Many still shooters make the same mistake when jumping over to video – they only think about the camera and the shoot. When this happens, what quickly follows is mild to severe panic when they realize that audio is even more important than the visual and post-production is video is far different than in stills. On top of that, if you shoot video like a still photographer – you’ll want to kick yourself when you get in the editing room.
The good news is there are plenty of resources when embracing these various skills and learning curves than when I started shooting video over ten years ago.
Here’s a few great sites, listservs and blogs that you should bookmark:
