OK, here's how I got into the industry.
I went to film school and studied not only art direction and composition but editing.
I decided I wanted to be an editor.
I pretty much hung out my shingle and started to do freelance editing for adult companies. I took a job working as a web designer for a smaller company and eventually coaxed them into promoting me to their senior video editor position.
I started to shop around for a company that I really liked. I found that Fratmen - a company of which I was a huge fan - was looking for a part time editor.
I called the owner/director up and convinced him to hire me.
I sold everything, left everything behind and moved to LA where I slept on a friend's floor for five months while working part time for Fratmen and doing freelance work on the side.
I was soon hired on full time and given LOTS of other jobs.... marketing, publicity, promotion, product development, whole sale and affiliate management and about 30 other things.
I was promoted to VP earlier this year.
I love my job and I'd never change it for anything. dont' worry about the people who act like your'e crazy for wanting into this industry.. it's very rewarding, exciting, fun and worth every minute.
Some people are born for porn.
some are not.
You know which is you.
THANK YOU SOILWORK!....I know I wanna do this,I just didn't know where to start!..what classes I should take in school,whether it be editing,or photgraphy ect. I know usc is a good place to go if you wanna study movie directing,so that's how I get confused as to which one I should pick!.....Congratulations on becoming VP for fratmen!...that's so awesome,I truly hope I reach my goal and make it into the industry! Thanks man!
