INTRODUCTION
TRANSITIONING INTO MOTION: WHY AND WHY NOW?
Most photographers transitioning into motion are overwhelmed by the steep learning curve associated with new topics, techniques, gear, workflows, and terms. There are certainly a lot of new things to learn, but there’s no need to tackle everything at once, and I believe it isn’t even possible.
You should understand the fundamental elements of cinema and explore a wide selection of tools to plan a shoot, move the camera, capture audio, and edit your work. It’s great to learn how to avoid common filmmaking mistakes and create more rewarding and profitable business opportunities. But you can’t do it all at once. Like with any other craft, it takes time to master the tools and techniques.
