    ^Wasn't expecting it to be.

    I'll probably start with documentary film-making (when I start trying to be 100% profesh) because my sort of life goal is photo-journalism.

    But I have it figured out:

    -Join the military as a combat photographer, receive training + experience
    -While in the military, work some side jobs for newspapers
    -Write a book about my experiences
    -While on leave, or after I'm out of the service, tour Europe
    -Sustain a YouTube account and try to gain some sort of following during all this^
    -Get into documentary film-making / short films
    -Begin work on my fictional documentary film ( its classified, but not too origninal ;) )
    -make da moniez

    By the way, beautiful film. Got a little creepy, but that just added to brilliance.

    The narration, little edits here and there, and the main character all stunning, in every way. Loved the mapping out, the popcorn bit, and THE SOUND DESIGN.

    OH GOD, your so good at sound design. That's rare, my friend. I'd trust you with $500,000 ;)

    The rose bit was proper brilliant.

    East Coast, US. After seeing that character's stalking up there in your brilliant film, I'm a little nervous ;)

    I have an old professor who makes documentaries for Discovery Channel and i also know a guy who did Military photography and now does camera operating and grip stuff on some movies. He's been getting more and more gigs. I think he worked on GI joe 2

    Finally got one of my more recent films, and my most popular so far (Before YouTube upload), here is my 'short' film, '13:03'.

    BEFORE YOU WATCH (As you may be confused otherwise): It is about a man and the mysterious message: '13:03'...



    As other filmmakers on here, you lot may not see it as much, but to me it is something i am highly prooud of as we basically had only 4-5 hours to write a script AND start and finish shooting, which in film making terms is 'no time at all!'

    Oh, plus here's our Facebook page, which i would love for you to atleast take a look at please? - http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ultimate-Projects-Productions/287895177933669

    I liked it! It kept my attention and intrigue. I wanted to know what was gonna happen. I think this idea has a lot of potential. But why did he kill him at the end? - there is no explanation. And i liked you on fb.

    Aha, cheers! :)
    - Yeah, about the explanation, the way i say to people is that we are supposed to be viewing it through the main character's point of view, unware. During the time we had, i couldn't get much from it unfortunately. Possibly in a sequel, 13:04, we could see it from the other character's point of view? (;o)

    Well, i wanted to film something before beginning a bigger project, so got a few friends round, and we realised that we only had a few hours to write, and shoot a whole four-five minute short, which, on paper was only 1 page long before they had to leave. The last few parts to the film is hugely rushed as we noticed we only had around 40 minutes to finish it!

    Just thought that i'd reive this thread by posting my newest short film, 'The Diary'.
    - Only uploaded it a few hours ago. I am pretty proud of it.

    If you find it confusing at all the first time, i recommend a second viewing:
