A Love for Filmmaking

Have you ever been so inspired to do something...and you just had to do it?

Like watching the food network and saying to yourself, "Oo, that looks really good..I think I'll make that right now." Well, for me it's filmmaking. If I ever watch a good movie; see good shots and hear a good song that I think would work well in a scene, I get inspired. Even if i see people talking or see fog hovering over the river and the woods further in the distance I just think to myself, " Wow! that'd be great in a movie!...I want to film that!" I love making movies! After taking a tv production class in high school I have developed such a deep love and respect for movies. Everything that goes into movies like, acting, editing, directing, screen writing and producing are all vitally important in filmmaking. And I love them all! If i had a video camera with me half the time I would just wait for something worth filmmaking to come along. For example, when I was making a short film for my tv production class I needed a shot of horses in the field. I waited so long for that perfect shot. Once I saw the horses; they were exactly where I wanted them. So I ran for my video camera as fast as I could and got the shot I needed. People must have thought I was a nut for running frantically around the house and outside trying to get everything together quickly. Well, I've had and heard worse stories. But what it all comes down to is that I have become so inspired my filmmaking, I love it. Hopefully I will be fortunate enough to pursue a career in this field.
