Filmmaker's Toolbox

I decided to create the group so that beginner and advanced filmmakers can practice their skills. Everybody involved in any aspect of making movies will benefit from this meet-up group. Here a list of benefits for each group: -Actors can get their performance recorded so that they can use the footage to build their profiles and upload the material to their websites or just watch their peromance. -Directors can direct the actors and scenes. -The cinematographers can practice their skills by filming the scene and trying different type of lighting to get different moods. -Writers can bring their screenplays and see their dialog performed and recorded. -Editors can edit the recorded scenes and add any special effects to the footage. -Etc. As you can see you will be able to learn and practice your skills by collaborating with other filmmakers. Most starting filmmakers already have a full time job and spend their free time learning about filmmaking but it is really hard to practice and hone their skills. By coming to the meetups you will be able to learn, practice and meet people with the same interest. You will also be able to collaborate in projects and ideas that might interest you.
