I was in the Sound Recording and Audio Engineering batch of 2010 at CRAFT Rohini Delhi. I want to share my bad experience with you. First of all the equipment at CRAFT sucks. Most of the time it is out of order and if you complain to the director Mr. Naresh Sharma, he starts barking like a dog at you and avoids the real issue. He does not even have enough staff as he keeps telling his students to take the equipment to the company and get it rectified. He does not have good contacts in the film industry. In fact he has no contacts with the good film production houses in Mumbai. The batch before me, i.e. sued him for not completing the syllabus. He was taken to consumer court for not covering relevant topics in the class. I have myself seen cops coming to CRAFT. He uses abusive language all the time. He never encourages his students. The direction batch of 2011 shot their projects with a mic that did not even have a windshield. The sound quality in their projects was totally messed up. They could not show their projects to anyone because of this reason. The direction batch complained that his so called library (which is by the way just two shelves of books) did not have a single film direction book. Also the editing faculty Mr. Juneesh Kuriachan does not know Avid software and he is teaching this software. The cinematography students from all the 3 batches have never seen an Arriflex camera at CRAFT. All feature length films are shot on Arriflex. CRAFT is a waste of time and money.
