The FAQ to my old website (I really do get asked...
Q: Who are you exactly?
A: My name is Roland Ziemke, I was born in (removed) on the (removed) of September in 1981...
Q: Yes, yes, I know all that. What is it that you do, I mean?
A: So, why didn't you just ask what I do?
Q: What?
A: Nevermind, what I do is a little bit of everything. I don't like the word 'artist' it sounds
too pretentious. I don't like terms like 'video artist' or 'media artist' or 'videographer' and
'graphic designer' sounds like beating around the bush. I guess to apply a general term to what
I do, I guess I would say I'm a filmmaker. I mean, I write, direct, produce, design, illustrate,
storyboard, film, phtograph, edit, and even compose. I'm capable of doing most of those things
on their own, but more often than not I do them all at once.
Q: So you're a filmmaker?
A: Yes.
Q: How many Oscars have you won?
A: ....well, none.
Q: Nominations?
A: None as well.
Q: But you said you're a filmmaker....
A: I'm not that kind of filmmaker.
Q: So what kind of filmmaker are you?
A: ....The kind who doesn't win Oscars.
Q: So you're not a real filmmaker then?
A: Can you elaborate on 'real'?
Q: What does 'elaborate' mean?
A: It means, do you have any questions not based on a false premise that occupations are
defined by awards? Or that 'Who' means 'What' for that matter?
desidesidesi asked: I was talking to a friend about our RP and the habit of 1 PC to sleep naked so he'd never be robbed. He soon was and we were told about it from the thieves (We became friends later.) He and I argued if a girl NPC saw his bits or not. I told him that a male NPC walked in first and the girl didn't see b/c he said, "Don't go in there. Naked Dick." To which a friend asked if...
desidesidesi asked: To which I replied, "I... have to google search that now, don't I?" and did. Does that answer your question that you tried to drive away from? :D
