As technologies change and new standards emerge, BAVC always offers the latest equipment and the newest software to ensure projects that come through our facility reflect the highest level of quality and students receive the most current instruction.

Hear what BAVC members and students have to say:

BAVC Students

"Two years ago I was a theater director (Artistic Director of Transparent Theater in Berkeley) who wanted to direct film. What was I to do? I turned to BAVC. I enrolled in classes in shooting, lighting and editing on Final Cut Pro. And I came out of those classes with enough crazy confidence to make a narrative feature! We shot on the DVX100a, with an anamorphic lens. "Hog Island" is the result. The film, which has a running time of 120 minutes, will have its premiere at the Sonoma Valley Film Festival on April 7 and 8. Thank you BAVC!"
—Tom Clyde, Director/Editor, Hog Island


Camera Operator"We had great chemistry with the BAVC team, and an instant fit with our company culture, which is small, cooperative, and fun. Doing our high-end finishing at BAVC didn't mean enduring a corporate stress fest. We got rigorous technical standards and client pampering, yet no extra zero on the bill!"
—Linda Peckham, Postproduction Supervisor, The Working Group



"When I work at BAVC I know that everyone cares about my project as much as I do, and they will do whatever it takes to make it the best it can be. BAVC's dedication to the indie community, combined with their technical know-how, is invaluable."
—Sam Green, Producer, The Weather Underground


"Onlining a television series to meet PBS's strict broadcast requirements is a complex process. We're in great hands at BAVC, because the people there really take care of us."
—Lois Vossen, Independent Lens Series Producer, ITVS


Preservation Suite"I'm always nervous about handling seminal master tapes like those of William Wegman and Ant Farm. But BAVC's video preservation program has gained my confidence through its meticulous, consistent trustworthiness and reasonably priced services. I entrust BAVC with the many tapes PFA preserves."
—Steve Seid, Curator, Pacific Film Archives
