The following rules will be enforced without exception: All classes and productions are mandatory. In order to succeed in this program, you must come on time to class. It will be almost impossible to catch up on any missed work. Filmmaking is collaborative; therefore you must demonstrate a professional respect for the equipment and the people you are working with. All film projects require pre-production outside of class. If you require any help at all during the program, please contact the office. EQUIPMENT: THE NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY maintains an excellent ratio of equipment to students. Nevertheless, when students are irresponsible about returning equipment on time, the other students’ productions suffer. The ARRI-S, DVX 100A, HVX-200, ARRI-SR, and PANAVISION cameras you will be using are valuable pieces of equipment. You must take responsibility for their safe and timely return. 1. DO NOT LEAVE EQUIPMENT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SECOND!! When taking a break, do not leave equipment in a car, even in the trunk. You must take the equipment with you, or have a crewmember stay to monitor the equipment . When taking a cab, make sure PAGE 2 all equipment is out! There have been several instances of stolen and lost equipment because students refused to heed this warning. If the rules are not followed, you will be held financially responsible for the loss, theft or damage of equipment (excluding damage due to malfunction). If no individual in a crew takes responsibility for damaged equipment (for example, for a dropped light meter), then the replacement cost will be divided among the crew. If your residence does not have a 24-hour doorman or if you otherwise feel that you do not have a secure place to store the equipment, contact the equipment room. We can make arrangements to check your equipment back in until you are ready to shoot. A hotel room is not considered safe. Do not leave equipment, money or valuables unattended in any hotel room or insecure building. If equipment malfunctions or is damaged, report it immediately to the equipment room manager and fill out an equipment repair form. 2. EQUIPMENT WILL BE CHECKED OUT TO CREWS ONLY For reasons of safety and security, you cannot check the equipment out alone. Likewise, you cannot check out equipment if your crew already has out another equipment package. When checking out your equipment, you must commit to a check-in time. Returning equipment late may result in a charge of $15 an hour, up to $200 a day. NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY | 100 E17TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003 | WWW.NYFA.EDU GUIDELINES (CONT’D) 3.

If you plan to use any kind of weapon in your film (including toy weapons), you must alert the film commission and the police precinct where you are shooting.

If you are shooting in a vehicle, keep the weapon out of sight, and make sure that any passerby understands that you are making a film. This is for your safety. 5. EQUIPMENT EMERGENCIES: 1-917-838-9339 or 1-212-674-4300 When you check out equipment, please find out the name of the NYFA staff that will be on duty. If you experience equipment problems, you may call the emergency number. Please check and double-check the problem before calling. The staff member on duty does not make house calls: s/he will not go to your location! You must meet the staff member at the school in the event the problem cannot be solved over the phone. PAGE 3 NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY | 100 E17TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003 | WWW.NYFA.EDU RULES OF THE HOUSE NO SHOOTING IN THE BUILDING (other than in-class exercises). DO NOT PLAN TO USE ANY PART OF THE NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY FACILITIES AS A LOCATION FOR YOUR SHOOT. Everyone must follow these guidelines on smoking, eating, and conduct: 1. NO SMOKING ANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING If you are caught smoking in the building, you may be dismissed from the program. If you wish to smoke, please step away from the entrance of the building. Please do not throw your cigarette butts on the ground in front of the building. 2. NO EATING OR DRINKING IN THE CLASSROOMS There are trash receptacles placed throughout the building for your trash. Please do not leave empty bottles outside the door, on the marble counter downstairs, or on the third floor by the couches. At the New York Film Academy (and at all other locations!) leave the space the way that you found it. This includes disposing of all garbage and placing chairs back in their original positions. 3. NEVER LET STRANGERS IN THE UNION SQUARE BUILDING Do not open the door for anyone—not a current student, employee, or guest of NYFA. It is better to be rude than unsafe. This is for everyone’s protection. 4. DO NOT PROP THE ENTRANCE DOOR OPEN AT UNION SQUARE BUILDING For everyone’s security, do not leave the front door open while you take a break to smoke or get air. After hours, our security staff monitors a close PAGE 4 circuit TV to observe when people need to be buzzed in. When the door is kept open, even for a few moments, unauthorized people can easily enter, inviting burglary and assault. *Many valuable items owned by students (cell phones, computers, cameras) have been stolen by strangers sneaking into the building. Do not let this happen to you or your friends! 