This section will grow as we progress. This Preface may even change.
But for now, here we go!
Preface - Initial Steps of a Newcomer Filmmaker
The more I learn about filmmaking, the more I realize that going it alone is a daunting task.
I always knew this to be true, but in learning Visual Effects lead to learning Filmmaking lead to Cinematography lead to Screenplay Writing lead to Directing, Composing, Sound Design and Foley...
Each step being incredibly deep, challenging, but incredibly wonderful!
Enjoying each step involved, and being that I'm part time at the moment, I accept the challenge of continuing on by myself - and thrill at the dream of the outcome.
It will be a long ride to come, so I have decided to take material I've created up to this point and working out a bit of a teaser - creating new elements to turn what I have into a glimpse of my vision to come.
Though some parts of the full story will be present, the order won't be proper, and the content will be laid out in a mixed up way to intentionally thwart giving away the actual context.
Some parts will seem to makes sense, but will be unclear as to whether or not it's being told as the actual tale dictates, as many parts will be missing entirely.
So why even do it like this?
This will allow me to step deeper than studying into some of the other aspects of making a film -

Have a Question? Just Ask!
I love to help others as best I can. This is a rather broad topic: CG Filmmaking, so my articles on any particular topic may not answer your specific question.
Most of the questions directed to me are regarding Carrara or How did I do this?
For these sorts of things, post your question at the Carrara Discussion Forum (or another appropriate category) at Daz 3D.com forums, and if I don't see it right away, someone else might. They are such a friendly and helpful bunch! I've learned so much from that forum over the years!
For a more immediate question directed to me, log into those forums and Send me a PM!
and support this site at the same time!!! :) Thanks!!! :)
