How old and what does everyone do?

30 on October 9th
Currently work in accounting at a big law firm
Leaving at the start of next month to freelance and cut my way through the film world with my fists and my dvx
Director/Editor
No wife, no kids, no gf right now.

Have plans for several shorts and docs that will keep me busy. I'm working on a video roundup of the best NYC Pizzerias. I've seen a few short ones, but this will be the definitive one. Also working on a fencing DVD (the swords variety, not the type that keep dogs in backyards).

Looking to work with motivated, talented people. Have hooked up with several great people from right here on a several of their projects and one of my own and they were great experiences. Anyone else who needs a hand on a shoot send me a pm and we can meet.

freshman at UCSC and I work at a local art-house theater.
But as you know I have a burning passion for filmmaking and I am a writer/director and DP, and exceptional editing skills on FCP.
I too am single but definitely in the market for a girlfriend...but I am about to enter college, I will hopefully be surrounded by scores of beautiful co-eds.

I'm always filming shorts, trying to do one good one a month. And I am writing a feature.

cheers.

Spend too much time on the comp researching.
I'm not going to say I'm knowledgable in video-related things because im probably one of the least knowledgable here.

I like to think of myself as a ladies man.

From: New York City (born and raised)
School: Graduated in May, 2006 from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

I direct music videos. Been doing video one way or another for over 10 years. YES I had Premiere 10 years ago, when you needed an A/V input in the back of your power PC mac. I've had two video in the last year make international major networks including: MTV2, MTVLatin, MUN2, Telemundo, Kerrang TV (UK) etc. I don't know what i'd do if i wasn't creative. I am happily addicted to DVXuser because my good friend SINK told me about this great place! Just want to say everyone in here is great...Got some great feedback and learned alot from what people say (even though i havent reached my 100 post yet!). I READ alot but dont neccesarily post.

I come from a creative family and growing up, creativity was encouraged.

Down the line, i hope to get into doing commercials, feature films...
PEACE

Moved over from Cali 2 years ago because I went to LA with the wrong mindset, totally incorrect information, temptations that made me lose my bearings and I was surrounded by friggin vultures from the moment I got off the plane, I swear.
In cleveland I've directed two pilots for PAX, an AD for news show for Telemundo, I've done the "one man band" thing on way too many projects and pretty much learned my craft from everyone here on DVXuser and the "if at first you don't succeed" method. I'm blessed with an amazingly gorgeous wife that everyone "mistakes" for my sister at parties, and I am making my very first short film in one week.
I am a Bi-polar and a perfectionist and it makes most of the stuff I shoot look good. It's also one of the the reasons why I cant make a demo reel or set up a website or even give people my card... if i'm not happy with it then I scrap it. For anyone that knows bi polars then you'll get that last sentence.

My message for guys like Ballplaya and PTO and all the rest of you young DVXusers is: feel proud of yourselves. You had the good sense to start now, dont call yourselves unknowledgeable, or dumb or say its unfortunate that your young. All I can say is take me as an example, i'm 26 and I just started my lifelong dream in feb., all because I never had the good sense to just jump in. Don't ever think you don't know enough, even the oldest,wisest Most valuable DVXuser still has stuff to learn, and these things you are learning now from him/her at the age of 14,15 and 16.
Good call.

I'm the same way man... when I first started playing guitar in high school, I didn't even consider myself a guitar player until after I'd been playing for about a year. I don't consider myself a filmmaker, well, mainly because I haven't bought myself a camera... but even when I do, I won't consider myself a filmmaker for a long time...

You do mean ludicrous, don't you? Ludacris is a rapper the last time i checked... And i think getting a new car soon would be a pretty good idea...

No, no, no. Diz said his/her breakdancing career didn't get off the ground. Sounded like an old school Henny Youngman one-liner to me. Did nobody else read that as a joke? D'oh.

It's the fear sometimes, you know? Not like scared kinda fear, but more of the "time is slipping" kind of fear. My advice about the camera is just do it. I found one in the marketplace for real cheap, pm'd the guy and went on a lay-away plan. Every week, even if it was just $50 (even if'ts just $20) knock at that little by little until you have it payed off.
I wish i couldve recorded myself when I first got it, with a Bi Polar pattern also comes the excessive compulsive dissorder, Try to imagine Jack nicholson in "as good as it gets" but with a DVX, I'ts been 8 months and I still clean it everyday like it might rot away or something.
Anyway, don't wait any longer trying to get the HVX or a brand new DVX or just waiting...waiting is a good recipe to find yourself still waiting at 40.

Of course I dont know your particuler situation, so don't think i'd single you out, I mean this for everyone.
