TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 theres no need to tackle everything at once, and I believe it isnt 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. Its great to learn how to avoid common filmmaking mistakes and create more rewarding and profitable business opportunities. But you cant do it all at once. Like with any other craft, it takes time to master the tools and techniques.

You can take a few technical tutorials and get some decent footage right away, without really understanding anything about the history, styles, and trends of cinema. And you can read inspirational books and watch beautiful movies for years without actually shooting a single frame. I believe a proper balance of both approaches is the key to success.

Most film schools dont teach students how to tackle projects with skeleton crews and micro budgets, which is how most of us start working in the real world. Also, if you learn how to shoot like everybody else, you will tell stories like everybody else.

After almost a decade of working as a professional photographer I made the - photo 4

After almost a decade of working as a professional photographer, I made the transition to motion. How? I tried to learn as many technical skills as possible by watching tutorials, reading books, and checking out equipment reviews. I also watched hundreds of directors commentaries on DVDs, read interviews, and listened to podcasts. I had a demanding shooting and teaching schedule, so I made time to write short scripts on weeknights, teamed up with like-minded people on weekends to shoot something, and learned how to edit while working on that same footage. I made everything available for others to see our work, provide feedback, and hopefully learn from our many mistakes and sporadic successes. I invested time and a few dollars on equipment rentals. Was it worth it? Well, I keep learning every day, Im having more fun than ever before, and I picked up an Emmy Award along the way, so Id say its definitely been worth it.

Ive learned that technical challenges as well as financial and time - photo 5

Ive learned that technical challenges, as well as financial and time constraints, often lead to the discovery of better tools and improved workflows. Use these challenges to your advantage. Working with shoestring budgets, small crews, and just a few essential tools without compromising the integrity of the story is not only possible, but it is becoming an increasingly important skill to have to succeed in todays marketplace.

Heres the advice I give to photographers and filmmakers attending my workshops: learn video editing, color grading, and sound design using free applications like iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, and GarageBand. Then learn how to code (which you can do online and for free). Reply to all of your emails and phone calls within 24 hours. Understand basic accounting concepts like overhead, ROI, and cash flow. Never stop improving your social skills. Work hard, experiment, dig deeper, share your knowledge, and surround yourself with creative, positive, and reliable people.
