I couldn't help myself. I have so much school pride that I decided to take a few pictures of my film school and write a little piece about it.
Enjoy!!
The USC School of Cinematic Arts is as old as Hollywood’s golden age of film but as up to date in the industry as the movie, Avatar. The school has recently been transplanted to a different location on the University of Southern California campus, not far from its original location. Hollywood movie legends George Lucas, an alum of the university and Steven Spielberg, an honorary alum of the university, have donated countless millions to the school for its recent transformation. The brand new School of Cinematic Arts id s composed of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg buildings and spans a great amount of territory and reaches four stories tall. The exterior courtyard is in the traditional university style of the 1920s, also the tail end of film’s golden age.
However, the two interior lobbies of both buildings are identical in style and are a mix between old world glamour and modern splendor what with their marble floors, sleek wooden sofas with leather cushions and high-arched ceilings. The lobbies are also adorned with testaments to its patrons with plaques that stretch across an entire wall in the Spielberg lobby. The Lucas lobby also pays its dues to those who worked to make this school great in the past. There are several elaborate display cases containing old cinema cameras used during the school’s founding. All of these beautiful antiquities come together to form a very impressive exhibit that complements the reverent style to the school’s devotion to film.
