In early 2011, I decided it was time for me to get in the game. Once on the playing field, though, I found out that the rules are different from what I’m used to as a stills photographer. I was about to learn video production the hard way.

Let me tell you my story, so that you can learn from my mistakes - and from the things that I did right.

Nice post. That is definitely the hard way to learn video, but they jumped in with the right equipment.

Just goes to show, it's not just great equipment that helps create a dynamic story and captivating concept.

No doubt. I cringed when I thought of trying to go through all the random footage.
