Well-known member
I'd like to get into motion graphics, film editing, and 3d animation. Anyone have any recommendations?
 
I got a BFA from UL Lafayette.... my "concentration" was film/digital media


and as soon as I graduated I got an $80,000 a year job with sick benefits, a super badass company car, a SMOKING HOT secretary chik..... and all I do is tinker around on FCP and surf the web

one of the statements is far far from the troof

You don't tinker on FCP?
 
lol i doub that.

i did an audiovisual school here in holland but it was so basic i could have learned more by browsing dvxuser for a week :D

:(
 
get rich by being a filmmaker? yes, it happens.

theres no magic formula though.... just work your ass off

Darren Aronofsky had to start somewhere.... as did Kubrick, Godard and every other single director on the face of the earth..... learn as much as you can about all the different aspects of the game and proceed to work your ass off making your cool/funny/groundbreaking ideas a real, tangible thing (ie: a film)

thats the skinny of it IMO
 
True, but the mantra - film is 90% luck and 10% talent still holds true. If any of those directors hadnt been in the right place at the right time, they'd probably be nobody's right now...

But if they did't have their 10% talent part when they had the opportunity it wouldn't have mattered. So it seems you have to work your a$$ off and have something to show AND something ready to go to allow yourself to be able to take hold of that lucky break. That's how I look at it. I will be working with my nose to the grindstone. Making my shorts and maybe a feature, meeting lots of people, always having a professional work ethic and making sure I never lose my sunny disposition (okay maybe I have a partly sunny disposition with a chance of showers). And the more you do, the more the chances that an opportunity will come your way. So I don't see it as luck but paying your dues. Not as chance but inevitability.
