rogar-BigGrin(DBG)Hmmmm. Thanks again for the offer :dankk2:- but I wouldn’t be able to do that, probably. First, because it still sounds creepy- “im gonna go meet a guy at the mall that I met on the internet, who just happens to have the camera I’ve been looking to buy.” And second, I have to get a script done, which is 2 pages in the works, and which all can fit my budget (I hope).hybridtheory said:

My excusometer is in the red zone.
You go meet him WITH your parents and have coffee (or punch in your case - jk)
Once your parents have his driver's license # written down, work it out.
This is what you've wanted all summer.
A guy with experience and a DVX is offering to shoot your movie for you! HELLO! Do you want to make a movie or don't you.
And school schmool. There's 4 or 5 weekends between now and October 1st. Plus when I was your age, the days were 3 times as long as was time in general it seemed. You'll see what I mean when you're my age.
You just need to get your feet wet. Don't worry about being Citizen Kane right out of the box. So here's your assignment.
You have a week to develop a very VERY simple idea. You have one weekend to shoot it. You have two weeks to edit it.
READY
SET
GO ...
No excuses hombre.
Here's your chance to actually BE a filmmaker. What other 14 year old can compete with that when it comes to the ladies this year. Or to use your native tongue: What other 14 year old can compete with that when it comes to the ladies this year, aye?
Can't believe a page or two ago you were complaining that you couldn't enter the contest without a DVX and now someone is offering you the use of the camera AND assistance, and you aren't jumping all over it like white on rice ... what gives?

WELL SAID JACK!
great ... now im creepy ... how did that happen? Bro ... i'm only like 21, fresh out of college.
It'd be different if I was offering you candy to get into a conversion van.
Oh well, perhaps in the future you will be less scared of me. The offer still stands if you would like to collaborate ever. Perhaps you could crew for me or something as an exchange.

I agree with Jack. First of all, I doubt the guy has pedophilia on his mind by offering to help you out... And how long are your school days? What time do you start school and what time do you get out? It doesn't get any easier when you're older and want to get into this. I have to get up at 8 to be to work at 9 and then I'm stuck there till I get home between 7 and 8 at night. So that gives me about 3 hours to get anything accomplished if I actually want to get a good night sleep. Plus you have your weekends! Most people who have day jobs film on the weekends.

Olright, Jack, you've got me in a tongue-twister here. I have a guy offering me work with a DVX, and Im turning it down. As we speak, I am kind of regretting it. I am making excuses, but (aside from the nothing written part) its the truth. I have had to wrangle my parents just to be able to go to this website, because they dont "trust it" and dont really approve me talking to other people that I dont know... at all. This is my excuse, get mad if you want, but my parents are very protective and very sure about things. I will never, ever be able to talk them into it. I asked them, and they laugh-sneered and said "Do you think we'd actually let you go work with someone you dont know?", and soon after that, they started again with the whole "you never use your camera" thing, though I worship my consumer panny-cam. My folks are VERY leniniant, and I love em to death, and I understand their want to protect me, so I cant say anything. The internet is a mad place when your talking to the wrong people. I bet Mr.Whoever who was offering to do the shooting (sorry I forgot his name) is the safest person in Charlotte, probably the nicest guy, and would be GREAT to work with. Im tangled up in blue, Jack.
The good news- I know this guy in one of my classes who has an XL2 or DVX (im gonna ask him, but I know he has a big expensive sucker), and hes is all into making movies, and so are all his/my actor friends. So, if I can talk him into working with me to make something big, I will be good to go.
Thats my response. Again, everytime I read my posts, it makes it look like I am making excuses to do nothing when I want to do something. I just dont have that power in my reach just yet.
As soon as I have my liscense, and this baby is mine:
(350$)
, I will have more availablity to work with people outside the schoolyard/neighborhood. (Yes, you can laugh at that.) Im off to work on my script some more...
As for HorrorFest, I will pass until next year, probably, because I want to focus on what I am doing now. (Unless the guy with the DVX[?] wants to make a horror, then I will jump on it.
Thanks for the tough criticism- it always helps.

Im not afraid of you. Like I just said, your probably a very nice guy with a lot of initiative... but I just can not make things work.hybridtheory said:WELL SAID JACK!

And tommyinla, I dont have pedophilia... Im not that wimpy :kali:. I just explained. As ridiculous as it sounds, I cant get my my parents. There is no way of convincing them, as far as I know. But now I may have access to a DVX form someone I know, so I will ask him if he wants to do anything soon.
And Jack, I DRINK COFFEE!

PTO, even if your not going to be entering Horrorfest, at least use the motivation JDS is giving you. You don't have to make a horror movie, you don't have to enter it into any festivals or whatever. But what JDS is saying is just go out and make a movie. If you want to be a film maker, heres your chance. Even if you end up hating your story or getting stressed out with your actors or whatever, you cant beat the experience. You have a camera, so who cares if its not a DVX that doesnt mean you cant make a movie. You can only give so many excuses. Just go out and make something.
Yes but your parents can't meet everyone on the forum.
When they can meet the guy though, then it's no different than taking guitar lessons from someone.
Ben could come to your house and you could shoot the whole thing on premises. I think even if your friends DVX pans out you should both try to work with Ben, I mean look at what you are passing up:
Man oh man if I were you I would be wracking my brain at what kind of idea (SCRIPT) I could come up with to take advantage of this situation.
If you can't convince your parents to let you work with a guy that's only twentyone who will comeover and meet them and shoot around your house then -- wow. Seems like a totally different ballgame when they can meet someone.
Anyway good luck. I'll shuddup now, you'll make a movie or you won't.
Enough threadjack I guess.

Man, your parents are pretty overprotective!pto2212 said:
If they're going by the fact that you don't seem to like the little camcorder you have now, show them that's not the case. Go outside and start filming stuff... anything... and then start working on editing your footage using whatever software you have, even if it's Windows Movie Maker of iMovie. Bring over some friends and start filming some scenes from other movies. I have a feeling they'd have a change of heart...
While I obviously find it hard to believe that anyone would have a problem upon meeting someone in person and staying on premises, I want to be careful we don't make to light of this issue ... it's a BIG DEAL and I think easy for those of us who don't have kids or aren't kids to dismiss.tommyinla said:
DVXuser is an interesting place for many reasons ... we know the expression that boys never grow up their, their toys just get more expensive. Well as a tech loving gender (predominantly) it's only natural that we would have dood's on here from 14 through 100. AND this site is all about mentoring. We get that, but I can see how parent's might not and even if they do might be wary just for the sake of due diligence.

Just a few days ago another girl was found missing because she met someone on the internet. Her parents were with her at the mall, but they went to order drinks, and when they came back, she was gone with him. She was found, but I think that is my point. I cant be sure, at all. I dont really think anyone is a creep on this forum, but the girl who was kidnapped was (as I read) an A-grade student, the president of the student council. Even the smartest of people can be fooled- and I dont want to be a victim. Again, I dont think ANYONE here could be a "predator", because I dont think a "predator" would choose these forums over anything.
I just hope you can see it my way- I am going on the safe side and am going to make a movie with friends, and make the best of that. Until I have my own card, and a gun permit :kali:, I dont see how I can be sure its safe out there. Call me a worrywart- I wont pay it any mind.

Well, yeah, I suppose. I don't have kids, so putting myself in that position is a bit difficult, but there is good reason to worry. Especially with stories about myspace floating around, like the 14 year old girl who almost flew overseas somewhere to meet that one guy. The world has changed since I was that age, that's for sure.
