Okay - here's mine... Ultimately, I would rather have someone with experience, because that is they way I've learned, and I firmly believe one truly learns by "doing" - actual hands-on - doing it, making mistakes, etc. I personally am not too tired of this question, because it seems to be...

Compelled I felt compelled to get in on this conversation - forgive me for butting in. - - - - - - JulianWells, dude - - make your film with crayons and scrap paper! It's still storytelling - and that's ALL FILMMAKING is dude - that's all. We (as filmmakers) - what separates us from writers...

It's a good question!!!! Keylime: I think it's a good question. :) All questions are good. I live in Florida, so for "me" Florida State University would be "my" first choice over the University of Central Florida, which is actually closer, or any other universities in this state. I think to...
