    Several amateur films never meant for distribution. I've played parts in skits for a public broadcasting show that some friends of mine hosted every other week. I have also had the chance to be the cameraman for a few situations, usually involving my nephews. The important thing is to keep the camera steady and filming. Editing can take care of excessive lengths or unwanted images. Nothing professional though, nor will filmmaking ever be for me.

    Never shot film but over 1000 hours broadcast DVCAM\DVCPRO\HD - pro sports, documentaries -many of them...etc. and sooooo many bands and music videos. Docs and music stuff was the cool but film is totally different .

    Jesus man, who said you're lying!?!?!

    So:

    Local bands or global ones?
    And... what documentaries have you filmed?


    PS I have no idea what BROADCAST - TV - HD means. Would that be your American public access channels then?

    I am an artist, i never once shot pron docus? that crap is an abomination to my craft.

    I guess he want stories, like meeting DeNiro...I cant discuss that but to me it was all just looking through a lens and making sure everything was perfect. Big bucks involoved to chock and takes precision.

    Oh, and editing too...i can cut on anything.

    I once tried my hand at video production but became disinterested when I started adding up the numbers that I needed to make money as to how mush I had to spend in rentals of everything to make any type of high quality production. It just didn't show me that I could make more than I was spending then trying to sell what I produced was going to be a nightmare for only a few TV companies were in the business of paying for stuff that I was trying to set up. I was going to produce game shows that I had invented and were really great for there times. Matter of fact there are a few of them that I came up with now being shown on TV. I was just to far ahead of my time and I didn't have and "connections".

    So, the documentaries were about broadcast, television, and high definition? What were the highlights?