5. NO BIKES, SKATES, OR SKATEBOARDS ARE ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING 6. DO NOT SLEEP (OR PLACE EQUIPMENT OR SHOES) ON THE LEATHER COUCHES ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF OUR UNION SQUARE BUILDING 7. NO CASTING NOTICES POSTED ON THE FRONT DOORS Unauthorized people have used casting notices as an excuse to sneak into the building. YOU MUST GET PERMISSION FROM THE OFFICE TO CAST IN ANY NYFA BUILDING. When you contact actors for a casting call, make sure to tell them to check in on the first floor. After business hours, actors must ring the doorbell outside to get buzzed in, and then must meet you on the third floor for the audition. Casting must thus be done with at least two people, so one can meet incoming actors while the other is auditioning other in the room. 8. YOU MUST WEAR YOUR STUDENT ID AT ALL TIMES THE FILM ACADEMY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REMOVE A STUDENT FROM THE PROGRAM IF ANY OF THE ABOVE RULES ARE NOT OBSERVED. NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY | 100 E17TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003 | WWW.NYFA.EDU GUIDELINES (CONT’D) What You Need To Know About Obtaining A Student Shooting Permit In order to facilitate the needs of your student films and the Mayor’s Office of Film, please make sure that you read the following information before applying for a permit. On August 13, 2008, the new rules governing the issuance of film permits by the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting went into effect. Under these rules, a permit is no longer required when a person uses a camera, tripod and any other handheld equipment, and is not asserting exclusive use of City property. A tripod is now considered handheld equipment. A permit would be required for filming if equipment or vehicles, as defined in the rule, are used or if the person filming asserts exclusive use of City property. About Student Permits: You WILL NEED a permit to shoot in public space, including streets, parks, beaches, public buildings or any New York facility, which includes all five boroughs, if the following applies: • Use of additional equipment such as, lighting gear, dolly and dolly tracks, generators, etc. • Use of weapons such as handguns, knives, swords, etc. • If you plan to have a crowd scene, need to block streets, impede pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic. • Use of NYPD Movie/TV Unit for scenes involving weapons, stunts, etc. There is a required permit fee of $300 for all film shoots that require any of the above. Other Permit Regulations: If you plan to shoot exteriors in a residential area you will only be able to do so until 11pm. If you plan to shoot exteriors in a commercial area you will only be able to do so until 12am. PAGE 6 The Mayor’s Office only has jurisdiction over the five boroughs, which DOES NOT include Westchester County, Long Island and New Jersey. You will have to contact the local township or entity that has jurisdiction over film permits. For example New Jersey has an entity called the New Jersey Film Commission who can assist you with filing shooting permits. Each municipality (e.g. Weehawken, Jersey City, Elizabeth) has their own rules and regulations. To shoot in Newark, NJ you must pay a $2000 fee. Some municipalities do not charge a shooting fee. Shooting in City Parks: In certain cases you may need to fill out the City Park Request Form on the Mayor’s Office website for permission. Most City parks will be able to accommodate your shoot without the need of filing a permit however certain Parks like Hudson River Park, East River Park, Prospect Park and Battery Park have their own internal permit offices and regulations. In some cases you must submit your paper work at least two weeks in advance of your shoot as well as pay a permit fee. For example Hudson River Park requires a $25 payment either by cash, personal check or money order. For film shoots in Central Park you must notify them where you would like to shoot, the date and time(s), equipment list, and the number of your cast and crew. This also applies to all locations you are requesting permission to use for your shoot. Student Requirements You must appear in person along with a valid NYFA ID. You must bring an official cover letter from New York Film Academy (see someone in the office) stating your enrollment and school insurance coverage. Permits will be issued ONLY to the student whose name appears on the ID and cover letter. If you do not know what is required, please check with the administrative office. NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY | 100 E17TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003 | WWW.NYFA.EDU What You Need To Know About Obtaining A Student Shooting Permit Filing Student Permits The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting is open Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9:00am - 4:00pm and on Friday from 9:00am - 3:00pm. Permits are not issued after 4:00pm (or 3:00pm on Fridays). The office is closed Saturdays, Sundays & holidays – check with office in advance. All students are advised to submit their permits Monday through Thursday before 4pm. Please make sure you fill out the Motion Picture-Television Permit and Schedule “A” and print them out before going to the Mayor’s Office. They can be downloaded online at http://www.nyc.gov/film Permits must be submitted no later than NOON at least two business days prior to the shoot. This means you must be in the office no later than 10am. The best time to file for a permit is one week before the scheduled shoot. Permits for Saturday, Sunday and Monday must be submitted by NOON on Thursday. If Friday or Monday is a Public Holiday, act accordingly. NYPD Movie/TV Unit The use of guns on set, holding traffic for shots, and the use of actors in police uniforms requires the presence of the NYPD Movie/TV