I'm Walking On Sunshine Whoooooooooooa-Yeah!
Mood:  on fire
Now Playing: Joan Osborne's "What if God Was One of Us?"
it came in today!

the other came in on Monday, and that was kickin', but IT came in today!

and i'm talking about Ripple's Panasonic DVX! i know, i know, it's not top of the line anymore. the new cameras record straight to flash drives on HD, but dude, the things i can pull off with this DVX is going to be AMAZING!!

like all these short films i keep talking about.

people (film people, mainly) roll their eyes at digital photgraphy, but i'm all about it. i really look up to George Lucas and Robert Rodriguez, who have pretty much pioneered digital photography for movies. i'm a poor college grad who can't afford to shoot movies on film (more precisely, i can't afford to develop the film i shoot the movies on). but mini-DV tapes? that i can afford. they're like, "oh, but it's not film, you can tell. look at the way it looks."

if you go into a digital movie, expecting the look of film, you will be disappointed. but don't expect film and you won't be. it would be like painting with water colours and wondering why it doesn't look like your friend's acryllic painting. they are two separate mediums, and i embrace the digital. i give it a big Irish bear hug. the freedom, the stresslessness of shooting on mini-DV is unexplainable. yes, there are some con's to this, but there's con's in everything. people who think film is absolutely the best thing to shoot are are delusional, as there are A LOT of things that can go wrong on film that will simply never happen digitally. i could rant on this all day, but you're already bored and scanning down to my other blogs for language, nudity, violence, sex, and explicit adult situations.

so i'll shut up now.

just let me say this in closing:
