Have you resolved your problem yet? let me know and maybe I can help.

You mention that you want your stuff to look professional and that you are a perfectionistic. I'm a bit of a perfectionistic too and I consider it to be a good and probably necessary trait. Is it really necessary to be professional quality at this point , though? I'm 38 and have been shooting...

I'd like to humbly throw my one and a half cents in if I may. This is a hotly debated topic on just about every site like this one. I've asked the same question because I'm a family man and starting a four year university program at 38 isn't plausible. What I've done is research the topic and...

Re: Editing programs I use Macs exclusively for my video work so my thoughts may seem a bit irrelevant. When I first began my travels down the non-linear road, I used the very basic iMovie application already installed on my first Mac. I am using Final Cut now but have no qualms over the fact...

It all still comes down to the individual, i guess. The school certainly doesn't make the filmmaker. They can teach the technical stuff but it still boils down to talent. I enjoy editing and am self taught but have had people in the industry tell me my pacing is good and very natural. I liked...

Good point, Uncle Bob. I'd also like to add that although LA is still the heart of things, the digital age is seeing opportunities spring up just about everywhere. As a matter of fact, I read an articale not too long ago that suggested that politicians and others in California are concerned over...

Film school or no film school? This is the question we all seem to ask. All i can add is what a producer/ mentor told me. The powers that be in the industry don't really care about what degree you have. You DO need marketable hands-on skills, contacts, and a willingness to get your hands dirty...

There are two such programs that I'm aware of- I believe this is the one I visited the other day that says it is now available in Europe. I say that because I noticed you are in London. They've been advertising for a while and considering that they are expanding, I would take that as an...

Throw tomatoes? Never. I don't think there's any such thing as a bad video or film when we talk about a film student or someone just teaching him or herself. We are in the learning stages and making mistakes is how we learn. Now, a bad film out of Hollywood with a $200 million budget. That's...

How ironic. I'm totally stuck up here in Ohio dreaming of moving my family to Orlando so that I may attend Fullsail. LA is certainly the place to go if possible but the cost of living as a family man scared me to death. I guess what I'm saying is if you can move out there, to LA, that certainly...

I use a Mac for all things creative, such as video editing, and a pc for the rest. Mac is considered by many to be the industry standard for video production. It just seems that Macs are configured from the start to handle such applications without a lot of fuss. Not to mention, ILM has rooms...
