Today I met other aspiring directors. We sat and chilled. Well, actually we were walking around really fast. Feels like I live in Vegas again. lol. But they made me realize that there are plenty of jobs that go with the Digital Film Making and Video Production Major.I kinda knew that being an extra all those times in LA because I'm really observant. I remember wandering where I wasn't suppose to and asking the people that looked important a lot of questions. Sh*t, I even got kicked off set once.
But after doing plenty of listening, the only other thing that was interesting to me other than directing was being a cinematographer. I know I spoke of this before. About how Hype Williams cinematographer is/was Malik Sayeed, and in my personal opinion, Hypes videos are/were only good when he uses him. (I know I'm talking hella circa right now)
So here's my pregame dilemma. Do I want to be the guy that helps the director hit the right angles and lighting? Or do I want to be the guy that comes up with the whole idea? That be hella fun to do both but I want/need to be good at one specific thing. (Kinda like how Michael Jordan was on the White Sox too lol) I know that I'd be a great cinematographer but how do I know that I wouldn't be a great director??? I guess that's why I'm here.. *talking to myself*
