You know you are a filmmaker when you come from Star City

You know you're a filmmaker when...

You drop your kids off at school in a 15 passenger van and remind them not to trip over the jib on the way out.

Your 3 year old begs you to get out the camera dolly for train rides.

you wife says, "It costs how much? What do you need it for again? I thought you already had one of those"

the credit card company calls to confirm several large internet purchases.

you know the names of the UPS driver's children.

you think that 2 hours of sleep is enough.

you wake up with the imprint of a keyboard on the side of your face.

your Netflix queue freezes your browser.
 
- If Zacuto is naming the new wing of their building after you
- If your UPS guy is taking stereoids
- If the CEO of Schachtler is inviting you for X-Mas dinner at his house
- If the names of your kids are Letus and Brevis
- If you now all the backfocus measures for every lens on the market by heart but not your phone number

When your own girlfriend uses sex to blackmail you into getting her a part on your next film.
 
You know you're a filmmaker when you find this the single most entertaining thread you've ever read.

You know your a filmmaker when a tourist asks you to take picture with his camera, and you nod your head and start ranting:

"no, no, no, this camera's CCD is only 1/6", and with its 12 megapixel count, means that the surface area of each pixel is greatly reduced, you see reduced surface area leads to reduced sensitivity, THEN there is the issue of how well the DSP handles the debaying, not to metion that lens MTF curves and respones....."


Tourist:

"MT what?"
 
When you get paid to make films.

...

Oh, did I miss the point of what we're doing?

Sorry.

It's nice to get paid though. :thumbsup:
 
When you cast hot girls as extras, though their acting suck, you can't give them lead roles, you still put them in the film for a chance to get laid.
 
If (B)arnie and (H)erb call you at home to see how you are doing.

If your actor cancels.

Your wife won't answer your calls.
 
...when you're driving down the street at night and you can point out which street lights are tungsten or daylight rated.

...when you're having a conversation with someone and you lose your focus because you are studying the lighting on their face.
 
When, on a date, you forget to take out the c47's and the roll of black wrap from inside your car and you have to SWEAR to the girl that it's 'film' equipment...

:-)
 
...or when Spielberg calls and the conversation ends with you telling him, "hey do us both a favor and lose my number." *click*

well, maybe that just means youre an assh*le.
 
You turn up your ipod and watch people on the street as a montage.

You hate most films that make over 100 million.

You shout "back to 1" at your kids when they are not listening.

You make your wife rewind the DVD because you spotted a continuity error.
