DIGITAL FILMMAKING

So, you want to be a filmmaker?

Any student who is interested in digital film making realization would be that of self awareness. You can't do it all. The best directors understand this concept. It's why the best films are recognized as more of a group effort, rather than a one man show. The most basic thing to understand is that a film isn't created in one instance, but that it takes time and resources. Digital film making isn't much different than regular film making in this regard. Both need adequate stories and an excellent team of creatives. The differences are in the budget and the ease of digital. No one can argue against the cost effectiveness of a digital format. Whatever you do, just don't give up on a whim. It's not an easy business. It takes time and dedication to get your work out there and no one is an instant success. It's all a process and you're just starting out, whatever aspect of the digital film revolution you take part in; you can only go up from the bottom.
