Go From Amateur to Good – Or Good to Great – in Minutes
The world is drowning in video, and most of it sucks. Even though almost everyone carries a pocket video device 24/7, almost nobody knows how to use it well.
How to Shoot Video that Doesn’t Suck teaches you how to shoot video that people will actually want to watch. I’m a Hollywood director who’s written, directed and produced everything from videos to commercials to TV and Feature Film. I know that the secret to great video isn’t new equipment or the latest tech. It’s how you communicate with your audience. I’ll teach you to think like a director so that your video does what you want it to do– and gets watched.
