My brother Van got the computer first and showed me what it was like to edit video. I definitely credit Van with turning me onto filmmaking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Learning how to edit movies was a real breakthrough.
I'm the third generation of my family in the film business, and I grew up with a deep passion for movies. I made my own Super 8 films when I was a kid and always loved the editing process.
When I was younger, me and my brother got a video camera, and he used to direct and I used to act. We used to make these silly, stupid short films, which, looking back now, were probably horrible.
If I can have the opportunity to go into an editing room, it's like the golden ticket for me. All I want is to learn about everything else in the filmmaking process. I just directed a music video which just came out and that'd sort of be the area of the field that I'm going to move into, I hope.
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
When I left high school, my dad was directing a film, and I went to work for him as a P.A. There were two wonderful editors, Bud Isaacs and Bernie Balmuth, working on the project, and every chance I had, I would go to the editing room to watch and learn from them.
Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.
You know, when I first started making online videos, there were a lot of filmmakers I befriended who were doing it too.
I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.
I grew up loving films and making stupid movies with a good friend of mine, who now actually has a career in a really prominent special effects house, so he's still doing it. We just started messing around with a camera.
