Equipment and Facility Reservations

These are just some of the items we have available for student use in the program.

       

All video, film, and audio production equipment must be reserved through our online reservation sytem; Cheqroom. All students will receive an invite to join Cheqroom within the first 3 weeks of enrolling in a qualified production course. 

For access to services and equipment provided by the San Bernardino Community College District, productions must be run by students of the Film, TV, Media Department at San Bernardino Valley College. This means students who are either currently enrolled in FTVM production courses, completed those courses, or are alumni who completed FTVM production courses and are members of the IMA Alumni program. Please see equipment that alumni may access at the bottom of this page. All other equipment is restricted to use of currently enrolled students and faculty for use of instruction and enhanced training. 

Equipment Checkout Procedures for Students:
 
1.     Students must be enrolled in a FTVM production class or a have approval from faculty chair for productions outside of standard instruction. Classes that are not production classes are FTVM 101, 102, 103, 120, and 121.

2.    All equipment requests must be submitted through  cheqroom within one week of production. NO SAME DAY RESERVATIONS.

5.     Students may check out equipment for use during the week of the production, if the production is completely on campus and is between normal operation hours. All equipment must be turned in before the equipment room is closed by the Lab Tech. This requires department chair approval in the form of a letter that must be submitted to the Multi Media Specialist. (See rule 2 for when that equipment request is due).
