That's what I was told.That and make a slasher movie in a cabin for my first movie.
I good 90% or more of people I've met on movie sets went to some kind of film school, some of them know so much more than I do about different aspects of filmmaking and some of them were just worthless food hounds. :mad: I think books are great, they can give you a bit of confidence when you step on a set for the first time. I have a lot of books on lighting and that, the gaffer's from a movie I was working on awhile ago was at my house when he saw a bunch of my books and told me that all he ever learned about lighting was from working at a rental house. He was a lighting genius in my opinion, haha maybe it's because I know so little though. Oh well everyone starts at zero :)
I think there are a lot of paths you can go to learn about filmmaking, but knowledge is no substitute for experience.
I'll read anything you have liar, I love to hear movie ideas and sharing my own.
p.s listen to roderick, he's working with dario argento! :D