Unit. Firearms MUST come from a licensed dealer and you must get a letter from the school stating your enrollment. The Mayor’s Office of Film does NOT close down city streets. If you need curb lanes for equipment or cameras or traffic held for shots, you must request Police Assistance from the Police Movie/TV Unit. The Police Movie/TV Unit does not supply security. The Police assistance is free, but must be requested in addition to the regular permit issued PAGE 7 by the film office. Make the request on the Permit application and confirm it by calling the Police Unit at (212) 486-6710 ext. 219 as soon as your permit has been issued or by 11am on the working day prior to the shoot. Police assistance for student films is only available on regular working weekdays until midnight, so plan ahead. In residential areas, you may not shoot after 11:00pm. NOTE: It is not legal for on-duty Police Officers to appear in dramatic productions, nor may you film active police equipment, including precinct houses, police vehicles, horses, etc. Do not approach local precincts looking for their cooperation. If a police officer is required, but the Police Movie/TV Unit cannot send an officer at your requested time, you may not film the scene without them. Conduct: Make sure you wear a student ID at all times. Be nice to residents, businesses and all passersby. Pick up your own trash and remove any gaff or camera tape you have on the ground. You do not have permission to obstruct pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow. You must NOT disrupt any businesses without the permission of the owners. Remember: You have to file a permit on your own if your shoot involves more or other equipment than one camera, one tripod, one boom, and mic kit (e.g. Prop guns on set, dollies, parking permits, etc.). Finally, note that the permits are issued as per onsite NYPD discretion. When in doubt, speak to Jennifer Yue in the office. Use your own common sense. NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY | 100 E17TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003 | WWW.NYFA.EDU LOCATIONS In New York City, the sky is the limit. The wide variety of diverse locales from the Cloisters to Chinatown to Wall Street, make New York City the most varied backlot in the world. Our students have shot in Madison Square Garden during Knicks games, hospital emergency rooms, the Staten Island Ferry. However, no location is guaranteed: whether you will obtain the locations you want depends greatly on your personality, persistence, and luck. Exteriors: The New York Film Academy has made arrangements by which students may obtain permits from the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting to shoot on almost any public exterior location in New York City. If you need to file a permit please be aware that you must fill out additional forms before going to the Mayor’s Office: 1. 2. Motion picture/television permit Schedule A Secondly you must obtain a letter from the New York Film Academy office stating that you are a student and your insurance is on file at the Mayor’s Office. You MUST obtain this before hand, we will not fax this letter to you. Please be aware you must fill out additional forms before going to the Mayor’s Office: You can fill out the forms online (www.nyc.gov/film) and print it out before hand. You need to be present in the Mayor’s Office before 4PM (Monday to Thursday), or 3PM (Fridays). You must bring your student ID along. You should apply for a permit at least 48 hours prior to your shoot. Interiors: To obtain permission to shoot in interior locations you must contact the location owner directly and negotiate a fee if necessary. With perseverance, most students are able to find interior locations at no charge. It is common that the location owner will request insurance. The New York Film Academy can provide you with a copy, however you must turn in the following information at least 48 hours ahead of your shoot: 1. 2. 3. Location name or owner and full mailing address Shoot dates at the location Your full name Also look out for a term called additionally insured. Specific legal wording must be entered onto the insurance form you provide to the location owner if they request to be listed as additionally insured. You can reference the insurance form included in this packet. Apartments: Most students shoot in their own apartments or in the apartment of a fellow student in their class. An alternate strategy is to look through the sublet portion of the Village Voice housing listings. You may also find this resource on-line at www.villagevoice.com Reminder: always leave your locations better than the way you found them. As always, if you have any trouble or if you are simply looking for advice please do not hesitate to ask us in the office.

Juilliard School of Music - Contact students Manhattan School of Music - Contact students Voice Over: www.voices.com Documentary Outlets: ITVS www.itvs.org IFP: Founded as a satellite program of the 1979 New York Film Festival, the nonprofit IFP has evolved into the nation’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers, and also the premier advocate for them. Since its start, IFP has supported the production of 7,000 films and provided resources to more than 20,000 filmmakers-voices that otherwise might not have been heard. IFP believes that independent films broaden the palette of cinema, seeding the global culture with new ideas, kindling awareness, and fostering activism. Currently, IFP represents a network of 10,000 filmmakers in New York City and around the world. When all is said and done, IFP fosters the development of 200 feature and documentary films each year.
