Introducing Screencasts

Posted by Jason on March 13th, 2009


Great movies start with great footage. It’s the foundation editors need to be able to work their magic. Because as the saying goes, you can’t polish a turd (unless you’re the Mythbusters, of course).

It’s important to understand how your camera works, so you can capture the kind of footage editors typically only dream of. These screencasts focus on filming and lighting techniques that will enable you to get the most out of your camera. Whether you’re a beginner or somebody looking to brush up on your shooting skills, you’re sure to find something that will help you turn your home videos into quality productions.

The first screencast covers shutter speed, and how to use it effectively in different lighting situations. If there’s something I left out of the original video, or if there’s another area of filmmaking you’d like to see covered, please let me know.
