Film Equipment Room – If you are enrolled in a course that has supported media assignments or sanctioned creative projects, the resources available to you will be communicated in those courses. Typically, instructional resources and facility support begins with skills courses and increases as you advanced to production and/or studio courses. The Film and Mass Media Program does not lend production equipment out to students for personal projects that are not prompted by an instructor-of-record as part of an enrolled course, study, or thesis.
Students who are looking for equipment for personal projects, or if they have an assignment for a course that does not have production equipment support, can turn to the following university resources available to all students at UCF:
- LibTech Desk at UCF Library – Provides free technology lending services to all students. This includes DSLR cameras, lenses, camcorders, microphones, laptops, iPads, and other miscellaneous A/V equipment. Their facility is located on the third floor of the John C. Hitt Library.
- Student Support Desk – Located in both Technology Commons II and Classroom Building I, the Student Support Desk offers free technology checkout services. This includes Apple MacBooks, Dell laptops, iPads, Microsoft Surfaces, GoPros, Centiq tablets, and adapters.
