Anyone ?

Hi guys, i'm a newbie, im thinking of getting myself a new camera to start shooting and apply to courses to get into film school. I'm wondering between getting a DSLR Camera or a Camcorder. Currently im looking at Panasonic GH3 and Sony HDR-CX900 or the FDR AX-100. Any recommend or advice for me ? many tks

Hi, I'm going to Film school in 2017 ( University) , now i have 3 years off to enjoy my life :))) i'm looking for online film school teaching about cinematography , camera, lens, light,...( not too much about VFX or animation ) that is helpful and will give me a certificate or st but that doesn't important. I want to take classes to gain knowledge and experience to have a strong background to go to Film school in 2017. I'm willing to pay money to access those courses. Do you suggest any trusted sites or schools ? i found http://www.lightsfilmschool.com/ , anyone has any ideas about them ? Thank you so much

Tks guy but i still can't find the "salary" i don't know how to use that. Can anyone find some examples for me, Cinematography vs VFX in Florida and Cali ? thank you so much much

Thank you , :)) i'm sure i'm gonna 1000% committed to Cinamatography, follow my dream

1/ Animation and Digital Arts which will focus on VFX, filming, lightings, sounds, editions, animation,... 2/ Production: more like teach students to become director or manager. I want to go with Animation and Digital Arts, my dream school with my dream job. DAVE school will focus 100% on working on the computer with VFX and Animation, they are 2-year institution offering A diploma while Florida State is a 4-year institution offering A bachelor degree. I don't know what would it be like if i spend money and get out there filming to get money but i do know that if i graduate from FSU at least i have a degree and some stuff. Can anyone tell me how it would be like the way you guys recommend me to do with 200k? i mean like how can i make money with lots of gears but without any degree? Can anyone suggest me anyway to make money while filming freelance while i spend 2 gap years ? Once again, thank you very very much for all of your opinions.It's very kind of you guys to help me understand more about my situation and challenges i'm heading towards. They are very helpful, I appreciate that. Feel free to comment what you think about my plan. :)

Tks guys all, You are so so enthusiastic about my problem. I'm just a high school graduate, how can i get into film industry without any degrees these days. I know that it would be very fancy to spend nearly 200k into film school but i could study a lot during the time i'm in college. Money is a big problem here, that's why i'm willing to pay 2 years to work for extra money to help my mom paying the tuition. USC costs more than Florida State, living expense in Tallahasse is still lower than LA, i think so. They cost approximately 38K per year including dorm and many other stuffs Yes of course, that one is prestigious so i'm gonna need to work really really hard on portfolio. I have another plan came up in my mind after read all of your comments. Either I can go to DAVE school in Orlando if i want to study VFX or go to Florida State to study Film major . But i'm dying to go to FSU, my dream school with my dream major. _FSU film school has two Major:

Tks all for your opinions All we have is like 800k, and Dad will take 400k for himself so mom only has 400k left, she's willing to give me 200k to study, She recommend me Computer Science and many others but i don't like them, All i love is to get out there and filming I'm ready to deal with challenge, I love making film, that's my passion, that's why i choose Film major, I'm aiming to FSU College of Motion Picture Arts. :P I have 2 gap years to work and study more about film, so i have to decide now whether should i go with Cinematography or with VFX I believe that i'm gonna survive, cause i really really love making movie. I'm best at making movie :)

i mean my mom ask me to choose a job in film industry that earn well so i can pay for her living expenses cause she has retired and divorce with my dad

Hi everybody, I'm new here. I'm going to film school next year, a big one which will cost my mom 200k, to my family, it's quite a big money so my mom ask me to choose a major in Film major. So how many jobs are there in film industry except director manager ? I'm interested in Cinematography and Visual Effects, but both jobs require different skills, right ? so i've to decide which one should i go for. I have some questions _How much does Cinematographers and VFX artists earn a year ? _About working-hour, which one takes more time ? i heard that Cinematographers only work 8-9 months a year but still earn 70k . _About working-place, seems like VFX artists always have to seat in the studio while cinematographers, I'm a kind of person who like going out , making friend with people, i don't really like seating in a room for hours Tks a lot for advice :)
