I can see well beyond the propaganda and both understand the situation from both the war fighter and concerned civilian perspectives. When I first joined my Combat Camera Unit I quickly realized I had much to live up to. My fellow teammates and I were the 'technical descendants' of Director John Ford among a host of famous filmmakers and photographers down through the decades. </p> <p>Though I suspected it beforehand, I found that ours was a unique profession. We were warriors, but our job was 'Telling the Story of War'. I remember talking with some young Marines on a mission and they couldn't understand why I carried a camera instead of a rifle. My answer was, "I carry a rifle too, but if you see me change out my camera for the weapon we're in trouble!"</p> <p>I passed on the 'torch' years ago and now a new generation is doing what I did by taking the latest technical innovations into the field to tell today's war stories. Shot with the Canon 5DMkII The video "Why We Fight" by Army Specialist Matt Freire and 1st Lieutenant Tyler Ginter gives us the story of one unit of the Afgan Special Forces from their point of view. </p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10100482">Why We Fight</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/tylerginter">Tyler Ginter</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/cracking-down-on-student-films#post-56248 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:13:52 +0000 composite1 56248@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>(insert long sigh) Yes, I admit I too made a 'Student Film'. Had to otherwise they wouldn't have let me graduate. That said, I did my very best to avoid as many cliche's as humanly possible to keep it from looking totally like a student film. Actually, I hate student films. Most are so horrific that when an actual gem pops up I can literally hear Handel's "Messiah" with full orchestra and angelic choir loud and clear.</p> <p>The following film "Script Cops" by Scott Rice brings to realization of the 'crackdown' on student films that's long been overdue.</p> <p>vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks</p> <p>Unfortunately, this video can't be embeded so if you want to see it, just copy the link and drop it in your browser search bar.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/reinactment-video#post-52183 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:19:57 +0000 ddc 52183@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> looking for short reinactment video's for a law enforcement presentation "don't be a victim" this is for <em>public access tv</em>, raw video or complete,any experience level: for script and info: email <a href="mailto:msvctv@msvctv.com/"><a href="mailto:msvctv@msvctv.com">msvctv@msvctv.com</a>/</a> check msvctv.com website also. this is an opportunity to get your work on tv. we guide you through the complete process, you retain rights and gain realworld experience.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/a-question-for-experienced-video-production-specialists#post-50878 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:24:19 +0000 rjdthree 50878@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am a recent college graduate whom accepted an internship at an advertising firm. The company is small (20-30 employees) but is growing, as they are creating a Video Department in order to eliminate the high prices charged by independent contractors. I am being trained to be their Video Production Specialist in order to bring all production in-house. I shoot and edit for them, and am supposed to help start writing too. </p> <p>My days usually, I will shoot video for them on an AG-HVX200, either in their green screen studio or on location, edit said video using FCP, as well as AfterEffects, and collaborate and coordinate with other graphic designers and/or writers.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I think that they are training me, a recent graduate, because they do not want to pay an experienced video specialist more money. I am afraid that they will low ball their salary offer to me, so I was looking for any input on what I would be fair. I don't want to want to be taken advantage of. How much should I be expecting? </p>
