Could you point me in the direction of Mr. Scharky's solution?

Muchos Gracias, Muchachos. :)[/quote]

Oh, absolutely I took it as such. As a matter of fact I was quite glad to see you mention the paradigm thread! I will return to that soon! But really, I wasnt so much responding to your comment as it being a trigger for me to say more stuff. I have no idea where the Scharky thread is, I read it a while back but will dig.

Really, I was thinking about the way things like Platinum or Respected Member stuff, and being "in the industry" and whatnot can mean to people. Its just kinda weird and funny. There are people "in the industry" here that contribute little to none as far as useful info for the rest of us goes, and there are people here like Neil that are friggin mega talents that arent "in the industry" but contribute majorly to the overall "knowledge of the board". It's like were building our own little DVX Wikipedia here. I mean look at Barry. He's not "in the industry" in the Hollywood sense, but man is he jam up in his knowledge, professionalism and willingness to share...awesome to have around so regularly.

I know this one dude, Sheridan Cleland. He was inspired to pick up a camera from a very unique place (aside from being in Point Pleasant WV...home of the Mothman!) and made the zaniest homemade movies with such a unique flavor. His group of friends must of been in some weird movie making vortex. Some lightly older guys made some fun movies like Farm Wars and Foamfinger, and Sheridan had been somewhat involved in that, and later went and did his own stuff. He just got a job directing a show on UPN in Alaska where he works on the oil slopes. Pretty neat.

Anyway, "in the industry" and being in Hollywood and being a Platinum user can mean a wide variety of things. I was just thinkin about that cause it was fun to think about.

[quote author=Amahp link=board=Offtopic;num=1105755544;start=0#0 date=01/14/05 at 18:19:04]I was wondering if there's currently anybody here working in Hollywood? [/quote]

It's over rated. And most people are underpaid.
I do it for the learning experience.

Would I recommend it to any honest person, trying to make a descent living with a 401K /roth IRA retirement plan working a 9-5 job with a family and kids?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU$K no.
 
Re: Any Hollywood people here?

So many opinions, so little experience :-[.

Pick ANY career, without hard work, no joy.

Working "in the industry" is a very lucrative, enjoyable way to make a living, and I can say that without reservation.

To all the nay-sayers, first experience things, then complain.....or not. ;)

Re: Any Hollywood people here?

LOL... I never been to Bermuda... I think I might end up missing in triangle. I was kidding about the party thing. I have a few friends down in hollywood working on some independent features. I would go down there to help them out but I don't have the time or money. I'm actually working on pre-production to our next film.

I'm just working freelance as a camera operator.

Not to worry. When the topic changes completely (like we are doing right now ;) ) the thread is dead or will die soon enough anyway... :)

I believe so. Can't go over 3 pages on a single topic... ;)
 
Re: Any Hollywood people here?

Sure you can go over three pages, but if you really REALLY want a thread to die, just pm me and ask me to post to it. That will usually do the trick.

But to answer the original question, I do not work in or for Hollywood. But I work with a couple people who do. So no big deal there, I guess. Sometimes, I even get paid. :) It seems it is a "who you know" game out there.
