Tips and General Help
If you want to use a camera, you must have a
shot list or a script that is annotated with shots!
Rather than working on our current project until
you are 'done', you are now required to work on it
until we move on to the next project as a class.
It is never perfect.
There are always improvements that can be made.
We will explore image upscalers to improve resolution.
