+ | is a three strikes system in place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * First time late results in a written warning and possible docking of department privileges by the Equipment Center Managers. | ||

+ | * Third time late results in a loss of privileges for the remainder of the semester. After a 1 week dock, you may not reserve any department equipment or facilities. They may be used on a walk-on basis only. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''There is a $25 fine for each day equipment is late. Starting on WEEK 12, the late fee will be increased to $75 per day (this is to ensure that we have all the equipment that students reserved at the time of pickup).''' | ||

+ | and you must surrender your School ID while you edit. | ||
+ | |||

+ | '''We will not accept Ventra Cards, State IDs, Credit Cards, Gym Cards, Key Cards, or | ||
+ | any other type of card ID. If you don’t have your Columbia College ID, you will not | ||
+ | be allowed to edit.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you fail to check in, we will assume that you are not here and your time may be given | ||
+ | away. Any student who uses equipment without signing in with the Equipment Center will | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''DO NOT''' prop any doors open, this includes editing suites, computer labs, and | ||
+ | classrooms. This will assist in the protection of your fellow students, their personal | ||
+ | belongings, and equipment. A work-aide will be happy to let you into the room in the | ||
+ | event you have to leave temporarily. If you prop any door open, you will lose your time. | ||

+ | books, purses, backpacks or other personal items left in the labs, suites, or classrooms.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Walk On == | ||
+ | Once a student signs up for the limit of camera, edit, dub, or lab time in a week, additional | ||
+ | time is available on a '''“Walk On”''' basis. Walk On time is limited to increments equal to | ||
+ | your usual class allotment but can be used as often as it is available. Students must | ||
+ | check with the Equipment Center and use whatever unit is available at that time. This equipment, edit, dub, or lab time is not counted against your reserved time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Media Storage Disclaimer== | ||
+ | '''It is necessary for all students to keep copies of their work, and to back up all work from departmental storage and servers, in the computer labs and studio. You are responsible for the saving, archiving, and preservation of all your work created while you are a student. There are no permanent archival or digital storage facilities in the department.

+ | program on certain designated days, and times. There are reservation sheets for the | ||

+ | advanced editing. This is a great way to get the extra help you may need at any time | ||
+ | throughout the semester. | ||

+ | Some equipment, such as the Kessler Crane and Zacuto Stinger, may require special | ||
+ | certification for access. Sign up can be done through the TV Cage. Certification training is | ||

Saturday | 9:00am - 5:00pm | 4:30pm cut-off time |
Sunday | 10:30am - 6:00pm | 5:30pm cut-off time |
Equipment Return Procedure
When returning equipment, students must be present for check in. Once again, allow up to a 1/2 hour for check in (this would be a good time to tell us of any issues you had with the equipment). Everything must be returned at the same time. Partial return of equipment WILL NOT be accepted. If something has gone missing, you will be charged for its replacement. If something is damaged that wasn't noted during checkout, you will be charged for its repair. Equipment that is left at the Equipment Center WITHOUT doing a proper check-in will be considered LATE & may result in possible loss of privileges.
You must return the equipment & have it checked back in first in order to see if you can
check out the equipment again. There are NO extensions over the phone.
Penalties
Returning equipment late will result in loss of equipment usage and fines. There is a three strikes system in place.
- First time late results in a written warning and possible docking of department privileges by the Equipment Center Managers.
- Second time late results in being docked from all department equipment and facilities for one week, and only being allowed to use all facilities in an in-class environment.
- Third time late results in a loss of privileges for the remainder of the semester. After a 1 week dock, you may not reserve any department equipment or facilities. They may be used on a walk-on basis only.
There is a $25 fine for each day equipment is late. Starting on WEEK 12, the late fee will be increased to $75 per day (this is to ensure that we have all the equipment that students reserved at the time of pickup).
Editing, Audio, & Computer Facilities Procedures
You are required to provide your own external hard drive or Solid State Drive. The type of drive you use should have the following:
- At least either one USB 3.0 or USB-C port (we don't provide cables)
- Have a read/write speed of 7200 RPM
- Bus - Powered (no power supply needed)
- At least 500GB of storage space
- Drive should be formatted to either exFAT (if you plan to use on both Windows & Mac computers) or Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
The Department uses Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019. The department also has Avid Media Composer.
Students who are in a TV production class that requires the use of a computer (you will be told in class what you can use) may sign up for time in our computer labs either in person at the TV Equipment Center, or calling over the phone".
Students must check in with the Equipment Center before your editing, dubbing, or lab time, and you must surrender your School ID while you edit.
Students who arrive 15 minutes late for their assigned time will lose that time. If you are going to be late, call and let us know. Other students can walk-on and use the time if you do not call.
We will not accept Ventra Cards, State IDs, Credit Cards, Gym Cards, Key Cards, or any other type of card ID. If you don’t have your Columbia College ID, you will not be allowed to edit.
If you fail to check in, we will assume that you are not here and your time may be given away. Any student who uses equipment without signing in with the Equipment Center will be ejected from the facility. All students must check out (and retrieve your School ID) when finished editing.
NO EATING, DRINKING, or SMOKING is permitted in any of the editing suites,
computer labs, or classrooms at any time. If a student is caught doing so, they will be
asked to leave their current session. Repeat offenders will be docked.
DO NOT prop any doors open, this includes editing suites, computer labs, and
classrooms. This will assist in the protection of your fellow students, their personal
belongings, and equipment. A work-aide will be happy to let you into the room in the
event you have to leave temporarily. If you prop any door open, you will lose your time.
Repeat offenders will be docked. The Cinema and Television Arts Department are not liable for your media,
books, purses, backpacks or other personal items left in the labs, suites, or classrooms.
Walk On
Once a student signs up for the limit of camera, edit, dub, or lab time in a week, additional time is available on a “Walk On” basis. Walk On time is limited to increments equal to your usual class allotment but can be used as often as it is available. Students must check with the Equipment Center and use whatever unit is available at that time. This equipment, edit, dub, or lab time is not counted against your reserved time.
Media Storage Disclaimer
It is necessary for all students to keep copies of their work, and to back up all work from departmental storage and servers, in the computer labs and studio. You are responsible for the saving, archiving, and preservation of all your work created while you are a student. There are no permanent archival or digital storage facilities in the department. Please back up all projects created on departmental computers or studio servers to your own personal hard drives or computers in a timely faction. The Television Program does not guarantee the preservation of any student projects or materials.
Tutoring
One-on-One Tutoring is available. The equipment center offers a student-tutoring program on certain designated days, and times. There are reservation sheets for the scheduled sessions that range from help with field equipment to help with basic and advanced editing. This is a great way to get the extra help you may need at any time throughout the semester.
Some equipment, such as the Kessler Crane and Zacuto Stinger, may require special certification for access. Sign up can be done through the TV Cage. Certification training is on a limited basis and for students who have had certain classes. For more information, talk to the manager.
