>> Well two things, I mean, in terms of a creative level, is digital.
Everything's done digitally editing wise.
Now, you can get, you know, lower costs editing software on your laptop and it's not
that expensive, even iMovie, and you can practice.
You can go out and, just with your iPhone, go in to iMovie and practice editing.
And, you get better by practicing, just like everything else.
I've been doing this for over 20 years, and I'm still, every movie,
I feel like I get better than I was in the previous one.
So, I would say, on a creative level, just start cutting things.
And, you know try and realize the power of different types positions and re--
and look at what, look at other movies and look at them with the sound on,
and then watch them with the sound off.
Because, you can really get a sense of the rhythm of it.
Or, the rhythm of the images, by watching stuff, with just the pictures.
And, in terms of the actual, physical, get a job.
If you're going to be in the movie business and you're going to be in Hollywood,
the thing is to try and use every connection you've made.
Either a tempo or wherever you are, and everybody you know, call them.
Don't be annoying, but, call them.
Make contacts, because, you never know where your job is going to come from.
It could be somebody you meet the first day.
It could take a year, but, so, you want to just stay in contact with everybody,
there's no set path to finding a job.
But, seek the opportunity when you have it, have a great attitude.
It may sound silly, but, have a great attitude, work hard.
Know your place in the editing room if it's the editing room, or film set.
Don't overstep, be helpful, but, don't be annoying.
And, you know, just have, having a great attitude in a job where your often working 12
to 14 hours a day, and that 14th hour, you're still good to be around, goes a long way.
So, you have to prove yourself when you get there, in terms of your ability.
But, you want to be a person that people want to hang out with.
Because, it's, they'll become, like your family.
And, you don't, you want to be somebody that everybody feels comfortable with.
So, you have to go out of your way.
Especially when you're at the bottom rung of the ladder.
Your want to be helpful, and you don't want to feel, you don't want to be entitled.
