cage is disorganized. You have to triple check your equipment when you rent.
  • SCAD owns everything you make using their equipment and automatically owns your senior film.
  • Tuition is on the expensive side.
I really enjoyed my time here and appreciate the foundations classes we were required to take because they trained us to become artists, technically and conceptually. It definitely played a role in our filmmaking, regardless of how much I hated Drawing 1 & 2.
