The timeline for each Filmmaking Central Lab varies. Be sure to check in the Lab description to determine if the timeline of each lab fits within your individual schedule.
Look, we aren't here to tell you how to live your life. The Labs are designed in such a way that you get out of it what you put in. You aren't required to complete the assignments or participate in the live classes or be active within the community.
That being said - if you really want to succeed and get the most out of this investment, we highly recommend that you complete all of the assignments and remain active in the community by posting questions, sharing your work, receiving feedback, and participating in the live classes.
The main equipment that you'll need is a computer. This is how you'll access the Lab materials and view the lesson videos. This is also where you'll have access to the community and the live classes.
You can complete all of the assignments with just a mobile phone and free apps. However, if you have access to equipment and software including cameras, lighting, a tripod, microphones, Final Draft, Davinci Resolve, Adobe CC, etc, we don't limit what you can use to complete the assignments.
I want to reiterate - no special equipment is required to complete the Labs other than a computer with internet.
You will have access to the community and Lab videos and materials for life. If you can't fit it into your schedule now, don't worry, you can complete it on your own timeline.
