Student films
Our own triggerphzyc is studying Communication Design at Billy Blue College of Design. She recently created a short film noir with three other students. That's Trig as "Fay" (click image for HD video):
It was filmed with a Cannon DSLR. Each student made their own final cut for their grade. Trig edited this version with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Another friend of mine named Will Rosecrans (a.k.a. forkazoo) also directed a student film recently, at the UCLA Summer Institute for Film Production 2014. I know forkazoo through my work in computer graphics, not Assassin's Creed. He has been making comedy films since he was 13 or something. After The Matrix came out, he mailed me a VHS of his parody called The Vector, complete with low budget CGI. That was hilarious!
Anyway, here is Will's latest film project My Dinner With Megatron. It's heavy on the Transformer references...
Creating films looks fun. Is Triggerphzyc going to make a career out of this or is it a hobby?
I'm hoping to get into some classes for this. BEHIND the camera. I can't act whatsoever.

I couldn't reach Trig for an answer. I think she's going into some sort of art design career but not specifically film. This was one of those assignments they give to all art students and she seemed to be unfamiliar with the tools and process.
Here's another student film from the UCLA Summer Institute for Film Production 2014. This one is really good in my opinion. Forkazoo is an extra (the student wearing glasses in the background below). Other than that, he had nothing to do with the production.
