One thing that you wish you would've gone to film school for?

I guess to shoot on 35mm film but then again, the money you spend on film school you can shoot for months with a rented arriflex.
One of my new years resolutions is to start renting a 35mm and shoot something.

How to edit 35mm without a telecine ?

It can be done without breaking your bank:

It's hard to build a team that's got the very same intentions as you and will believe in the content you want to create.

Dude. You're in Los Angeles and are having problems ? If you can't make it there .....

Half of users seem to be based out of L.A. With all of these DVXFest's going off every few months why haven't you volunteered your ass on these projects ?

Contacts.

Yeah that's what I am planning to do.

No offense, but it seems you've been planning to do it for about a year now. Don't you own an HVX200 ? Get your ass out there and start making movies and stop making excuses. I aint preaching. I speak for myself as well. I took 2 months off from this place purely just to unplug and refind some fire. It worked.

I'm shooting this week and cannot wait; I'm nervous, excited, stoked.
Film School

I know Isaac is really enjoying his venture into film school; shooting on 16mm and he's at the mother of all film schools (Tisch - NYC) so I can imagine the wave of film theory one would be getting there. I would like to have gone purely for those 2 reasons.

But I too have zero degree and it comes down to those who do and those who don't. At one time you have too make a decision to do it. Are you committed ? Are you afraid ? Are you just plain lazy ?

Good work is good work, yeah. But, in this industry good work isn't always what gets to the top

I disagree. You make a project that kicks ass and its going to get noticed. Are there any true filmmakers out there not being noticed ? The talented will be found; unlike traditional art or musicians. Are you going to become Steven Effin Spielberg overnight ? No, of course not, but if you make a professionally caliber film (All things being equal) it will be the catalyst.

Kholi, it sounds to me like you're either afraid of failure or success. What are you waiting for ?

Make movies, not excuses.

Please don't call my Mom. I will be a good boy from now on -- :beer:

Man -- I do not want to mess with this guy!
 
I guess it depends on how you define "good work." The "good work" which gets you noticed is the work that'll sell. No one cares about clowns flipping pancakes while a rose whithers on new-fallen snow. They care about what people will be willing to pay to see -- that is, a lot of people.
 
I think you missed the point. It's a lot of money to cut "film". Video? Grab an NLE and you're mostly there.

A soccer mom can get an NLE and cut video of little jimmy at his big game.

And anyways, you don't have to cut film, you can get a high quality master for your online. You don't always have to go back to the neg.

That is true. But if you want to make it in the industry, you have to go by the industry's definition of good work, and that's "something which will make money."

It's a business, and businesses are about chasing profits. Ain't no none of us going to reinvent THAT wheel.

100% agreed and exactly what I was referring too.

Not really.

I'm not about a good story as it relates to a good film. Whether or not you like a genre or style is one thing; but good solid filmmaking is unmistakeable.

The shelves of BB are littered with B Class crap that will never be mistaken for Good
