Hey guys,
I'm just curious to know what everyone thinks of the various ways to break into film making. Whether the best way would be to go through a film school and work your way from the ground up, or whether the technology and free information available out there at the moment sort of renders that side of it a bit of a waste?
Basically, I'm interested in becoming either a cinematographer or a director (I know they're rather different roles) and want to know whether I should just invest in a few thousand dollars worth of camera, sound and lighting equipment and see if I'm any good.
Anyway, what does everyone think in terms of the best way to break into films?
James
