Instructions

This form should be used by Producers to make a request for additional photography outside of the regularly scheduled shooting days on the crew grid. Since additional photography involves time and resources, requests will not be approved automatically. Approvals will only be granted if the time and resources are available and if students make a compelling case for why the footage cannot be shot during regular principal photography.

Indicate on the form the type of additional photography that is being requested:

  • ESTABLISHING SHOTS OR B-ROLL
    Check this box if the request is for 2nd Unit shots that cannot easily be scheduled during regular principal photography. Typically these would be for shots that need to be shot at a discrete location without the involvement of principal actors, such as establishing shots at an inconveniently place location or B-roll of events that are occurring outside the regular production window.
  • VFX PLATES OR ELEMENTS
    Check this box if the request is for background plates or other photographic elements that are needed to complete visual effects shots.
  • PLAYBACK CONTENT FOR SCREENS
    Check this box if the request is for video content that would need to be shot in advance of regular principal photography in order to be played back during production.
  • PICK-UPS
    Check this box if the request is for pick-up photography. Only BTH and MTH shows may request pick-ups and the need for pick-ups will be determined with the directing and editing faculty during picture editing.
  • RESHOOTS
    Check this box if the request is for the reshooting of a scene where circumstances beyond the students’ control resulted in footage becoming unusable. Typically, trying to solve the problem through editorial fixes will need to be explored before a reshoot is approved.
  • OTHER
    Check this box if the request is for something different than the above examples, and provide a brief description of the type of additional photography that’s being requested.

Requests for additional photography must also include the following information:

  • the exact nature of the subject content to be shot;
  • the reason why it cannot be shot with the first unit crew during principal photography;
  • the date, times, and location of the proposed shoot;
  • a summary of the equipment plan for the shoot, including any requests for school equipment;
  • the crew required for the proposed shoot, including names and signatures (you’ll need to determine how many crew members you need and you’ll need to recruit them).
  • any additional supporting documentation can also be attached as needed.

Finally, collect the signatures at the bottom in the prescribed sequence, starting with the director’s prep faculty, followed by the Area Heads and the the Associate Dean. Leave adequate time to collect these signatures and be prepared to make adjustments to the request if any faculty members raise concerns that need to be addressed.

DVD Wrap Template

DVD-Wrap-Template-2021Download (PSD)

Instructions

This is the official DVD wrap template to be used in the creation of marketing materials for FSUFILM productions. Use it as your foundation for making something beautiful and compelling!

Do:

  • Make sure to install the Steel Tongs font on your computer before starting work on the wrap. This is the font for the credit block.
  • Keep all of your layers inside the appropriate folders, so that everything remains well-organized when you deliver the final Photoshop file. Make sure all of your layers have appropriate names, so that someone else could make sense of what each layer is.
  • Take your artwork all the way to the edge of the frame. The red guide is where the wrap will be cut after printing. Keep any essential elements within the green guide, in case they are trimmed during printing. Be sure to hide the guide layer before exporting the finished wrap.
  • Adjust the color of the credits, logos, and copyright to best fit the aesthetic of your wrap concept. Be particularly mindful of the legibility of the credit block, as it can quickly become hard to read if the background is busy or if there’s not enough tonal separation between the credits and the background.

Do Not:

  • Do not adjust the dimensions or resolution of the file. It’s set up to meet the specs needed for printing.
  • Do not reposition or resize the FSU seal or FSUFILM logos.

Steel Tongs Font

SteelTongs_FontDownload (ZIP)

Instructions

Steel Tongs is the font to be used for the credit block on FSUFILM marketing materials, such as posters and DVD wraps. You’ll need to download the zip file (above) and install the font on your computer before starting work on a poster or DVD wrap, otherwise the credit block will not display correctly.

Steel Tongs works by displaying certain keystrokes as credit titles or logos. All uppercase letters, numerals, and basic punctuation symbols (periods, commas, quotes, dashes, ampersands) will display as normal. Lowercase letters, other punctuation symbols, and ALT key codes, however, are translated into different graphical elements of a credit block, as shown below.

Instructions

This is the official poster template to be used in the creation of marketing materials for FSUFILM productions. Use it as your foundation for making something beautiful and compelling!

Do:

  • Make sure to install the Steel Tongs font on your computer before starting work on the poster. This is the font for the credit block.

  • Take your artwork all the way to the edge of the frame, but keep any essential elements at least a quarter-inch from the edge, in case they are trimmed during printing.
  • Adjust the color of the credits, logos, and copyright to best fit the aesthetic of your poster concept. Be particularly mindful of the legibility of the credit block, as it can quickly become hard to read if the background is busy or if there’s not enough tonal separation between the credits and the background.

  • Do not adjust the dimensions or resolution of the file. It’s set up to meet the specs needed for printing.
  • Do not reposition or resize the logos or copyright.
