London Facilities

Students on accredited courses are trained on cameras including the Sony Z90 and the Sony FS7, with those electing to specialise having access to Arri Alexa Mini. Non-accredited courses work with the Sony Z90 and the Sony FS7 dependent on delivery. A range of grip equipment, including flatbed dollies, skateboard dollies, and carbon fibre sliders are available to all of our students.

Lighting training across courses is synced with trends in the industry focused on modular systems and sustainability. Aputure and Aputure Amaran LED lighting systems are supported by an array of industry-standard tungsten fixtures such as Dedos, Arri 650s, Arri 1K, Arri 2K and Kinos.

Stage 5 at our London campus is also rigged with SUMOSPACE lights, who hold substantial credibility within the film and television industry.

Equipment includes Zoom H6 with advanced sound training on accredited courses on Sound Devices MixPre 6ii. Mic systems range from RODE NTG3 and MKH416 to Sennheiser G3 RX/TX systems.

Our grading/editing suites provide a fantastic platform for the creative process. All suites have high-performance workstations and colour-accurate grading monitors. The suites support Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid and Davinci Resolve allowing us to conform, effect, and finish to the highest standard.

Our Sound suite is equipped to support editing, recording, and mixing with a dedicated Voice Over booth.

Our dedicated grading theatre is fitted with a high-gamut digital projector and grading monitors capable of supporting HDR workflows.

Our advisors and production facilities team offer a range of cameras, lighting, and sound equipment to support student projects. Experienced industry tutors and advisors help students to select the most appropriate resources across a range of platforms, including film, television, and new media.

The Learning Space is a dedicated study space at our Ealing Studios campus, where students can come together to study, collaborate with friends, and access library resources. Resources and support from the Learning Space Officer are also available both in-person and online.
