Motion picture I never got into.

I went to a tech college video production program in the mid 90s. I did a lot of internship with the local public television station on campus and made some friends with the staff.

That helped me get a job at the network headquarters. I was apparently the first one ever hired there from the tech college program that anyone could remember.

A media arts grad here in SC would have worked in motion pictures.

I miss 35mm film cameras sometimes and darkroom developing sometimes.

That’s great! Like me, you probably also worked with the old 3/4” video decks and tube cameras. Ha! One of my few career claims to fame was buying the very last batch of 16mm film 1730 (sp?) commercial grade stock from Kodak at the time everyone transitioned to HD. Calling the girl at Kodak was like calling Dunder Mifflin. I’m in real estate investing now, but interest killed me last year. I’m tempted to get back into side gig editing. Was a fun career.
