Inspirations?!

Some of my inspirations in terms of vfx on YouTube have been drew casson with his channel as kermitcasson and Freddie wong with his as freddiew. Their effects are really good, and would be worth checking out. One of my favourite effects from drew's channel is teleportation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGo9u1XaCJQ and from freddie's is gun shootout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nQzs48Tt9U these are the guys that helped me try out different and new effects so check them out.

How I started making films

I first started my interest in films when i was young and got my first camera phone, the fact that a person could capture a living moment and then watch over and over again fascinated me. Me along with my brother and cousins started making random fight scenes and films as a joke when we had 'nothing to do'. As i grew up watching Hollywood films with vfx and explosions interested me more. Mainly i was hooked on Harry Potter and the way the spells were done. As technology advanced the quality of cameras got better for consumers. Eventually i got hold of a digital HD 720p camcorder and things started to get serious. While doing this i also developed better skills in acting. The biggest leap for me was probably when i got hold of some vfx software, i was not only so happy at  the result of some of the effects but peoples reaction when they saw it e.g family, friends. My most popular effect was teleportation as seen in films like jumper:

...and thats how i got started with film making. Read my other posts about my other projects and upcoming effects.
