Gear and what not


Finally got it!

I got a 3CCD Panasonic NV-MX500 DV camcorder and a PowerMac G4. Just add software and I have, more or less, a DV turnkey system. I was just popping by Cinesite. I've been thinking of what I should do after school and working in Melbourne. After exploring around Cinesite some months ago, I developed an idea: to be a professional digital filmmaker. So eventually I'd have to get a HD editing suite instead of just DV.

See? I want to do movies and primetime TV. But unlike most of the mediocre productions we get on our local TV screens, the works I do will have a kind of professional quality. That means everything has to be perfect from pre-production to post production; from the screenplay to the screen.

Yes, I know. It sounds ridiculous. But if we don't dream, we simply don't get started.

Right now, I don't know much about professional motion photography, screenwriting or the aesthetic know-how of a film artiste. But then, that's because I've never been taught. All I know now is what I've learned by trial and error. And so, I am putting myself through five years of further education for a plethora of knowledge in order to begin my personal quest.

Anwyay, nobody ever taught me to DJ, but I DJ better than a lot of others. I learned to cook on my own. I learned to write on my own. I learned how to write calligraphy on my own. I learned how to decorate places on my own. I learned how to make fix computers on my own. No one taught me any of these. And now with God behind me, how much more will I learn!

And so I believe that I can learn filmmaking on my own, as God wills it.
