Maybe they don’t have “Grapes of Wrath” or “Abbey Road” at the end of the month, or maybe they do—but that’s not the point. The point is they get busy and stop waiting around for the muse to appear. Get the gears moving. Do something."

"I'm a High School student that lives in the Bay Area. I am a huge fan of the Golden State Warriors. I film with a pretty inexpensive camera called the Canon HV30 w/a Raynox DCR-6600 wide conversion lens. I use a Rode NTG-2 shotgun microphone for my sound and I edit in FCS2."
