Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy

When training for your dream job, all too often the gap between learning and doing is interminably large. In its venture with Robert De Niro’s global media company Tribeca Enterprises, Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy is able to close that gap by immersing students in the actual experiences they’ll face in the professional arena. The academy’s intensive two-year program is helmed by seasoned educators and real media industry professionals who expose students to real-world tasks and industry-standard equipment from their very first semester on campus. The ACICS-accredited college splits its programs among five basic fields: Film + Broadcast, Recording Arts, Animation + Visual Effects, Game + Interactive Media, and Design + Visual Communication. The school continually updates each unique curriculum to ensure students are up-to-date when it comes to the frequently changing tools, demands, and handshake conventions of the workplace.

The institution also organizes peripheral classes and camps for high school students interested in film, studio recording, animation, video game design, or graphic design. Seasoned instructors give burgeoning media gurus fun, yet practical, hands-on experience and the opportunity to work with the latest technologies in their field of interest.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Buying a Car

Buying a car is an intimidating experience. The man looks at you. He wants to sell you the car for more than it is worth. Beat the man. Beat the man until he cries with these tips:

  • Always drive the car. This will let you make sure that it is free of the five most deadly species on earth and that it has a floor and the dealer isn’t Flintstone-ing you (a technique wherein the dealer sells you a car with no floor named after Flint Stone, an early dishonest car salesman).

  • Immediately list everything you hate about the car. It has a nick here, a dent there. It is the same color as your rival’s eyes. You looked at them in a field. You were the last man to look at those eyes. Your rival sold you a lemon. He is gone.

  • When the dealer says the price, scream. Oh, scream until your nose bleeds and all of creation fears your machinations. Oh, scream your voice raw, honey. Good heavens!

  • Ride away on your bicycle. This was good practice for when you really decide to buy a car.

Be sure to scream as fiercely as a newborn babe or warrior brave. Scream with all your grit, sweet honey.
