I get the sense we have a pretty good handful of filmmakers on the huddle. Well here's a thread to talk about it. A few questions for you to answer to kick things off (if you want to):

-Your specialty

-Your gear if applicable

-What school you went to

-How long you've been making movies

-Your inspiration and influences

-Your website/ youtube channel/ portfolio etc.

-Plans for the future

I'll give my answers in a bit

More writing than filming although I wouldn't mind doing that.

As for influences I try to limit that so what I do or write is truly original andmy own. Subconciously yes I have been influenced but I try to make a concerted effort to be on my own.

-Your specialty

As of now I'm just a JOAT, Master of none. I'm starting to gravitate to directing, writing, and production design

-Your gear if applicable

Looking towards getting the Canon EOS T3i as a starter, might post amazon wishlist later

-What school you went to

NC State and UNCW as of now

-How long you've been making movies

2-3 years

-Your inspiration and influences

Early Peter Jackson, Tarantino, Spike Lee, Nolan

-Your website/ youtube channel/ portfolio etc.

I have a channel but it's mostly a bunch of student films that I hate and that suck

-Plans for the future

I'd like to branch out and start another channel that will be more professional and represent more of my own vision. Eventually I'd like to land on a TV production since my brain is more wired for episodic storytelling.

yeah I guess it's the most popular right now for a reason

What kind of software are you using?

My son has a 15" Macbook and got a deal on a student version of the CS6 suite.

I don't know crap about video editing, but we use Photoshop CS5 here at work for imagery editing/production and it's pretty freaking awesome.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
