Tapeless camcorders chosen by West London film school
Met Film, based in Ealing Studios, is comprised of a film school, a feature film production company, a post-production facility and a creative agency. The company recently
purchased fourteen JVC GY-HM700 and two GY-HM100 camcorders for use throughout its facility. Russell Stopford,
Managing Director, Met Film Creative & Met Film Post, explained why the company chose JVC’s solid state camcorders and how they have assisted with their
teaching. 
“Giving students the chance to use a professional industry leading camera was important for us. It offers our students experience using cameras that they are likely to use
later on in their careers in the film and TV industries. At Met Film we are constantly raising the technical and creative bar, creating a world-leading centre of digital filmmaking
excellence, and our partnership with JVC – using their cameras and high-end monitoring – is another example of that.”
Met Film School’s practical filmmaking courses are taught by industry professionals, placing emphasis on small classes and practical teaching methods. Met Film is also unique in the
fact that its students can gain real world experience in-house, in its own production, post-production, consulting and creative divisions. 
“We were especially impressed with the GY-HM700, as it really is a filmmaker’s camera,” Russell reveals. “It is perfectly weighted and feels very comfortable on the shoulder,
while the interchangeable lenses give us the flexibility to work with a range of other lens options too.”
“Both camcorders offer exceptional picture quality, which gives the students some great footage to work with on their projects. The workflow when using the camcorders is
fantastic, as they record .MOV files that can be edited straight away using our Final Cut Pro editing systems. As the SDHC media cards used by the cameras are relatively cheap,
students can afford to buy them as backups too. This also helps reduce the amount of storage space needed.”
Met Film
School is sponsoring this year’s MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival and, as part of its involvement, students will film the event and its sessions
exclusively using JVC’s GY-HM100 and GY-HM700 cameras. “Our students are very competent,” Russell concludes, “and I know they are looking forward to tackling the TV festival
with the new cameras.”
