I have heard it said, "An old person is a young person on the inside trying to figure out what happend."

Younger in spirit. Prehistoric in photography. God I love my HD-DV. I don't miss my Bolex H16 Turret.

Well, this year I turned 59 - been making docs since 1974, and it's more fun all the time!!

Love the new world of DV - soon to be HDV.

I'm 17 and I can only hope the age/skill continuum is exponential. ;)

"I think membership here really runs the gamut--we have plenty of teenagers and folks in their 50s and early 60s--but the numbers fall off sharply at 70s and 80s." Well, trust me, membership in anything starts to fall off in the seventies and eighties.

There was for a while a certain popular maxim about age: Age is just a number. I thought that was the funniest thing, as it posits the absolute denial of the value and effect of both experience and learning, and takes no responsiblity for either. No wonder it was a popular maxim. Probably still is popular.

I just started asking people when was the last time they said that to a five year-old child. Silence is usually the response. That or laughter.

Age is of course not the issue. Experience is. What have you done with your time?

Like the old soldier saying to the young soldier "'This your first time on a battlefield? Just a kid, you got so much to learn!" "Guess so" says the rookie. "Dunno how you're gonna catch up, kid. Me I got 20 years experience under my belt. Howya gonna stay alive long enough to catch up?"

One thoughtful answer is that the old-timer is more likely to have one year's battlefield experience repeated 19 times.

27 in April

30 is the new 20.

About forty three. Ahem.

But I agree with those who feel 15. Boy, a big part of me will forever be 15. Going to amusement parks, flirting with girls, riding my bicycle everywhere, doing tiny things that get me in trouble with superiors. Life is good.

I'm about 5 years ahead of you Phil, and I agree 110% with everything you said! They say 50 is the new 30.

26 this saturday boy i feel old :sad: =(.

I am 62 and up to the speed of a 31 year old

32 years old...Enjoying every bit of it!

67 and counting.

I am 49 but as far as how old i feel? I don't feel any age crazy as that might seem. Maybe its because i have better things to think about than my age? who knows?

enjoy life no matter what age you are and it will most probably be of no importance, maybe. Anyway have a nice day and a nice life okay )))

18 (still very much a kid)

47 in Canadian years, which works out to barely 40 in US years.

I started at zero and progressed to 42 in a linear fashion, so my average age is 21.

24. Wow, I'm pretty young.

I've officially reached FITTY since the 23rd. I've lost my keys, glasses & my mind :-\

Turning 50 this month (May). Now the years start being subtracted from the age, right?

Don't feel any different than I did when I was 15 really. Well, maybe a bit wiser.

Hey,

I'm 28...and wishing i got into this stuff when i was 17...
I'm still young enough to swim out at my local surf spot and take a beating with my camera so it's all good!

For me the southern dawn has broken 21,170 times and I hope for another 10,000 or more ...

Good for you Hague.

I can only hope for a clip, in your spare time, of your bathwater disappearing anti-clockwise ...

Nice to see all of you young film makers. I have three grown children, six growing grandchildren. I started to make movies when I was 15. Lets see, that wouldl be 55 years ago! Turned 70 just this month (June, 07) Last week I taught at a film workshop for children. This week I am finishing a film for a large church. I am a retired music teacher and a professional trumpet player,and yes, I still practice every day. So staying busy in my sort of old age.

I am 45 by the way.

Just 20..

But already studying film from the age of 15, and planning to keep doing it for many years to come..

I am as old as my tongue but older than my teeth and don't have many of them. 58

Young, dumb at 22 :D

Took a 960 hr. course in "Television Studio Operations" in 1984. Then shot VHS with JVC tube cameras onto 20 min. U-matic portable! VCR, while in training division for a few years. Haven't touched a video camera until I retired and bought my new Canon XH-A1 in July 2007. Only 85 switches (I counted them). Now on learning curve. DV-i has lots of great info! I plan to produce training DVD's and assist others who need another cameraman for multi-camera gig's.

18... I think I was 17 when I joined :P

Glad I found this site too... I wish more people registered and responded though, I see 20-30 people viewing a forum and never see a new post for 3-4 days... I'm used to the 16th biggest forum in the world where 1000 people are posting at 3am...

I turn 29 this Friday (9/7/07). w00t-w00t!

I'm 71 and I made my first film in 1948 at age 12 and my first one for money in 1958. I've never been employed; always a freelancer since then to this day.

38 tomorrow.

19 and 3/4 as of yesterday

I'm still a youngster at 15.
