Hey Buusey! Any idea how many students in your year were taken off the waitlist? Trying to make the decision whether or not to stay on the waitlist but everything is still up in the air with other programs.
Hey Buusey Been admitted to the program but with everything going on in the world, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to commit this year because so much is up in the air. Do you think that is something they would be understanding of? Who would be the best person to speak to about this?
Hey Buusey,
Wondering what some examples of courses are in the first year? All the information I can find mentions the 2 minute film project, the 7 minute digital film, and so forth, but can't find how courses are specifically structured (course titles, professors, # of people, etc)
Thank you for doing this!
Sorry just now getting to these! It's been crazy in NYC!
Hey! I'm sure it varies a good amount year to year but I know of at least ONE person in my class who got off the waitlist. I'd say once you have everything in front of you, including financial aid, to make the decision then, especially if you're really keen on joining us at Tisch. Good luck with the decision!
Hey, this is something I probably can't answer since so much is up in the air, including how long NYC will be essentially shut down. I'd really wait to see how things play out in the next few weeks to make your decision but otherwise, I don't think they encourage people taking a year off at the start but it's not entirely unheard of.
Hey, you can see specific courses here: Albert Login under Public Course Search. You can find the Graduate Film curriculum there! For the first year, we take ~9 classes per semester, each class meeting once per week and range from 2 - 4 hours. But all your fundamentals are included, from producing to directing to aesthetics to acting. Some classes have about a third of the class while others (more lecture oriented classes) are the entire class.
Feel free to ask anything else!
Hey @Buusey, hope you're hanging in there man. I left NYC myself and went back home to Oregon to finish out my undergrad remotely from here. I can't imagine the disappointment for MFA students though. Film production from afar just doesn't sound quite the same...
My question is this:
Understanding that anything you know about USC is only from what you've heard, thus far in your experience at NYU what do you feel NYU Grad Film offers a student that USC might not? And vice versa, what did you ever feel was lacking at NYU that you suspected USC might do better?
Thanks in advance.
Hey @Buusey! Just curious how you guys are finishing the semester with everything going on? Have student productions been postponed for now?
Hopefully it won't be terribly long before you guys can get back into production. Have your classes themselves changed a lot now that they are virtual? I was under the impression that a lot of the classes involve filmmaking exercises and I wonder if the classes are structured differently now.Hey, I'm pretty sure every other school is in the same boat-- all productions have been postponed. We were literally a week away from shooting too
They'll be made up at a time TBD. Online classes for the time being.
@Buusey I'm thinking of putting together an article on the site on something like "Film School in the time of COVID" to help current applicants and people who may be attending schools in the fall. I'd love to be able to interview you (or one of the site's writers will) about how the pandemic is currently affecting you at the school and what the school's plans are for the fall if any. Would this be something that you're interested in?Hi folks, good luck to everyone applying this year. Just wrapped up my first semester. AMA.
All in all, amazing experience. I know these next ~2 months can be a waiting game and quite excruciating but take this time to just relax, maybe get a little writing done here and there, wrap up any loose ends, etc.
