a LOT better at video

LOVE Kodaks as they

can do both really well

Walk into an electronics store

They’ll often be happy to give it

free of charge

#winning attitude

Smiles always win!

Rubber Band Technology

Or: One Take Wonders

Put one foot in front of you and one

behind you to create a more solid

stance

Bring your elbows as close to your rib

cage as possible

Use both hands to hold camera

Don't move! Don't attempt panning

unless you're confident in your video

skills. It's more important to have a

solid-looking, single shot message

from than a large pan shot

Strike a Pose

Tic-tac-toe for a winning shot!

And don’t get stuck in the middle!

Here comes the sun, little darlin’

Natural is better

Just like grade school, don’t look at it!

Be a paparazzo

Fast fingers get great shots!

Rock Steady

Zoom, Zoom (not for speed)

Don’t focus on the big picture
