Education: 7 months of ESL in Los Angeles + 7 months of lite computer programming

Job: The computer guy at a small company in LA.

I been a member of this awesome site since 01/05, don't really post much as everything else is already been discussed, so I spent my time using the search engine and getting all the answers there. I been writing since I was 12, I always loved films, worked as a PA for a few days in a feature, then did photography and AD in a short film.
After that I decided it would be cool to do something of my own, bought a dvx and decided to make a film trilogy in order to learn the craft.

I shot my first feature in a 9 day period, spent about $3500 to shoot it, best money i've ever spent (besides of course buying the dvx) it was a hell of an experience, the shoot had a lot of problems, it was everyone's first feature film but it was so much fun and we all learned a lot.

I am in the middle of shooting the second feature of the trilogy now. To make things a little more interesting, I decide to set the story in 3 different countries, El Salvador, Mexico and Los Angeles.

I am hoping to finish all 3 films by 10-07 and be a better filmmaker then.

Cheers!
 
Why does this thing keep being bumped up? It seems like everytime it manages to go away, it jumps for joy and reaches the top again.
 
true, oh well it's on top now, I may as well participate.

Name: Brandon Fraley

Age: 21

Location: Monterey, California

School: currently taking 1 or 2 classes at community college, taking it REALLY easy.

Work: I work as a web designer (amazing, considering how little I know about web design) but that ends up only being about 1-5 hours a week. Not enough to live on. Trying to do music videos for local acts.

Cinematic Ambitions: I try to do one short every semester and do music videos every opportunity i get. I try to avoid corporate work (really not my strength) but did just have a paying job shooting a bellydance video. Otherwise I'm really just getting started in my filmmaking career, started just under 2 years ago.

Hobbies: watching movies and reading/studying film and music. I play bass and drums in a couple bands. Video games. Travel.


Whats the point of doing this? :) there are so many posts, so many members, who reads this? I just read the 3 above me and that it lol
 
Jared Morgan - 26

Member since October 2005, although I was checking out the site since I owned the camera upon its release back in October 2002. Still rocking the original (can't kill a classic) I have dropped, abused, and put more dust and dirt on my dvx than I care to admit.. but it still works like the day I boght it. Best investment I ever made (along with the 1000's of dollars in accesories I now own for it. aarrggghh!!!)

Got my start shooting the first season of the Chappelle Show using the DVX. I was a dumb kid who saved every dime her had to get the camera, and at the time no one really knew anything about it, except that the image looked just like that of the Varicam. Since Comedy Central broadcasts SD, they hired me as bcam for $100 bucks a day. Man was I happy to be there!! although at the time I thought the show was gonna fail miserably! Now everyone is "Rick James.. *****"

To pay the bills I am an editor at College Sports Television in NY. Cut promos, teases, whole shows, long and short format features, etc. Final Cut at work, although I am a Liquid Edition fan.

Last year I took a 2 month journey around the US creating a show about Nissan trucks. I never posted it cause I was always self conscious about it.. but what the hell.. here it is:

And my website:

Not married. Serious GF who just joined the Army cause she hated her job. Now we are both in the service. I love shooting, although I must say I am SERIOUSLY humbled by all of the talent on this site. I study everyone's posts and projects to learn what I can for my upcoming shoots, and appreciate everyone's hard work!
 
Im 21 today+my first post, I work in a cinema. And I just bought my first Dvx100b yesterday!Ill be shooting my short film very soon.:thumbup:

Oh wow, never knew the people behind the names...

My name is actually Matt. My ex called me Matty, her friend decided it would be cute to call me Mattykins, thus the name...

Single still after a (very) rough breakup last year.

19 and an intern whore.

Never worked with a DVX, but worked with 16mm, super 16, HV20s, consumer cams, and my personal favorite...the Panavision HD-900F

Worked for A&E for a bit, and Beauty and the Geek (for casting).

Current Student at Ithaca College for Cinema Production.

4 completed feature screenplays, numerous shorts.

Wrapped my second 16mm shoot this weekend actually. Waiting on the telecine from the lab.

And looking to work as a director/DP in the future sometime. Working on putting a feature film together to go into production next summer.
 
my name is Adam, I'm also freakin tall, 27 years old

worked at Kinko's for 7 years (asst mgr at Copley Square in Boston)

Played in a band called Arcoda and in 2003 we recorded a record with Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Levon Helm of The Band on drums. It was named in a few top 10 lists by some newspapers and radio stations.

Graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Music Industry and had absolutely no idea what i wanted to do.

Then I watched Big Lebowski, fell in love with movies, quit the band, and bought my first video camera in 2004. Since then I've watched about 500 movies a year.

Started making shorts and won third place in Sci-Fest with A Brief Case which was then accepted by the Boston Int'l Film Festival.

Six months ago I quit Kinko's and now i write and direct local TV commercials with my brother Evan (23) for an ad agency called Mt Mansfield Media. We've made about 40 spots so far.
