As much as I love ‘Earth is space Australia’, I love ‘Earth is Space Australia and the aliens haven’t figured it out yet!’ far more. ‘Cause lets face it, humans have a great ability to go on and on about minor inconveniences while at the same time severely underplaying the big ones. So aliens get the impression that humans are incredibly weak because we spend a day in bed from a headache, or gripe for an hour about a paper cut and then turn around and walk on a broken leg or consider a gushing head wound nothing to worry about. 

so I want aliens to get the impression that earth is a perfectly normal place to live, a couple of dangerous fauna, maybe some troubling weather patterns but nothing too terrifying. Then an earthling makes an offhand comment about earthquakes (and the alien’s think that they are joking because the earth’s crust? moving? Ridiculous!) But another chimes in and they think that it’s just a normal thing? That happens sometimes? and then they start talking about tornadoes and what is this? 

And the weather has nothing on the animals! The aliens are used to some large toothy predators, maybe a couple of little poisonous skittering things. But large orange felines that are capable of blending effortlessly into their environment? Rodents capable of chewing through metal? Small fish that climb into your reproductive organs and cannot be removed?????? That is horrifying. Even the most innocuous of their tiny insects is capable of carrying horrendous diseases. 

Like I just want aliens standing there staring in horror as a group of earthlings casual discuss their near death escapes as though they are completely normal and nothing to worry about and slowly come to the dawning realisation that these people are insane. 

To the man who reminds me of a diamond - a gem that shines bright, is multifaceted, resilient, and the strongest stone in the world:

Kim Seokjin. You are the metaphorical equivalent of a gem so precious, you deserve to be treasured by every inch that makes you who you are. 

Thank you for everything.

when starting as a young filmmaker, what do you think you begin learning first?

Hi Anon,

There’s no set thing to start learning first. Everyone starts somewhere and it’s basically based on individual circumstances and preferences. I used to write stories when I was little, which could be interpreted as my first taste of screenwriting. I also had a cheap digital camera that I would set on a tripod and direct my friends for little sketches. Later, I started making films more seriously and got a hold of editing software for cheap. That’s how I started, but it’s different for everyone.

If your looking for where you should start, my advice would be to start with what your interested in. If you like writing, try screenwriting. If you like directing or cinematography, grab a camera and some friends and start filming. Some people start with basic recording and editing, such as filming weddings, taking graduation photography, or making montage videos of family vacations.

I recommend checking out some online sources to learn some film basics, such as youtube channels. The following posts may be helpful:
