subject: Youtube Breeding Professional Filmmakers [print this page] What do filmmakers all have in common? Well for a start they all have a creative flair about them, the vision to turn something that we might find ordinary into something quite fantastic and dazzling for the screen. We may all think that it is simply a case of pointing a camera at a situation and filming, but in actual fact to create a masterpiece you need to have flair, ambition, vision, direction and the ability to plan out in your mind just how you want things to go. That is why professional filmmakers can make the big money as opposed to the rest of us who upload our efforts on to YouTube.
There are positive aspects to YouTube though and one of those positive aspects is that it has allowed a new generation of talent to shine through. If you spend any amount of time watching some of the content that is put out on the social media network, you will quickly find that there are several individuals out there that have the flair, ambition, vision, direction and ability that is required to join the ranks of the professional filmmakers.
With the amount of video editing software that is available on various formats these days, whether it is on a PC or on an Apple Mac and with digital cameras that can record snippets of film in up to 10 mega pixels of definition these mobile band of filmmakers are starting to play an ever more important role in the media spotlight. You will constantly hear the news reporter appeal to the public at the end of most news bulletins or when a major story breaks to send in any footage that they might have acquired on their telephones, digital cameras or video recorders. We will all constantly be haunted by the visions of what happened on 9/11 and a majority of the footage shot on that day comes from people who picked up their cameras, phones, etc... and shot what was happening.
Of course the most graphic and terrifying footage of that frightful day comes from a couple of French filmmakers, Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who happened to be producing a documentary with one of the New York fire departments at the time the plane struck the tower. They rushed with the fire crew to the scene and caught a lot of the disaster on camera.
If you are interesting in filmmaking or you would like to get involved in the industry in 2010 then start looking for companies online that can help you achieve your ambition.
