My goals

Recently I worked as a Production Assistant on a feature film. It told me two things.

1) I loved the environment of a film set but...
2) I had no interest in the labor of setting up the lights, sound, etc.

I found that my interest in film lies pretty much solely in two places. Creative and Editing. I still have a strong interest in cinematography though. But the cinematographer in the sense that I would design the lighting and be the camera operator.

Of course on a small film, then obviously I'd be doing that stuff on my own. Whether I be director, cinematographer, or whatever. But that's my films, and I have a bit more passion for that.

I suppose that I found that I have no interest in working on the crew of another person's film. Unless it is in some sort of creative aspect.

So my goals for right now in life are to go after a job in editing. Since I really do enjoy doing that, whether it's my film or not. I found great joy in editing a trailer for Andrew and Del's Pirate's of the Carribean film.

That's the job I think I'll go after to pay the bills and such. Then I'll try to pick up jobs as a videographer/cinematographer on the side, and also work on making my own films.

I think that seems like the best direction for me to take my life. I think if I had to work as a grip or something like that on other peoples films that I would get burnt out very quickly.

I think of myself as a very creative person. And I have a great passion for making movies, and I don't want to lose that. I want to make movies, but I want to make my own movies. I don't want to make other peoples movies.
