What’s up Viva Las Vegas…always something exciting happening in Vegas…and certainly the case at the Blackmagic Booth this year I meet the one and only Roy Wagner(and of course his precious lil guy:). Well in truth I should probably back up a bit. The first time I actually got to know of Roy was back in June of 2015. It was a wonderful Hot Summer day I was attending CineGear and after getting around to some of the booths and ended up walking into a preso with Roy. I of course knew his films he worked on but didn’t Know Roy yet. I say yet cause what I am about to share blew me away. Being someone without any real formal training in Film I was really intrigued by his story. I did reach out to Roy to see if he would fact check this since it’s been like 4 year. Unfortunately I didn’t hear back so I’ll make this short and sweet. If I recall the story Roy like me is a lover of movie. I too like to watch the credits roll and see how many talented people it takes to make a movie. So what was really cool to hear is that Roy say as a young boy he would also watch the film credits. But he took it one step farther. I believe he said he got into a phone book and just started to look up and start calling some of the people in the credits. He was talking to working hollywood professionals and to make the story short. He ended up getting on set and by the sound of it learned by getting around. I thought man…this is just the kind of thing that could work…and in this case 50+ years later…now he’s the one in front of everyone sharing his experiences. I always love to hear about how people got into film. Way back it wasn’t as easy to get in and around it. It goes to show though the ones who think out of the box and typically the ones doing amazing things. So that’s just a quick note. I’ll let you meet Roy like I did and you can ask him for yourself how it went down…but below is a photo from his awesome in depth presentation.
