1st, you need to buy and editing book.

2nd, you need to buy a shit load of porn and watch it with a stop watch.(something you like)

3rd, you need to time every shot in every scene abd see how long the shots are being held. You will start to see a pattern.

4th, you need to time how long every position is held.

5th, you need to learn what the positions are and count how many are used per scene.

6th, you need to buy a lighting book and learn how to light before you actually do 1,2,3,4, and 5.



7th, I can do this all day long for 10 pages do you really thing its right for someone else to do all of you research and work for you?


I highly recommend you find someone who is good and work for them for free for a year or 2. So you can learn hands on. Thats what i did. I put my time in with 2 directors, 2 different photographers and read 80+ books on, lighting for video, lighting for stills, strobe lighting, editing video, organizing video systems, editing photos, CS2, CS3, CS4, ETC.


Not trying to be a dick, but is it fair for someone to post a how to book for shooting content when it is so obvious you haven't done any research??

If you ever have 1 or 2 questions to help you out, im down, so is everyone else, but to do all of the research for you is lame.


Good luck with learning what you need to learn

I've been doing research for the better part of several months. I don't expect you to do my homework for me. Don't presume to know how much or how little research I've done. The purpose of the thread is to get the experienced opinions and the do's and don't's of people that are currently knee deep in the industry, to either validate or completely debunk any book smarts I've acquired and to try and learn from other peoples mistakes. Even a simple comment like 'from my experience, <this or that> is poor quality' or 'don't bother with <whatever>, it's total rubbish to work with' is useful because then an individual has the opportunity to investigate what either made the statement true or why it's false.

<sarcasm>But damn, that's right, I must not have done any research because I'm here asking for your opinions. God knows everything I've ever read in a book just worked 100% of the time exactly the way they said it would. Why even bother asking anyone what their experiences were with certain mixes of equipment or certain types of software.</sarcasm>


Thanks for the useful info that you were kind enough to post. I'm sure it will help anyone that reads through the thread that hasn't done their research.
