Man this is just awesome stuff! You have reignited my passion for films and being creative and helped get me back on my path for now anyway.

Have you ever contacted the folks at Lynda.com about doing some tutorials for them?

I don’t even know where to start! I have been a huge fan of film since childhood. I did however put the dream of film-making aside to take care of my family by joining the military and serving for 17 years. After I was diagnosed with an illness and told I had about 5 years to live is when I decided to go to film school where I have since graduated a week ago. My biggest delima is where to start. There are so many avenues to take and deciding which one is the toughest challenge.(at least for me anyway) It has been 5 years since I was told that I would pass away and now all i can think about is making my first film! Anyone, any advice?

First off – absolutely gorgeous! I’m sorry I’m commenting so late after the fact, I just signed up to the site recently.
Second, I thought it was really cool that you chose that piece by Holst as the soundtrack for some of your shots around the ranch! Since Holst is widely regarded as John Williams inspiration for creating many of the Star Wars themes. But I’m sure you knew that

Because you are watching a compressed version which removes noise. I prefer the 5d for sure
