Me... I am fully obessed. I think about films/movies at least 3 times an hour probebly. And i mean like these are like 10 minute ponders so pretty much half my day is getting wasted thinking about/wanting to make movies.
Its even starting to influence my school work. 2 essays had to be written in English so far. I did one on Robert Rodrieguez and one on my addiction to cinema/films/movies.
Just wondering if i was alone or if there was others......

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I can't ever go a day without thinking about filmmaking.

Not totally obsessed, but I do find myself thinking about it a lot. I can't watch TV anymore without analyzing the music, the framing, etc. Even better, my wife now does it too, and she's not in film school. 😀

Jah, well I am only a junior in high school and at the moment I'm looking into the different options in film. x_x I dun like the idea of stress but FILM IS AN ART. The process is a splender to analyze. Of course I understand that in reality I'd be working with scratch. I'd have to talk to people about my idea (get through to them effectively) meet with many people...meet deadlines. >_< heh, perhaps i'm getting way ahead of myself. I have this huge idea (as anyone does -_-; kinda makes me feel dumb) but it'll come through and if it works out right...this'll be the biggest thing since Harry Potter. -harry potter fan here- ANYWAY, I love film, it facinates me not only the graphics but how much work is put into it. I wouldn't want to do a film in vain. I've always liked the idea of getting a message through to that person that you sometimes see pass by and you have to wonder about what they are thinking or going through. A lot has been opening doors into this "new realworld" but so much still is tainted. It feels so fake when it's suppose to be something real.
x_x yea well...peace out! -fade-

I am failing most of my classes because all I do is daydream about great movie ideas. That and Jennifer Gardner!

Never "wasted"!
I mean if you're wanting to make films then any time you devote to the subject is time well spent.

I know what you mean, my recent coursework for english 'dramatic effectiveness of scene of your choice in macbeth' was just filled with analysing of roman polanski and orson welles films and how i would do it myself, i always think of how u could set things and although im only new to film making im hoping to buy my first camera soon, i've been saving, hopefully i can put some of my ideas on film ?:)?

I'm obsessed with film, but I use it to make films instead of talking about it!

All I am professionally is in my filmwork.
I watch, analyze, write, produce, eat, breath, and when I
sleep, which is not very much, I dream of my ideas.
Personally, my kids are all I've got, but professionally, film is what defines me.

I've discovered I strongly dislike watching TV just for the heck of watching TV.?xx(?
My brain is always on "production mode" because the right side of my brain never sleeps. So I will sketch screenplays and such just for learning how camera angles really work. It's very interesting and has even given me a new outlook on how I view things.

What grade am I? Erm... that's a complicated question, actually. ??)?
You see, I'm supposed to be a freshman, but I'm a sophomore. However, I have enough credits to graduate next year, which is exactly what I plan on doing, and I have never been home-schooled. And I'm oh.. only 14. ????8)?
Other than that, I've never really skipped any grades. I'm also hearing impaired too, so you can tell I busted my butt getting to where I am, so don't think I'm quitting there.

I'm going on to make successful films and nothing will stand in my way! ?:D?
I self-motivate myself and talk too much. *lol* ?:I?
