| Starving Musician Regular Member  Gender: Female Orientation: Bi-Winning Location: London, UK Posts: 235 Join Date: Jul 2011 |  The film industry Hey everyone, quite certain there isn't a post like this already existing and if there is, i apologize. Just thought I'd start a thread with this topic: The film industry. Who here is a member or aspiring member of this industry? directors?actors/actresses? directors of photography? producers anyone? any profession relating to the production aspect of films. short films, feature films, documentaries...etc =) (please note, this IS NOT a thread to talk about existing films etc. only to talk with other people interested in becoming a part of/ or are ALREADY a part of the film-making process or just anyone interested in the film industry) I'm a film composer/sound designer, which means (for those who don't already know) that i compose cinematic music for films/trailers as well as the sound design aspects of things. Just thought I'd start this thread for any more people on EC who are producers, actors, directors, writers, composers and would like to have general discussions involving what they do, the process of filming, acting auditions, directors, up coming writers, film festivals and anything else you'd be interested in talking about that is relevant to this thread. keep it fun guys =)

I know how difficult it is, but frankly...even if I had millions of dollars, I'd still act. It brings me that much joy. I frankly wouldn't care what genre, I just....acting is the one thing that truly brings me joy.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area Age: 18 Posts: 30 Join Date: Oct 2010 | Re: The film industry DP/Editor/Mixer hopeful here! I took a class at University of Southern California this past summer where I had to try all aspects, and decided that those three fit me best, since I'm interested in the tech behind it all. Of course, I learned on Final Cut Studio, (before the very unpopular X, which I refuse to upgrade to), so I had to learn Avid. The first time I was learning Avid, somebody walked by and said "You must be a FCP user." and walked away.  I think I got better, but I was still slow using Avid. |

I'm currently working on scoring 3 short films for 3 different indpendent film making companies. The first film is still in the production process but the director sent me the script to read through and compose a few demos/get some ideas and get an overall "feel" for the film. Maybe we could do a collab if your film ever gets finished =)
