Names Leon. I'm an LJ member (where I found this website) and enjoy Role Playing. Unfortunately, I have fallen into a downward spiral and have been lacking in the creativity department. I want to fix that. I NEED to continue role playing and start thinking out of the box by any means necessary.

I'm 21; I'm a student who's majoring in Film and Advertising. I have a tendency to procrastinate. XD That's just about it.

Oooh, a film student! Do you want to make movies? commercials? tv shows?

Welcome to the forum, feel free to make a character and post in the thread asap! can't wait for you to join in!

Thanks for welcoming me!

And yep; movies, commercials, and/or TV shows! I'm actually more interested in producing films. I know, I'm going to need a lot of money but I'm sure I can pull it off. :3

What exactly goes into producing? I always thought they were mostly financially backing projects but I'm guessing that's a bad assumption '~'
So you would be doing Hollywood films ideally? Or independent stuff?

Mostly it's all about organizing and scheduling. And you're right; producers usually finance the whole project. Some say it's better to go into marketing but in the movie / TV business, it's a lot better if you intern to get a head start on things. It's also good if you "know people" in the movie business. I was hoping I can work for some big company distributors or studios like Warner Brothers or Universal Studios.

I think it would be smart if I start out working on independent films and work my way to the top.

ah, the whole "knowing someone" deal... I wish entertainment industries weren't like this, but it seems like they all are. Well, good luck! I hope you get a solid internship as it can be super helpful in making connections and trying to get job placement. I wish it was easier to network in the comic's industry but I'm finding more and more each day how hard it is...

That's what we're here for! It's pretty awesome that you're into the arts! I'm glad a lot of the people here seem to be. I go to an art school myself and I know what you mean about creativity getting the best of you. It's hard to keep coming up with fresh new things!
But this will help, hopefully...exercise those creative muscles : ).

hey Leon! We haven't heard much form you in quite some time, we'd love to have you come back and contribute
