Whoa...wha...you mean they had Shiner Bock back then? (hehe)

Well they also had Pearl back in those days... best thing about that beer was its cheap price; a college student could actually afford it. Pearl beer bottles had little graphic puzzles under the bottle caps, such as a house over a stove (home on the range). The more you drank, the tougher the puzzles seemed.

I didn't learn anything "technical" at U.T. that wasn't already obsolete, but they have always had a top-notch faculty, including their graduate student teaching assistants -- as an undergrad I was particularly fond of Jim Wehmeyer and Eithne Johnson. Personally the best thing about film school was that it motivated me to learn, really taught me how to learn. The experience isn't about getting your hands on the gear so much as it is about networking with your fellow colleagues in an academic environment and the relationships you make there.

Hi Rik--

Yeah, I'm trying to start a trend (re: futile!) by calling El Paso, The Pass.

(Just like when people not from Orange County started calling it the OC.)

Wish me luck!

Here's a howdy from a part of Texas that's NOT Austin or Dallas....howdy from Corpus Christi! I just finished my first film for Corpus's first film festival (that I know of), the Corpus Christi Seven Day film project, screening films next Thursday at House of Rock. If anyone is curious what we've been up to waayyyy down South, stop by on Thursday-Friday, I believe they are screening 28 8-minute films for around a $2 entry fee. Their website is www.corpuschristifilmsociety.com. Take it easy!

Hey everybody.

My name is Adam, and I'm a 21 year old student. I'm at the lowest level of knowledge in filmmaking you can be, so it has been quite a thrill seeing all that this site has to offer. I've always been addicted to movies, and I've taken a few classes on the 'History of Film' and 'Music in Film'. I'm currently in the process of buying a Canon XL2. I have been saving for it for a while, but recently I was on the Family Feud with my brothers and their wives and we won $42,000, so I can finally buy most of what I need to get started.

I can't wait to learn more and develop friendships on this site.

Hi Adam, welcome aboard DV Info Net, good to have you with us!

Is your last name Dutch?

Ryan Paige · August 29th, 2007, 10:51 AM

Hey, sorry for the very delayed response. But welcome to the Board from another Metroplexer.

Congrats on the Family Feud win, too.

Welcome to the forum, Martin! It's getting closer all the time as I'm also in The Colony.

Just a reminder to a new guy, we keep it very friendly and professional here.

Greg:
Noticed you were a "local" when I registered. Thought about saying hi, but figured I'd give it time.

Don't worry, I'm housebroken and well-behaved.
