Hey, I didn't say it! Heck, I gave my dad a role in my DVC5 entry, and he's two years your senior; old guys are cool in my book.

But hey, if it's a challenge you want, bring it on, grandpa!

Yeah, youngsters, don't try to hard, cause you'll make us oldsters feel real bad about things...... in the sunset of our lives.....

Michael Fossenkemper · July 21st, 2006, 06:43 PM

I think I feel an idea coming on.

Scene 1- Camera closes in on boy tieing a knot on some fishing line. Cuts to camera closing in on old man on other side of town staring at a lake.

That's all I have so far.

Ok, who wants to play the 22year old?

What's the theme about anyways? oh that's right, he hasn't told us yet.

Sean McHenry · July 24th, 2006, 09:05 PM

Young pups always challenge the old guard. That's how the process goes. Only one Alpha male to a pack please.

I look forward to soundly trouncing the young lad... As soon as I find my glasses and those teeth. Need to get the seeing eye dog to find my slippers and robe too. Which end of the camera faces the actors?

Oh it's on young feller.

All seriousness aside, if anyone else out there is thinking of doing this for the first time, stop thinking about it, do it. I keep telling myself, lots of people talk about how they could make a video or film. Some even plan it out. I have done it. I just finished a new piece called "Cat Fight at OK and Corral" with 4 real actors, a crew of 6 including 2 car drivers, an EMT, Cinematographer, Director/Producer/Editor (me) and audio person.

I did this last piece, which I will realease to everyone here to view after Aug 7th, directly due to my involvement in DVC2, DVC3, DVC4 and DVC5. They gave me the confidence to get it moving. I have 8 other scripts waiting to be shot and 6 under my belt. I am told I get better each time. It's the best way to learn - do. Heck, it says so right on the official T-shirts. "Better than Film School".

Sign up, shoot, enter, learn, do it again next time.

I may have to get in on this one. Where's the sign up sheet?
* edit* Ooops nevermind found it!

Sean McHenry · July 25th, 2006, 02:13 PM

I stand corrected by the way, the T-shirts actually say "cheaper than film school". OK, that's true as well, unless you do what I did and buy a ton of gear.

Today is my 47th birthday. Does that put me in the upper end of the old people division of this Challenge? :)

Heck NO!

Six weeks and I'll be 59! You are the lower end, rookie division, of the old people. Uh, but you may have to carry us! And, if my walker breaks I may need some help! :)

Michael Fossenkemper · August 1st, 2006, 04:23 PM

It looks like it should be called OPSVFF "Old People shooting video for fun".

I'm turning 40 in a few months, but I look 28. Really. If I squint my eyes.

Oh yeah? well...if I put my hair in a tight enough pony tail I don't look a day over 46! ;)

Looks like we'll have enough to start our own over-40 club one of these days. Mike and I already talked about starting a procrastinator's club, but we just don't seem to get around to doing it.

And thanks for the wishes, Michael and Meryem. :)

I wish I can join in on this conversation but I must brew a cup o' tea and watch the Lawrence Welk Show.

Happy Birthday, Lorinda, Meryem and Chris.

Yah, if I squint my eyes enough, while looking in the mirror, I can look like 28 too! :)
