New Members: Introduce Yourself


 
     

Re: New Members: Introduce Yourself

Hey, all.  I’m new.  I found this place through a message my Mom got on a homeschool e-mail group. 

I haven’t done much to my profile yet, but you can get a fair idea of my tastes, preferences, et cetera, in my profile.  I am an aspiring composer—I have not completed any works yet, but I have some ideas I have written sketches for and am working on developing into pieces, and I am looking at going for a BM in Composition next year to further my musical vocabulary and technical ability. 

I’m pretty busy at this point in my life, between school, work, church, and practicing my intrument(s) (upright bass being the focus right now, playing electric bass in church, and working up the piano, which is one of my real instrumental passions), so it’s been difficult to find time for creative outletting.  One of the things I’ve done in spare time is editing music and some video.  I tried to make one edit, but for some reason the quality didn’t come out well at all, so I’ve kind of toyed with it. 

I have a lot of ideas that I hope to see come to fruition.  I find it troublesome that, twistedly, most of the good art comes from outside Christian circles—at least on a large scale.  My perspective is to glorify God not only in the message and worldview of my art, but also in the quality of it.  I’m excited at the prospect of conversing with, and hopefully collaborating with, fellow believers who share a similar goal and vision. 

I look forward to reading, posting, and creating in the future.

Hi, my name is Erin, I’m 17 years old, and I live in Idaho. Acting is my primary passion: theater or film, I really don’t have a preference. I also love to direct and film movies with my friends when I get the chance. I haven’t been in anything that could be considered “professional” but I was in a film (a very small role, mind you) that was in a film festival a couple of years ago… This month I will be attending some acting workshops that I’m very excited about. One is taught by Hallie Todd(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0865177/) and her husband.

Hey fellow filmmaking brothers and sisters, I’m Sean Anderson. I’m studying film here at Bob Jones University. I’m really excited about the networking possibilities this site has. Film is all about that. Can’t wait to get on the forums and get involved!

Welcome, Sean! I actually went to school in South Carolina, although I went to Wofford, which is up the road from you a bit. I did have some very close friends who attended Bob Jones, though. Welcome to the boards!

....and don’t mind the crazies.  wink

Welcome! You live in Idaho? Where? If you have Skype (skype.com) you might want to looking to joining the Western Christian Media Group (http://www.wcm.absoidaho.com). Actors would be most welcome, I fairly sure about that smile .

Hello, my name is Victoria Emmons and I thought I’d introduce myself. grin

I’m an actress and I’m excited with what roles God has giving me, and I’m also looking forward to what He has planned in the future.

Thank you for all your input and tips on this board. I’ve enjoyed looking around and learning things I didn’t know before.
