Im thirteen now and planning on making some more films,reviews's,and retrospective so please subscribe to my channel so I can live the dream now like James
im 12- i love movies and aspire to be a director, after watching this i decided to get 300 pounds out my bank and buy a camera and some decent editing software! im sure my life story wont be as epic/ dramatic as yours but you have inspired me to make films! thank you james, your a legend
You have inspired me to make my own films with anything like movies or stop motion Godzilla films so I just wanted to say thanks and I will keep watching Cinemassacre and AVGN
you are a true inspiration james! best of luck with the AVGN movie! speaking of the AVGN movie, i was wondering if you were going to both act in and direct the movie?
This hits me so close to home. I did the same thing w/ my family's camera. Back then editing programs were extremely expensive so I got a duel-deck VCR. There was a mic input so I could put music & foley in. The mix feature was very primitive & the original audio came out slightly muted. Eventually I got a mic w/ volume control. It still posed problems, but I got it to work ok. Then when I was 15, I got a primitive editing program & a digital camera. (Also very expensive then.) That was game on!
@Dw4ttz ok, thing change i guess and most schools do it differently, some have 5th grader w/6,7,8 graders others have 9th w/7 and 8th, its weird the ways schools do it
Honestly, this is one of my favorite documentaries of all time. I am a filmmaker and seeing this proves, in my heart, that if someone wants to make art, they will make art, no matter what circumstances they are in or what they have around them. James Rolfe is an auteuristic genius, and deserves so much more praise than just AVGN compliments. The guy LOVES his craft and puts his heart and self into everything he makes.
Wow James Rolfe. I am truly amazed that you actually went so far with the VHS camcorder as to actually edit your own movies by having the patience and sheer will to do the two VCR thing. You definitely have worked for all of your success. I'm having a Rolling Rock just for you brother.
@HerecomestheCalavera I do believe he's been providing free content for Youtube by reuploading his eps to Youtube. I'm not sure about you, but that seems fair enough for me to be honest :c
@HerecomestheCalavera You do realize he'd been a partner just a month ago, eh. He's been uploading videos here in youtube without any monetary compensation since five years ago, back when he's still at #9 most subscribed channel.
I'd found a great article about James' passion in film-making, anyone interested go read and be inspired :)
lifereboot. com/2008/finding-success-through-passion/ (just delete the space from (dot) and (com) :)
*I swear the site and article is legit XD I just want to share this to fellow fans especially now that James is pushing through with his AVGN feature-length film.
This is a classic case of following your heart. Too many people these days wind up in careers that do not satisfy them on an emotional basis and end up unhappy. People should embrace what they really want to do, even if it's not something that may result in financial stability, because in the end, it's the passion that will see you through.
This Video inspired me to make my fan films. I would deeply appreciate it if you checked them out. I have a Spiderman Fan Film and part 1 of a Nightmare on Elm Street Fan Film (I have 2 make them into parts bcuz my vids can only be 10 min) Thank you sooooo much :)
uugggghhhhhh...sorry but I really can't stand screaming kids, every day there is a mafia group of deaf dumb fucks from another country that like to scream into the sky and when nothing is even happening. IT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT!
You know your someone when you make a documentary about yourself and get over 1 million views. A Thomas Edison movie in Youtube wouldn't make this much views lol.
What you´re telling there about battling two or more VCRs almost brought me to tears -- I too have wasted weeks of my life trying to edit the movies I shot with my pals. It was hell, during that time I learned how much callories are burned by constant concentration only.
But as today everything is better and digital and stuff, the dead movies of the olden times will rise, RIIISE!!!
I am just like you James. I have maked movies since I was eight years old and before that i was drawing all the time. Now I make all different genres but my passion is to make movies and I make them all the time.
It axtully takes me one year to make one movie because I spend so much time preparing me for the shooting. When i shoot the film it can take three months ore more to edit.
i wanna start making vids soon im 13 and im gonna take film in high school
