I was on the news for me and my filmmaking (check it out)

pfft. you would think for a film maker you could of recorded it better.


Just kidding dude. way to rep'
 
Heh heh... or was it fee-ulm-myee-kerr? :)

Congrats, Ramsaur... (I was surprised to find that is your last name; I thought it was a prehistoric ram). :)

i shutter at the word filmmaker or just film in general when speaking of digital movies though, that camera doesnt look like it shoots on film.

I completely agree, like when someone says "footage" or "did you film that" or "are you going to film that" when they talk about DIGITAL.

the only exception for "filmmaker" and "film" for digital can be if it's being output onto actual film, 16, 35, 77mm, doesn't matter, as long as it's output to film, then i can let it slide.
 
Don't you think it's time for a paradigm shift?
Is Sin City not a film? What is it a video?
Are Robert Rodriguez, George Lucas, and Stephen Speilberg no longer "filmmakers?" (maybe RR & GL aren't the best examples but you get me)
All the definitions I just looked up for "filmmaker" were synonymous with "movie maker" as a primary definition and made no mention of the media on which the movie was shot.

Most writers no longer write by hand but we don't call them typists or word processors.

MY 2¢ ...

If you are telling stories visually and working with narrative - then you are a filmmaker.

I am a filmmaker that shoots hi-def digital video. I would resent being called anything else. What would you call me? A videographer? I've invested to much time, money, passion, and sacrificed too much personally to not resent it if someone suggested that I was not a filmmaker because of the tools that I use/have access to.

It's a transition period for the MEDIUM. The medium is MOVIE MAKING. The MEDIA are FILM OR DIGITAL. When people call someone like me or this kid a FILMMAKER, they are referring to the MEDIUM not the MEDIA.
 
yeh, i'm saving up right now for a DVX100 or just something that shoots 24p. That digital one I have is about 3 years old and is not the quality since it's digital.
