Since 1989 I've made a living making video and teaching other people how they can too. This website is my place to share some of the secrets of success that I've picked up along the way. Whether you're just getting started or working as a production pro, I hope you'll find information here that's useful to you as a video producer, shooter, editor... even if you find yourself in front of the camera from time to time. Here you'll find a collection of video production Tips & TermsArticles with more in-depth video production techniques and insights, links to Instructional Videos, and a list of Links to other cool & interesting video production sites. Please share this page with friends, co-workers, crew, students, video volunteers... anyone interested in making better video. -- Thanks for visiting the site! Whether the information you find here teaches you something new or reminds you of something you already knew, my hope is that you'll be inspired to make great video. ~cp
