I. General Policies and Procedures

1. The purpose of the San Francisco Art Institute Film Checkout Office is to provide equipment for all classes and students enrolled in classes for the Fall 2011/Spring 2012 academic term. All classes have priority for equipment/studio reservations over individual students.

2. Students wishing to check out equipment who are not currently enrolled in an classes for the Fall 2011/Spring 2012 academic term but are still registered at SFAI must have successfully completed a equipment certification and have a slip on file. SFAI alumni and non-registered students may not checkout any equipment or use any studios.

3. Film Student Monitors are present to uphold these policies and procedures in addition to helping facility users with equipment and facilities. If you are having problems with the equipment or are running into any other difficulties, ask for help and a monitor or staff member will try to assist you as best as possible. Please be curious and patient with student monitors, tutors and staff members. This a tightly knit community, don’t burn bridges!

4. Students borrowing equipment must have read and abide by all Film Department access policies and procedures in addition to being familiar with proper equipment use and safety measures.

5. All Film Department equipment is for use in the State of California only. Both the Film Equipment Supervisor and the Area One Manager must approve use of Film Department equipment out of State, and the student must show proof of insurance to cover the replacement cost of equipment borrowed.

6. The Film Equipment Supervisor shall make final decisions regarding any schedule conflicts, equipment use, studio use, hours of operation, etc.

7. The Film Department studio facilities have been designed to accommodate the general needs of the students it services. The staff request that NO HARDWARE and/or SOFTWARE CHANGES be made to any system. Should you need assistance, please feel free to ask an Area One Staff member who will try to assist you as best as possible.

8. Any individual may be denied use of the Film Department equipment and/or access to its facilities at any time if any misuse or abuse of any equipment, reservation privileges, and equipment use policies, improper conduct or behavior which is hazardous or disturbing to others occurs.

9. Students wishing to shoot on campus outside of a designated Film Studio must clear any production with the Area One Manager.

II. Equipment & Studio Certification (Training Session + Certification Exam)

1. In order to reserve or use the Film Department’s equipment & studios, all students must obtain Certified Status on every piece of equipment or studio they wish to checkout or use. This is done by a SFAI staff member and/or qualified student tutor.

2. Certified Status can be obtained after attending a Training Session and the passing of a practical, hands-on Certification Exam demonstrating knowledge of proper equipment use and function, general maintenance and safety measures.

3. Sign up during business hours at the Film Checkout Office Front Desk Training/Certification Calendar. Sessions are held Tues-Thurs during the day and you may sign up to 2 weeks in advance. (Sessions are subject to cancellation or postponement at any time in which case we will notify you as far in advance as possible by email.)

4. All certifications stop on Friday, October 28 for Fall 2011. Please plan ahead as there will be no certifications available until the next semester! (Specific equipment or studio certification sessions will vary widely daily & weekly. Please see the film checkout office Training/Certification Calendar for available sessions.)

5. After the cut-off period we will focus our attention & resources to Technique Workshops. These are not required certifications to checkout equipment. Rather these workshops are sponsored by SFAI Graduate Students who will demonstrate how to apply technical knowledge and specific techniques to their own art practice. (Please see the film checkout office Technique Workshop Calendar for available sessions after October 28th 2011)

6. All sessions are done in groups of up to (5) five students maximum per session, No Exceptions. (There will be a wait-list available next to the calendar if someone cancels.)

8. You may sign up for (1) Equipment Session and (1) Studio Session per week. Please do not procrastinate or cram sessions right before the training session cut-off of Oct. 28th 2011. This only adds strain to our limited resources and staff.

9. Certifications may be provided in class if a Faculty/Professor has arranged it with the Film Equipment Supervisor and is based on resource availability. Please ask Faculty for details.

10. Students who have been certified on a piece of equipment/studio do not need to renew certification for the duration of their time at SFAI unless they feel they need a refresher orientation.

11. If you feel you have sufficient previous experience in a specific piece of equipment from another school/job and you are a Sophomore level student or higher, you may “test out” on that item. If you do not pass the certification exam you will be require to reschedule on another day. Studio Certifications does not apply. Please see Film Equipment Supervisor for details.

VII. Using Film Studios

1. Film Studio access is 24/7 and shifts are often in (12) twelve-hour intervals, but you may stay longer if no one shows up after you. Students who arrive for their shift when your shift has ended should allow 15 minutes for you to finish.

If something in the room is not working for you, please let us know as soon as possible.

5. Remember to close all doors (they lock behind you), shut off all equipment/lights and do not leave food or drinks in any rooms. Clean up after yourself, almost all film studios are used as classrooms all day and you will be held accountable if the room is not returned to the proper orientation.

VIII. "Safety Principles" of Film Equipment Checkout

1. NEVER FORCE ANYTHING. If something you are attempting to do requires any amount of excessive force, STOP and review your methods.

2. NEVER OVER TIGHTEN. This may cause the stripping of threads and/or the use of excessive force can damage the equipment. (See Rule #1)

3. NEVER LEAVE EQUIPMENT UNATTENDED. Camera and other video equipment are prime targets for theft especially in parked cars and on San Francisco public transit systems!

4. NEVER LEAVE EQUIPMENT EXPOSED TO ANY HEAT SOURCE. This includes never leaving the equipment in the trunk of a car. Heat will damage the equipment and ruin your videotapes, so remember to remove the videotape from the camera before transporting.

5. NEVER TAKE FILM DEPT EQUIPMENT TO THE BEACH OR NEAR SHORELINES. Sand and salt air/spray can clog and damage the sensitive equipment.

6. NEVER USE THE EQUIPMENT IN "RISKY" ENVIRONMENTS. "Risky" locations are defined as, but not limited to any time of airborne devices or locations including airplanes, helicopters, skateboards, motorcycles, rollerblades, etc., anywhere near sand or the beach, and/or unsafe areas, and "remote" areas which require transport of equipment over rough terrain. Final determination of "risky" environments shall be at the sole discretion of the Area One Manager.

7. NEVER TOUCH OR ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE LENS WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE SUPPLIED CLOTH AND SOLUTION. There is a high probability of scratching and permanently damaging the lens without the proper cleaning materials. Either use the supplied cleaning materials or have a Film Checkout Monitor clean the lens for you.

8. NEVER AIM THE CAMERA'S VIEWFINDER, LCD SCREEN or LENS DIRECTLY AT A STRONG LIGHT SOURCE or LASER. This includes the sun, the reflection from the sun off an object, a strong lamp, or other lighting element(s).

9. ALWAYS EJECT TAPE, BATTERY, and CARDS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE CAMERA! Tape can become slack and ruin the tape recording heads. Battery will lose its charge and shorten its useable life!

10. NEVER PLACE THE CAMERA NEAR A MAGNETIC FIELD! The magnetic field will erase your media and damage the camera.

11. NEVER LEAVE THE SxS or SD CARDS OUT! Cards belong in the camera or card reader when in use or in the card holder, stored in the camera equipment bag. Please do not force any card into the slot, it may be backwards or upside-down. These cards are precision instruments that can be damaged very easily if not handled correctly. Data loss is possible for you or the next person checking out the card in the future.
