Congratulations on your success, I will watch your movie when it comes out you can count on that You seem to know what your talking about.Kyle Higgins wrote:Film school isn't for everyone. For me, personally, it was the right move. I started at the University of Iowa, then transferred to a film school in California (in a small town outside of LA). I made a series of short films, interned in LA at a prominent production company, and finally raised money and shot my thesis film. I put my thesis online and began marketing it (doing interviews, publicity, etc), which caught the attention of a couple studio execs. They helped me get an agent and a manager, which in turn put me on the path of meeting a ton of execs in town. Currently, I'm writing a script to direct as my first feature, and also developing a couple others with different writers. I'm also writing comic books for Marvel.
As for the argument about film vs video-- at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter (and this is from someone who loves shooting film). At the stage that most people are at, video is going to be easier to work with (particularly on the post production end) That said-- high production value IS important. Make your material look as crafted as possible-- solid lighting, interesting compositions, some telephoto lenses to vary your depth of field, and for the love of god-- pay attention to your audio.
Why you lurking my page brah?
