Darren Levine Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) well the two "P"s help: passion and persistence but on top of that you should learn as much as you can all the time, that's why i started making tutorials... http://vimeo.com/channels/indiejunkie start making some shorts, put time and care into them, and share them everywhere. get feedback and get people to start knowing you. network in your area. get to know people with similar interests so you can build a team you like to work with Edited January 13, 2012 by Darren Levine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dzyak Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am a film student about to graduate! Any suggestions on how to make it in the industry? I love the camera and lights, I have some experience. Any suggestions? I wish that question had an easy answer. It doesn't which I was I wrote an entire book about it! :) The basic gist is that there is no one way to "make it" (whatever "making it" means to you because it is different for each person). The "trick" is to learn HOW the professional industry actually works and that knowledge helps you make wiser choices so that you're prepared when opportunities present themselves. I recommend reading the entire book (of course), but you definitely should pay special attention to chapters one through five and the entire camera department section (followed by Grip and Electric). Good luck! http://www.randomhouse.com/book/44440/what-i-really-want-to-do-on-set-in-hollywood-by-brian-dzyak/9780823099535/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
