However, that camera was a peice of shit that belonged to my grandma and unfortunately I had to delete the editing program from my computer to preserve space. Though I loved doing it all and I wasn't that upset because I plan on going to college and get some money to get some better equip. and hopefully right some shorts or indies and direct or edit them. I'm pretty much open to the whole thing though.

I plan on going to a film school in Austin or going to a community college there for 2 years in video production, and then go to a university.

What do you suggest? Could I just say fuck the 2 years at a community college and go to a film school and get an associates in video production or like a bachalors in video technology?


It is all up to you. Below is a link to UNO's arts degree site. It says it requires 120 credit hours. That would be a four year program, so I don't see the harm in going straight into that degree program. You would graduate college with a four year degree which would be good enough for a lot of jobs even if you decided later you didn't want to do that any more.

If you would like to get a two year first in video production though it couldn't hurt. As I said, it all depends on what you would like to do. A two year degree in video production plus the four year would help I'm sure, but I would suggest looking at the courses of study. You may find out most of what you would take in the two year program is included in the 4 year degree as well.
