I was given special invitational access to the set of big budget movies. During this time I met a lot of very nice girls and guys, who were also pursuing some sort of art career. We all lived together in a very nice place near the beach, that was set up by a few European philanthropists and business professionals. I was invited to join for a residential stay which was very convenient at the time of a major transitional point in my life. 

When I first moved in, I must admit, I was a bit on my guard, and. I could not believe that people actually set up operations like this to assist artist.

Young filmmakers move up faster at Bahamasfilmindustry.com

Bahamasfilmindustry.com is making it easy for start ups to move ahead quickly, by pushing the limits of qualifications, accountability and credentials. Believe it or not you can get some meaningful movie experience just by watching a variety of different movies and paying close attention to things like lighting, the angles of shots, the type of music for certain scenes etc... . However, just watching movies won’t complete the package, find someone who is making movies consistently and talk your way onto the team, even if you have to start as a production assistant standing by to take care of small chores that pop up throughout the day. Even this could be a tough position to get into, but if you offer to work just for experience or deferred payment, more than likely you will beat out the competition. You could end up in a position which will ultimately lead to making money.

You can also utilize your local bookstore or library and read a book about film making, find one that can teach you all the technical things you need to know about film making. This Fall the megavisionkingdom.com will offer a wide range of opportunities for young movie makers that really mean business. They won't be free, then again nothing worthwhile
