These include:

• Two ample studio spaces
• Screening facilities with seating for 90+ students
• Virtual production wall
• Kit and prop rooms
• Edit suite
• Dedicated post-production zone

Our Studios

At Central Film School we have two professional studios.

Studio A, our largest studio, also serves as a screening theatre with retractable seating and is home to our state-of-the-art Virtual Production Wall. This cutting-edge facility, powered by advanced LED volume and real-time rendering technology, pushes the boundaries of creative storytelling. It gives students unparalleled opportunities to craft immersive, visually striking narratives.

Studio B offers full Motion Capture technology, giving students hands-on experience that empowers them to create realistic, dynamic characters. This training also prepares them for the evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, where motion capture plays a pivotal role.

Both studios are fully equipped to transform into whatever the script demands, while housing cutting-edge technology that empowers students to expand their stories into the virtual world, bridging the gap between traditional filmmaking and digital innovation.

Bertha Dochouse Archive and Library

Through our partnership with Bertha DocHouse, the UK’s first dedicated documentary cinema, CFS hosts a curated archive of documentary DVDs, filmed Q&As and more in our newly refurbished library.

It's a dedicated on campus resource to fuel your research, pitching and practice while at Central Film School.

Post-Production Zone

Our Post-Production Zone was fully upgraded in 2023 to reflect the latest industry standards and workflows. It provides everything you need to take your projects from start to screen all in one place. With dedicated edit bays, a professional colour grading suite, animation facilities and a sound recording studio, you’ll have access to the same tools and technology used in professional post houses. Whether you’re editing short films, experimenting with VFX, building animation, or mixing immersive sound, the Post-Production Zone is designed to support your learning and help you develop the skills to work confidently in real-world production environments.
