Camerawork Tips from Gustavo Mercado
The most important lesson I have learned in every shoot I have ever been in is that it is virtually impossible to overprepare for a production.

In an ideal world filmmaking is like a continual adult education class where you are constantly learning and improving your craft and team skills.

Use GarageBand to Create an Original Soundtrack for Your Film
We all know that sound and music can elevate a good film to, well, a better film. Your teacher told you it is illegal to copyrighted music without permissions. (You need two, but that is another story.) It is great if you can work with a musician to create something original, or you can just do it yourself. If you have a Mac, GarageBand is sitting there waiting to be used, and you don't need lots of musical ability to create a track.

Prewriting Your Screenplay with Michael Tabb
First and foremost, every writer has to find his or her own writing method that works best for him or her.

I have a method that works great for me and is endorsed by some of the best and most successful screenwriters in the business. I have written for Universal, Disney, producers at Warner Brothers, and I still say any writer has to do what works for his or her brain and gets creativity sizzling.
