Film Room Thoughts and Pictures

[alexporter]

Hi all,

We're building a film room for our volleyball and basketball programs this summer, making us the first UK volleyball program to have one so I'm look for some advice.

Firstly, if you have a film room at your school could you share some pictures. 

Secondly, what questions should I be asking, what should be my #1,2,3 priorities, if you could re-design your film room, what would you do?

We only get one short at this, any advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the progress! Very cool to hear about and hopefully you'll get plenty of ideas here.

Sorry no pictures handy, but hopefully some sound advice.

Whatever you use to display your video, make sure the ports are easily accessible, either through a dock of some type, or wire them up through the wall for an installed projector. If it's a pain to use every day, then you wont use it as much.

We've used our film room as a sort of multipurpose room. It's reconfigurable with moving tables and chairs. Gives the team a space to kill time or have team meals or whatever. Nothing too fancy at the end of the day, but we use it plenty.

It also depends on budget at the end of the day, you might be thinking more along the lines of theater seating and a big production, but that's up to you.

Good luck!
