average age
 

I'm 22, female. Love films.

FWIW I'm 28 starting to thin out on top and share my b-day with the King Elvis Presley whom i'm not a big fan of unless his picture is on velvet.

Ill be 60 next month, and have all my hair and still act and feel like a kid thankyou very much (Just a little gray around the edges from raising two girls).

I'm 38...but don't feel a day over 37.

just 35 and getting younger thanks to this to dvi

30 but act like 25!
WOOHOOO!!!!

21....22 in Sept :)

I remember 21 and 22... They were very good years for me. Sigh...

I'll be 37 in a couple weeks. Act like I'm 12 feel like I'm 60...

Almost 41 and a son who's older than Alex (18 getting ready to go to college....yay).

Still have hair (OK some, but more than enough to not contemplate a potential comb over)

Been in the business (err side business) officially for 5 years.

16 here =)

I've been part of the world population for 23 years now. Though I'm told I have the personality of a 12 year old and the inner thoughts of a wise old man; to sum it up, I'm an idiot at 23 but I can hide it when necessary.

28 years old here. I'm surprised at the diversity of ages here. Wow. I still have much to experience. but mann the younger folks are fortunate to find their way in such an early age.

43 - my first sign of a loss in creativity is that I can't come up with a clever signature for this board. My favorite here is the one that says “If it was easy they would ask there relatives to do it”.

The Average Age So Far...
 

is just about 33.

The median is 28.

in my prime...18 :)

The most telling number will be the standard deviation--especially if it's more than ten years. This will mean we've created a truly age-diverse community.

The standard deviation is 13.4.

Can I skew your results slightly! I'm 59, shortly to be 60 (horror of horrors) and have just shot my first wedding video with a three camera set up. This forum has taught me an immense amount which I am able to put into the editing.

Well done!

Tony

Wow, you are not THE Tony Hill are you? (writing 'Hills' could just be a camoflage tactic...) I have to say I love the works, and I have to say, I have borrowed some ideas.
Takeshi

Hi Takeshi

Sorry to disappoint you but the 's' in Hills is genuine! Are you confusing me with the Tony Hill who has a video website in the USA?

Tony

Tony, you look much younger on tape.

Oldest woman here???
 

Had to jump in on this - I admit to ...50 - but I like to stretch, kick, and stretch! (You have to watch Saturday Night Live to understand that one.) Filming since 1971, switched to DV when my 16mm equipment and all my films burned last year. Great forum, glad to see a few people older than I am here! Christine

Just turned 35 on Aug 13.

Happy Birthday Jeff--- I turned 37 on the 6th....

After finishing principal photography on our Lady X movie, I feel about 82. I think I'm still 28.

And to you Mark...

30s a year away!!
 

I'll be 29 on 8th September.

Well, I'm a newcomer here, and pretty new to video and film as well (have some basic experience in videography and AB roll editing). Anyway, I'm ready to learn some new stuff, and much prefer DV to VHS and Final Cut Pro to an old AB roll edit deck, so it looks like I came to the right place!

Anyway, it looked like the young crowd was taking a beating from the old-timers, so I'll throw in my age at 21. :-)

Daniel

Kris,
I'll be 29 in September 10th.
Pretty close aye?

Stat Update
 

Average age: 33.68
Median age: 29.5
Standard deviation: 13.34

Quite a diverse community!

Well, of course, this being a voluntary poll and not a randomized sampling of the population, we don't exactly have a scientifically accurate survey. But it'll do...

Even if DVInfo.net (and videography in general) attracts all ages, I think the community is highly skewed toward the male persuasion. Just judging from the member names, I'd say there's about a 50:1 male/female ratio...

We have many more active female members today than we did, say, a year ago. But, indeed, the active membership is overwhelmingly male. I believe that the reason is simple: the forums and subjects here are gadget/techie-oriented and do not appeal to many women.

I've noticed this in the classes I teach. The are split fairly equally, male/female. However, when the class discussion turns to equipment the women tend to participate less. Discussions about composition, form, lighting etc. have good participation from both sexes, but the women's questions tend to be more probing and inquisitive. The men ask more bluntly, How do I achieve this look or effect? Women tend to want to know the why's and how's.

I've had several classes that were all female. Let me tell you, what a challenge. Maintaining control is very difficult. It’s much easier to digress and get off subject. I end up teaching something entirely different than my lesson.

This has been fun.... I sort of had a mental picture of the contributors I like to read the most - Dylan, Rob, Ken and Jeff. I was in the ball park with Ken & Jeff but Dylan & Rob are just bairns :-)

Joints ache, bones hurt, can't remember... uh... stuff. :)

Hey Now....
 

Got married 4 years ago to a man 12 years my junior (any good 'cradle robber' jokes?), had a baby almost 2 years ago, will be 42 in January (constantly mistaken for late 20's. You tell me... "http://fatcatmedia.biz/aboutus" ..on the left). Come on.... be brave... post photos!!! Numbers don't matter it's what's between the ears...

Life is gets STARTED at 40 for all you yunguns' out there. Go William! Jeff! and the over 40 gang :-)

Hey Ken... about the "techy" comment...I think you are right. Most gals don't seem too interested. But for those of us who grew up in a house full of engineers... man tech info is GREAT! I'd much rather read a spec sheet or wiring diagram than a novel. Gadgets are THE BOMB. (I love powertools and john boats too.)
