:) Thank you too!

I've been asking myself the same exact question! I've had luck with both https://www.redgiant.com & http://www.cinegrain.com . But if you hear of anymore, please do let me know.

Plugins for music videos are great. I've found a couple from rampant design. And I just found one called Prolost for 12 bucks that changes exposure and speed ramps footage. Of course the best thing about plugins is you can modify them, you're not stuck with just what they give you. If you have time, you can always make your own grunge textures using a piece of glass, dirt, and a black background.

Thanks Tony! i appreciate that. i thought about the glass idea. Have an AWESOME day!

:) Thank you!

Nice to meet you also! Thanks! :)

Thank you as well! :)

Back at ya! :)

I agree! Its my many failures that made me better each time. You learn what not to do, or how not to do something. Then the next time, youre more prepared for sucess. I embrace failure as part of the process as i continually try to suceed. Awesome post! Have an AWESOME DAY / Night!

Failing forward

Nice to meet you! Hope your days AWESOME! see ya around.

Hey Matthew, this is Julie from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Acting to Your Stage, as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!

Awesome!

Thank you!

Congratulations, Patrick!

Hello Tony! Ive learned that the more you know, the more valuable become. If you just edit, then you are familiar with the best visual presentation to work with. With that said, why not venture into filming? The ones that go the farthest, are the ones that have the most set of skills. There are lots of schools that teach a specific curriculum (Special Ed, Learning Disabled, deaf, etc...) That are trying to get thier lessons online. (for promotion of thier copyright lessons to sell, and to promote thier schools.) Thats how i got my 1st Professional job. A little playing around with a camera, with editing knowledge, may take you to the next level. If you film already as well, look into special/private schools. Dont do what eveyone else is, think outside the box. If i sound like i dont know what the heck im talking about... sorry, im new here. lls. Have an AWESOME Night!

Hello all, thanks for your feedback. Funny you mention filming Matthew, I have been playing with basic cameras to learn more about it. Nothing fancy though, more to get a feel for the different angles and lighting concepts. I guess with there being so many different areas that you can go into its hard to know where to start.

It is hard to know where to start. that keeps alot of people from... starting. Youre on the right track. just start something. Im on sound now. rec/effects. Just keep learning and trying new things. Its all relavant to your carrer of Editing, and will only help. I Hope you have an AWESOME weekend!

Thank you! Nice to meet you! Hope you have an AWESOME day/weekend!
