Raw film stock is logged out by you and only you with your ID in the Film Cage.
The film department does not sell film or SD-Cards to students directly.
Be sure to get a film processing sticker when you pick up your raw film. Without it we will not process your film. If you have a short end, bring in the unused portion when you come in to log your film for processing at that time we will give you a processing sticker for the unused portion.
Students requiring special processing or printing should check with Cage managers before turning their film in. An additional charge may be required for special processing needs.

We transfer film to video in-house for classes finishing digitally. Film classes will drop their film off in the Film Cage for processing and then pick up the files on the 6th floor MIP Center, Rm. 607-F.
Students needing to transfer to video for projects outside of class will have to do so independently. Columbia will not be responsible for transferring non-class related projects.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

No equipment should be left unattended in a vehicle or on location. Any loss, theft or damage to any equipment is the sole responsibility of the student.
Never portray action using prop or real weapons in public. You will put yourself and your actors in danger and face possible arrest if you do.
Sand from beach locations can harm the equipment. Do not shoot on beaches or near sandy areas without consulting facility staff.
