Hello everyone, Greetings from Sydney,Australia!

Hello everyone who may read this post.
Let me introduce myself... My name is Andrew and I've just joined this forum today as you may already know. :P

I'm 17 and turning 18 this year. And I've been making short films since Dec 2008. I failed high school and my alternative is to go to Film school in July, and my goal is to ultimately have a career in the cinema/film industry and also make unique films (which everyone on this forum is also wanting to do :lol: )

Welcome Grasshopper!

I'm one of the audio guys here.

Keep in mind that the search function is your friend. Everyone here is always very glad to help you out, but a lot of the "basics" questions have been asked and answered many times.

And always remember:

I think regardless of age, race or skill, anything can be accomplished as we only live once...and the only thing that motivates me now is to be able to join the film industry and compose works that stand out and have meaning to society.

Hi, and welcome.

I cant agree with your sentiments though..

Sure, race doesn't mean much, but AGE? A 3 month old baby CANT accomplish much of anything (cept squirt at both ends!)

And skill, skill is THE ONLY THING THAT delivers accomplishment. You can "WANT" to be a movie maker.. you can "WISH" all you want, but if you do not get the SKILL s you will NOT be a movie maker no matter how many times you SAY you are! :)

It is "Achievement" though application of Skill and will power that results in great work, be it art or building furniture!
Recognize skill it in others, without jealousy, and do everything to acquire it for your self!

That's why I'm here, to acquire knowledge that I can apply and practice, hopefully to build some skill...
