You know you're a filmmaker when...

[Jon Starr]

Decided to start one of these. Sorry if it's been done already. Came up with some of these when I was on set. Feel free to continue.


You know you're a filmmaker when:

A guy yells out "hey, check out the 'rack' on that girl", and you look around for a camera, confused.

You're room always has at least three lights on, strategically positioned.

You need to start each morning with a clapper or else the rest of the day is out of sync.

You never go outside in the middle of the day because the lighting is too harsh.

When you have a headache or migraine, you flag all of your light sources.

You can't do your laundry because your gaffer still has all of your C47's

 

[Jeff Anderson]

when your doing your laundry you seperate into blacks and... oh wait...

your kids take their lunch to school in pelican cases...

[In Jeff Foxworthy-like voice]

If you've ever yelled, "Fire... the director!" in a crowded movie theater, you may be a filmmaker - (or at least think that you are).

 

[Robbie Comeau]

You try to vision life, through your own eyes at 24p.

Just made that up...'Cause I do it...

You know you are a filmmaker when you learn how to use the search function.​

When you have motivation, inspiration, and patience.

(Made that up again from my heart )

 

[Jeff Anderson]

awwww... com'n lovefest is over. stop with the compassionate crap. but good point - when your willing to spend a whole day to get 1 minute (or less) of finished video - thats patience and thats what it takes sometimes...

you might be a filmmaker if you think hitting the "new posts" button all night long is entertainment...

When the sunlight hits someone's face and you think they look overexposed.

You might be a filmmaker if your Zak Forsman...

(Again, that's from me, I didn't find it in the internet)

 

[Jeff Anderson]

[Drew Ott]

...when your posture of choice at the movie theater is the thinker.

[Tom Marshall]

When the sunlight hits someone's face and you think they look overexposed.

And similarly... When talking to someone in sunlight, you say "Can I get a bounce over here?"

 

[Robbie Comeau]

When you talk to people, you frame them up nicely with your eyes...

(From me)

 

[Matthew R. Rodwell]

When you eat romain noodles for 2 months so you will have the extra money to do that scene the way you want.

 

[Zak Forsman]

...when you don't have time to post on dvxuser. :laugh:

 

[Jeff Anderson]
