Albert Phaneuf, aspiring filmmaker

Career Q & A Interview: Part 4 of 5-Hardcore, Voluntary Professional Development Boot Camp

Comm Creatives:

What advice would you give other aspiring filmmakers?

Albert Phaneuf:

“While in school, be active in classes. I was a work-study student at NYIT and I really cared about what I was doing and learned to use the equipment. And if I wasn’t in class and I was on campus, I was in the communication arts department, even after my work-study money ran out. This led me to learn about the equipment outside of class. I really got more in-depth with learning to use Final Cut Pro. Ultimately, I started working on projects that may not have been involved with the school but personnel of the school would be hired to direct a project and I would get called to operate the camera or be the boom operator.  Learn how to do more than one function, don’t just learn how to shoot a camera, learn how to work the audio and learn how to edit also. The more things you know, the better you will be at what you do and the more marketable and desirable you will become for employers.”
