...which is a good thing, I assure you.
I've been coming to this board for 4 years and Vincent takes care of business LIKE NOONE ELSE CAN. The regulars and old-schoolers disseminate (sp?) info when we can, but Vincent is head and shoulders on top of all things, even if he's throwing some sarcasm around (which is tough to read in a text-only, internet world, incidentally). He's sharing his knowledge and experience, when it would be much easier to ignore posts entirely. Cripes, every time I see a "Do you have any advice on how to get started in filmmaking" post, my head explodes. Literally. Explodes. And that is NOT an easy thing to deal with.
Vincent also happens to be a very talented filmmaker in his own right. Now I'm not going to get preachy here on wasting bandwith, but Vincent 'brings something to the table', as an old poster once put it, every time. More people should be following his lead, or barring that, not wasting everyone's time with meaningless posts.
To Vincent, I say Huzzah!
Always,
Michael Raben
