I seem to have spent more time making short films for people than anything else in recent years. I really like it. It’s never one of those skills that many researchers feel is necessary to getting through their PhD. The research kind of takes priority. But when they are tasked with public engagement, few want to talk to people in person. This leaves filming a good substitute.
To help them along, I deliver hands-on training on how to make films. Over the years, I’ve taken all the collected experience and notes and jumbled it into a document. It began as a document for undergraduates to use, has become updated, and has now become a giant of a thing. That said, the way tech moves on, it’s probably already out of date.
Anyway, you can read it here, or download it using the bottom beneath it.
There is no charge for this, as I use it for teaching reference as part of my paid employment. I have used images I have sourced for purposes of teaching, and will make no commercial gain from this. If I have used any of your images in it, then thank you; there are many students who will learn from your contribution. I have received free, I am giving it freely. Enjoy.
