Tom Miller · April 30th, 2011, 03:35 PM

20 video is a hobby that i picked up from going on church mission trips... My first was to Mississippi after Katrina in 2006 changed my life. I have never taken any class on film making everything i know i either thought my self or learned from a friend that's been in the film business for 20 some years. I continue to learn and get better every year

Born in 1979 They say I'm 32 now.

I have socks older then most of you here and I am wearing them now. ;-P

I am a ripe old 57!

Chris Harding · June 1st, 2011, 03:58 AM

Judging by my wife's comments about my socks..mine are probably even older.

I turn the dreaded 65 in August.....!! Still do around 30 wedding shoots a year and around 10 -15 Realty shoots a month so I keep busy!!!

NOW ...more importantly.....WHO is going to add up all the ages on all 50 pages of posts and actually calculate an average?????? or are we all too busy shooting video???

Twenty three... Start working in production/editing about 2 years ago (wow, just realized how short I've been in this) but I've been slicing in photoshop and editing in whatever I had at the time ever since high school.

25 years of age here.

Grew up in an AV predominant family so I've been around this for quite some time. Went to school for video production, but it was just community college so I didn't gather a ton of good info, I'm mostly self taught by experience and these wonderful forums.

I will be 38 in about 2 weeks.

Steve Humphrey · June 28th, 2011, 11:54 AM

Well, I'm kind of older @ 61. Although, I still enjoy recording and editing videos.

Jeremy Cole · July 19th, 2011, 11:36 AM

63 years young. I have been working in the video business since 1970 and the Sony portapack was introduced, a camera that used 1/2 inch reel-to reel BW tape EIAJ standard. Still have some of the documentaries I did. Now, if I only add a tape player to play them back on.

69, learning, and applying the Confucian reality, that, in this decade, "...my ears are responsive to the truth". I'm finding plenty on these pages and thanks for the sincerity, courtesy and responsiveness.

OK, so since we've had another break in the action on this thread, I'm a robust, agile 64! But who's countin' anyway! ;-)

Martyn Moore · March 15th, 2013, 01:08 AM

Born in 1961, making me 52 soon. Blimey. Wish you hadn't asked.

Started school as the Beatles hit the big time, left in the year of punk rock. Worked as a photographer then journalist then magazine editor from 1984 to 2008. Have been trying to reinvent myself as a film-maker (short, commercial, mostly online) since 2009.

John Carroll · March 15th, 2013, 07:06 AM

Started in the film business in 1987 and transitioned into corporate video production in 2004. Got my own company now since 2009. Been working in some corner of the industry for all my adult life. Almost went into the IT business in 2003... glad I dodged that bullet!

Ha Ha!

I'm 45.
