Re: How old and what does everyone do?

Serious? .... Ser-i-ous... hmmm, sorry...

Even sounding it out I'm unfamiliar with the word. This is a little embarrassing. :-[

Is it Latin? What does it mean? ???

I most certainly DO know Cherryl (Cheryl?) hmmm...never saw her named spelled out before. Small world. If you see her before I do, tell her Tony from Daniel Clark says "Hi!"

OH! So YOU must know the guy that insists on driving the red pickup truck with the license plate that spells "REDTRUK" or "RDTRUCK" or "TRUKRED"

Mystery SOLVED! ;)

<--- That's me from a Today show gig

40 years old
Saint of a wife of 10 years and 2 boys... something is on the way any minute (as of today we're at 38 and 4 (if you've been here you know what that means.))

I just sit around and cut my home movies all shot on a DVX.  I love Macs, FCP, CS, and After Effects.

Sure -- I've done some other things with editing and shooting skills I've developed, but I hardly ever take any money for it.

In real life I'm an officer in the greatest Air and Space power in the world, The United States Air Force.  I conduct bands all over the country (not yet world) for presidents and kings... and moms and pops too.

Best/worst moment in my career... standing over a grave at Arlington National Cemetery conducting Beautiful Saviour when it was 25 degrees and snowing and it was the Band, the Honor Guard, the Chaplain and one family member.  I couldn't help myself -- I was crying my eyes out.  I've done HUNDREDS of funerals, but that one just hit me hard.

Hey -- I just found out I'm "in the zone" for the next Major board.

Re: How old and what does everyone do?

umm, 30 years old. Only had my DVX for a few months. I work with 5 mentally retarded men in their home. I own a house and have a 22 year old girlfriend whom I intend to marry. That is, if I can get my **** together and grow up. I swear that I am still 12 years old. I still enjoy all of the stuff that the younger generation does and find myself hanging out with kids half my age. I know that sounds odd, but I still skateboard and the only people who ride around here are teenagers :/ oh well, It's in my blood and I won't stop until the arthritis hits me so bad that I can't do it.

Well, John. I don't see what is a : "Pre-employment Background company"

It will certainly come in the 5-8 next years in france... like most of the things born in Usa.

Are you doing a kind of investigation about people before a company hire them ?

Re: How old and what does everyone do?

It was certainly impolite from myself to not introduce myself.

So here start the (non interesting) enumeration !!

- A girlfriend (we are only looking for couples not single men !! just kinding we're not swingers) (I've always though than there is a great movie (a thriller) to do with swinger couples)
- I registered the 11th july 2004 and I was so busy until now that i'm still not a dvx owner (time to confession). Just graduated from a master in C.S. Now the time is back and I hope to get a 'baby' asap and if possible the juan's mod if it's not a vaporware.

-I made the Nyfa couple of years ago and 2 (16 mm) short movies saw the life. It was very interesting. I liked this 6 weeks heaven period. He makes me feeling, I was more interesting by making movies than software. If it was to restart, I'll keep the money and buy a camera and learn by doing... But, all experiences are good.

In fact, when I rethink to the whole process, I had been always interesting in making movies. I've done some vhs bullshit when I was a teen and wrote some "obscur" scripts never shot.

I lost the hope to be a filmmaker a lot of times but Shane Carruth gave me the faith back. Thanks to him.

And, I want to give me a try to do a feature. After, I'll be liberate from my obsession and will work as a brainless bee until the retirement and the grave. Time fly and I don't know, if I'll have the luck to make this movie.

I found this site because I was looking for a camera and at this time (july '04)
the progressive mode and DV was still unknow to me. Once the progressive mode discovered, I understood it could be a wonderful tool (the lethal weapon) to achieve my goal without living in the fear of underexpose my kodak 200T and overexplosed my budget.

I found that people on this site was nice and not necessary against french people because they were french... I've to add that even without a dvx, I learn a lot.

That's all folks. End of my confession. Now, I hope to purchase a dvx asap and do a first post in the 'Screen Grabs / Clips of DVX footage section'...
 
Re: How old and what does everyone do?

26. i make a living now as a previsualization artist/supervisor.....its basicly 3d animated storyboards for feature films and commercials. been doing that for almost 4 years. i started out as a sculptor in new york, and picked up carpentry and metal work along the way. i started doing that professionally when i was 16. got a work study thing going on in high school and was able to get out of school everyday at noon and go to work making cool **** for broadway/vegas shows and theme parks. moved out to los angeles when i was 20 and worked for a few set shops and for walt disney imagineering, where they taught a few of us 3d animation...anyway, got sick of sculpting and fabricating...so i made the jump and got right into doing previz work for a living.

anyway, been messin around with video for about 2 years or so....and have started to more agressivly go at it for about 6 months...

so there you go.... :D

peace out!
