Hello,
I’ve posted a few things before, but I’d like to make a serious effort to reach out to other budding filmmakers who are struggling to get off the ground and to make something happen.
I do have movie plans of my own (such as they are), but I am willing to put my projects on hold in order to help someone else on theirs to the best of my ability.
Cons: I am not a real artist, I never went to film school, and I suck at writing a script. I have no real filmmaking experience.
Pros: I have a business degree, I’m goal oriented, and I work well with others. I’m a good communicator and I’m punctual. I may not be a sound guy or a camera guy, but I can take orders.
I have done a really crappy video for a homework assignment before and I know how much it sucks to need help and to not (really) get it. I know how important it is to do whatever it takes to get a shot “perfect” and how hard it is to do it by yourself or to beg apathetic siblings to hold a camera for you while you try to make your movie. I know filmmaking is hard, but its the only thing I want to do and its all Ive been thinking about for the past six years while I was in college. I have watched some Youtube channels like Film Riot and D4Darius and I grow ever more eager to learn all I can, but I want to do things more hands on. I know all these You-tubers say “just grab a camera and film something” but I don’t want to make a bunch of crappy uninteresting videos of myself using an iPod and a tripod only to spend hours editing and wind up with something too embarrassing to share with the world. I have a job, I’m saving my money, and I have a small collection of action camera (knockoff GoPros), but I dont have anyone who shares my passion or anyone who is even patient enough to hold a camera for more than 5 minutes, let alone act.
Long story short; I need more people if I am going to make my movie and they need to want to be there and have some understanding of what is involved. BUT, I realize other people may be in this situation as well, so I will offer to help someone else with their project(s) in the hopes of learning something new, making new connections and (maybe) getting some help in return (in one form or another).
I cant really travel far, I live North of Atlanta but I’m willing to connect with other filmmakers any way I can.
