And yea I don't know if you read my post of tips but make short videos, each video practice with something, like one practice with sound, doing scene transactions with sound, using a boom mic (I prefer) and what-not, then directing, editing, lighting, special effects (you want great special effect programs go to FXHome.com) then work on a great movie, and put all your skills together and enter it into a film festivle or something... who knows you could walk home with a couple awards
And me afraid to get dirty? Heck no lol I've been burnt, shocked (my own stupidity but it was funny lol) spray painted on, smashed fingers and such... haha even whipped with a shop towel dipped in automatic transmission fluid to make me bleed lol we were bored when we finished putting our transmissions back together in that class haha I've even caught some motor oil in my mouth (don't ask how lol)
