TJPARSONS LINKS
A BRIEF MESSAGE FOR THE LINKS THAT FOLLOW
Most modern web pages have done away with link pages in their format. For the most part, these are things of the past. I want to present to you a page of links that I believe you may find interesting and sometimes perhaps fulfilling in some respect. All links below are ones that I personally endorse and are congruent with themes contained on this page and some aligned personal beliefs, and pleasures.
Have fun, and I hope you find some of the stuff here as entertaining and or helpful as I did when I first found it.
Also if you have some film festivals you'd like me to include, drop me a line, I've love to add them.
Thanks,
TJPARSONS

INDY MOGUL

Category: RESOURCES
- I highly recommend a visit to this site as it covers many grounds in an independent production. The special effects they show you how to do are very very reasonably priced to fit even a micro budget. The tutorials are entertaining and easy to understand. I have no doubt that several techniques on this Website along with some other supplemental material you could be well on your way to making Hollywood give you a double take. These guys do what they do because they enjoy it, and it shows.

Though the website that follows may seem a little bit dated. Do not let that turn you off. This is a good starting point for beginners. Anyone that wants to get started in Film or Video can benefit from the information that follows. Lots of good low budget film ideas, several good links, some sound advice. I like this site because it talks about several things that people ask me about all the time, but its all in one place. A jumping off point to help you realize "the more you learn about film, the more you know you don't know jack". This site will give you some good words to start your journey into filmmaking.
