My first question to you would be do you have a love of film or the arts in general, are you able to tell a story with a beginning, middle and end? Whenever you watch a film do you just 'watch it' and forget about it, well it was only a film, or do you question why the director used a particular style of editing, lighting or narrative? A lot of the forum members have that storytelling bug inside us, we can't get rid of it and it's something that's inside you from an early age. I remember when I was small I used to stay behind in the cinema and read the credits at the end of the film while everyone else was leaving, I'd always have to be dragged out by my mother or father.

I also realised recently I read the extra features on the back of dvd movie cases now more than ever to see if there is a directors commentary and if there are any featurettes on compositing, cgi, foley/adr, preproduction, production and post production. Does this sound like something you have a yearning to do, or do all those terms scare the life out of you. Before you get carried away with buying camcorders, computers and software, do you have that bug aswell?
