When it comes to choice of hair pomade, I'm strictly a Dapper Dan man.

It ain't a doo without Dapper Dan.

I am currently in Film School and am learning a lot more here in terms of tech and practical and professional know-how, but nothing beats hands on experience with an old Arri SR or an H16 Bolex. Your shooting has to rock 'cause when you bring it over to the Steenbeck there's no color correction, post effects, etc...Hell, for anybody that hasn't shot film, can you even imagine what it's like having to do fade outs, split screens, dissolves, etc...in camera with a matte box and rewind crank? (Not that it's hard, but if you forget a fade-out there's no way to put it back in later!). What we learn here is less like film school and more like the stuff you'd learn in your first couple of years pro (I'm assuming), without having to make all the mistakes yourself first.

Not to just parrot everyone else, but thanks so much for our video home, Chris, and all those invloved in keeping it running so smoothly (yes, even Dylan C. - j/k). It's always a treat coming here!
