THE CAMPUS
Equipment and materials
The school provides students with the materials needed for the practical work and exercises in the different subjects, as set out in their programmes.
Cameras and accessories
At ESCAC, you don’t learn how a camera works from a distance: you use it, shoot with it and learn to choose the most suitable one for each project. Here, the teacher isn’t the only one who gets to handle the camera: you do. Whether it’s an ARRI, a Sony digital cinema camera or 16 mm or 35 mm film, at ESCAC the camera will never limit your project.

A wide range of brands
Lenses
In a digital world where images are becoming increasingly similar, cinema lenses are what make the difference. At ESCAC, we work with lenses from Cooke, Zeiss, Kowa and Schneider, in spherical or anamorphic formats, both zoom and prime. We know that vintage lenses are unique and irreplaceable, giving images their character—from the Cooke S2 lenses used on Casablanca to the Zeiss B-Speed lenses used by Scorsese on Taxi Driver.

Camera supports
If a shot calls for movement, you have the equipment to achieve it. Tracking gear, dollies, stabilisers, Easyrig vests and even a 5 m crane. Professional equipment so that camera positioning or movement won’t be an obstacle to any project or idea you want to explore.

Dollies
Sound equipment
Recorders, microphones, wireless systems and synchronisation equipment from Zaxcom, Sound Devices, Sennheiser, Schoeps and DPA. Everything you need to go out and shoot—and discover that getting good production sound involves rather more science than it might seem.
