Graduated in the 80's with a physics degree, joined the air force and flew around the world for 30 years. After retiring I went back to school and earned and associates degree in film making, and now work in feature films. Usually in the camera department or special effects (so I get to use some physics). Mainly I'm here out of curiosity than anything else. I start reading about something and that leads me to questions that I rack my brain to try to ignite 30 year old knowledge or I search the internet for, but many times come up empty. So it thought it would be cool to join in and learn from real people who are active in the industry. Thanks for the add.

Cheers,
Dave
