  2. Hi DJ check this out: http://www.ottfilms.co.uk/ OTT is a collective of filmmakers that help each other making films, most of the projsects start on the forum but then once a month there is a meeting in a pub to further discuss projects and networking. I;ts good fun, lot's of nice people. I have shot one of they shorts and i'm hoping to collaborate on another one soon, it's a very good way to meet people that share the same interest and to make expirence. cheers, Orash
  3. Thanks to all of you for the replies, so i guess i wasn't too much off thinking on the electrician path to get into. I will check the skillset website and the courses around london, one question tho, to get in the elctric department is matter of talking to the production or the production calls services and they bring lights and techicians so I should find who are this servicies and talk to them to work on set? thanks, Orash
  4. I have been following this group for sometimes trying to figure out things by myself but I wanted to ask you a question now, I hope you can help me out with few doubts that i have. First of all I will intruduce my self, my name is Orash and I have been a visual fx artist for the last 10 years, I am manly specialized in lighting, I have always been in love with the language of light and infact, parallel to my main job, I have always done heaps of photography, learing how to light both with artificial and natural light. I am now seriosly thinking of taking a big break from the vfx industry and try to make my move into the “real” world as my final goal is to become a dop/cinematographer as most of you I believe. In order to do that I was thinking to become a gaffer, reading other discussion on this group and talking to few people what always came out is a bit of confusion on which path to follow, camera department or electric, this one is one of my doubt, I like lights so i thought that would suits me best the elctric department even if I am not a professional electrician, I thought that if i learn how to light big things like a set where acctor needs to move and interact then the camera side would be "easier" to learn since anyway always there will be a camera operator with assistent. Is this something you would suggest as a path? I am currently living and working in London, if you were in my position and wanted to do what i had in mind, how would you make your move to become a gaffer or at least to put a foot into a filmset world, who would you contact or talk with? Thank you a lot for your time, I really appreciate! Orash
