Hello everyone. The name is mark and i reside here in Toledo, OH. ( not the best of places but you have to make th best of everything right?). Well for starters im 29 years old and on my farewell tour of my 20's and in doing so life hit pretty hard, a reality check if you will.
i graduated HS in 2000 and immediately went into college. I took a direction of digital media that eventually turned into a Huge interest in video. Unfortunately upon my graduation date of May of '05, i ran into a major issue with the offices. In short and to not bore with details, The school i was attending took a year and a half and a lawsuit to admit they simply lost my paperwork and refused to bother looking for it. So in Oct of 06', i finally received my graduation papers through the mail.
So needless to say the last couple years have been a nightmare of trying to find a job in my field of schooling. I have done a couple commercial projects with FOX in our local area that have been aired, But still wasnt able to get my foot through the door. So i figure, if i am gonna get anywhere i am have to fully apply myself and work my rear end off.
I have since the time of school moved from using MiniDV to a nice little sony HD cam. And do to cost i have moved away from using Avid which i was formally trained on, to mostly concentrating on Adobe Premier and trying to learn After Effects. So with any luck and a lot of work ill get my indy career turned around and back on track.
TLDR version

Welcome!
To be honost i have a hard time networking. Not really sure what to say. And the fear of making myself look like a moron. A bit hard to convey whats in my head into words sometimes.. but learning in a personal setting usually helps a lot more than reading text if your more of a hands on person like myself.
