56, and start feeling it

Lord, now I feel old.

57.

Shot my first professional photo assignment with a 4x5 Speed Graphic.

Shot my first documentary on a 16mm Bolex.

Still have a library of 3/4 inch U-Matic tapes (and a Sony deck to play and edit them) and a TEAC reel-to-reel for audio work.

The Speed Graphic and Bolex are part of a display case of old equipment in one corner of our gallery now.

Just call me gramps.

hello doug,

we should have our own senior corner and 10% off...

greetings

greetings and salutations, i'm 28 and just recently began to take filmmaking seriuosly, wrote a script, ran out and bought an Canon XL2, brought on a crew and we are curently shooting our second short film. WWW.Sleathermovie.COM

My first post on here, but I've been lurking for a while, and from what I can tell, I'm one of, if not the youngest here.

I'm... Wait for it... 15.

I've made 3 or 4 small little basement films, but my next short looks like it'll be a competition piece. Obviously I'm shooting all DV.

I guess I have a head start though because my father is a video editor and former cameraman (his work on Evening Magazine won him 3 Emmys, anybody remember that show?) and he basically raised me on making videos and editing.

I'm 49... and holding. Started at age 10 in 1966 with an 8mm film camera. I admit to an extensive 3/4-inch U-Matic library, BetacamSP library, and machines to play them. MAN, does the DV library look puny next to THOSE! I mean, it takes dozens of DV tapes to fill the space of a few BetacamSP 60-minute master reels. Somehow, it just looks... wierd.

Luckily, the older I get, the lighter and smaller the gear gets. THAT, I like.

ehh..., average-shmaverage.......
Ken, you should ponder the age thing with the no of post (or reads) to get the real age representation on this board.....(kiddn)
Same BD as Rasputin (1959 though) so... 46 years young! (IF, you don't mind)
With as many tech temptations around, s'gonna take me 4ever to figure what I want to do when I grew up. (my kids know better) Got hooked on B/W film, prints, darkroom, lens an-ol-that at the tender age of 14 though.....(hair of the dog that bit me was (seldom)........ in the gate. hehehe (;-)<

28 is creepin' up on me!!

Just Starting out
 

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to be able to post on this great site. I have just recently discovered this fantastic source of information when looking for info on a Canon GL2 I have rented for a summer job. I'm just a young lad at the age of 20 but plan to be hanging around cameras for many years to come.

Man, I'm gettin old, I'm about to hit 23 in couple of weeks. Kinda depressing actually, the point in my life where I am seeing all my high school friends, turn from boys to mature men in many different ways. Life sux, lets make the best of it. :)

Why, I'd be 17. And lucky enough to have a father who's willing to bankroll my video hobby. He's 50-something.

I'm 27 :-)

New to the site (good work guys) and 45 years young, well,.....old.

I started hobby filming with Super 8 in 1976 (Canon Autozoom 1014 electronic). I switched to video in 1986 with a Panasonic VHS shoulder camcorder and stopped again pretty soon because of the crappy image quality and editing possibilities.

Second try in video with DV in 1999. In my business (computers) I'm specialized a bit in NLE systems based on Apple and FCP. I love videography and have created beside some event videos a couple of short projects based on travel reports or projects putting classical music into pictures (Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" i.e.). Actually I use a Canon XM1 (GL1) and I'm planning to switch to a JVC GY-HD100 as soon as I'm sure that it fits my needs and it's available.

Since some time I'm a (volunteer) forum moderator at an Australian adult website and I'm working in my free time to get my own web & media business (beside the computers) up and running http://www.outline-media.com.

I'm 19 years young.

Im the big 17....or maybe not so big ;)

27 years old as of 2005

It's hard to believe it's been over two years since Glen started this thread! Some of us have been hanging around here for a looonnng time.

Must confess that I've been deleting notifications, but tonight I decided to catch up. My best to Bob Trimmer of Medford, Oregon (we're sort of neighbors!). Glad you're having fun here!

Looking back I kept seeing names of bygone DVInfo-ers and feeling kind of sad. Oh man, that sounds so sentimental! Does that mean I'm gettin' old? ;)

(Note to Keith Forman: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing any numbers from you. And after all the trouble you gave everyone else! If you see this--time to fess up, Big Boy!!!) :)

:)~ Thhhhhhhhpt!

Ok Ken, time to update the average. I just turned another year older today. Add one to my previous posted age. :(

-gb-

Happy Birthday, Greg!!!!

I'd look back to see what number changed but I did that once already this year. :) Have a great day!

45. And I'm one woman who won't mind declaring this because I'm always asked for my student ID.

It took me a while arguing with the TGV ticket lady about my so-called "student ID" and realising the kick I was getting in the shins by one of the camera-crew guys with me. He told me later when I finally convinced the ticket lady that I was not a student that I could have gotten away with a lower fare if I had just said I was a student who forgot to bring my ID.

Yeah, riiiigggghttt.

In the video-business, your age is not of importance.
The older you get, the better you become.

My average age over the years is 33-----although I rarely act older than half that.

37, but I have more artificial parts than most men twice my age. I guess that's why I relate to Indiana Jones in that "It's not the years... It's the mileage".

it's all relative
 

when i tell people that i have been a professor at two universities and a lecturer at another, they assume i'm old. when i tell them i am only 30, they don't believe me (either they don't believe i am 30, or don't believe that i have taught at 3 places).

again - age is relative. i just find a way of packing in a lot of work in a short period.

35 and is pisses me off. :)

Im 28 and new to the forums!
