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.  |
All of the books i listed above and skills i got from reading them really gave me a serious edge over a lot of my competition. The cool thing about this board, i have become pretty good friends with a lot of my competition.
Everything i learned from reading i tried out on set. You need to just do it, then bring the questions on one or two particular aspects of your shoot to the boards. People will definitely point out in the right direction.
Everything i posted earlier will definitely give you a start.
