First of All....

This is my first post ever, I have been involved in film making for awhile and i have been playing around with this thought of starting a blog to document everything i learn so this could serve as a meeting point for other filmakers or photgraphers. I bought a camera in April (cost me a bundle too), and i decided to "self-learn", my thought is with the passion i have for this, i can drive myself to learn whats needed. My tools of trade consist of:  
 1.) A T3i Rebel series camera  
 2.) A tripod stand 
 3.) Kit  lens (18mm-55mm)
 4.)  and loads of internet resources to help and confuse me alike.
Very basic i know, with time i'll invest in more tools of the trade. But for now, it will have to do to make "amazing" .  
  
 i'll keep this simple, and give you samples to view for most of the research i carry out myself. though my focus is on film making itself, i am delving deeply into the world of photography first to have a proper understanding of kiki (my camera:every time i think of her i cant help but smile :), pardon the weirdness). films are made from moving pictures, so if i can get the picture part right i'll get my amazing films.
 
 I have a short film i directed some years back, one day soon i'l post a link for it to be viewed. My problem with it isn't how crappy it is, but how my contribution as a last-minute actor contributed greatly to its crappiness. Anyways that movie made me believe i could do a better job, so here i am.

  Look out for the next post, I'll upload pictures of work done so far for you to see. its not anything spectacular, but i like them nonetheless.
