I have been a Cinematographer (18 yrs) and Director (7 yrs) for over 25 years. I found these 2 DVDs (set) extremely helpful and enlightening in figuring out complex scene shooting. When one has a scene to shoot with 3 or more actors things can get really hairy and a good director would want to shoot this type of scene with as few shots as possible. Using a "moving master" and 1 or two more moving medium or close-ups while moving the actors around in the scene one can create amazingly efficiently shot scenes. These two instructional DVDs are very helpful in learning how to do that.
Grade A". Very infomative, cut to the chase easy to understand, great directotor.
The whole series of Hollywood Camera Work (6 DVDs in all) is a must for cinematographers. It provides you with an understanding on how to use the camera for perspective, composition, blocking, and ultimately, editing and shooting your final product. It also explains the logic behind camera angles, camera movement, and focus. You will be grateful that you invested the time in watching it.
Although the "key Frames" concept is important, the set-ups that this DVD suggests are mostly impractical and require the dolly and actors movement to coincide, rather than the illusion that camera is directed by actor movement. The audience will see right through these set-ups- and despite what the authors may claim, are not necessarily time-saving. Do yourself a favor- hire a qualified dolly grip who can do compound moves on dance floor, and experienced DoP and Camera Operator.
Very good. I like it and it really helped me to understand making movies. Thank you.
This one of the best video resources for both beginners and professionals that are looking to perfect their directing and cinematography skills. With a very comprehensive look into the world of Hollywood style camera movements. This tutorial covers all aspects of dollying, trucking etc... this DVD is highly recommended for all those who wish to have a more cinematic look to thir camera movements.

Outstanding, in it's ability to connect shots and limit editing. I have sat in many editing bays trying to continue the scene. This has filled the missing gaps of covering and constructing a scene from A-Z.
The most useful instructional video I've ever seen. Wow.
