Just so you know, my first project won an Aegis corporate video award in the low-budget category. I am applying things from your course. Thanks again!

Your Corporate Producers material helped me to bid & close this 1.5 hr training video. So your teleprompter will get a work out too.

I just signed an agreement with a corporation for a $5,000 video! So far your course has already paid for itself many times over! Thanks again.

We’ve been in the biz since 1979 and yet found a number of new tricks in your course that will make us more money.

NOWHERE have I found more comprehensive, nuts and bolts information that clearly explains the inner workings of the business as your course does.

I was lucky to stumble upon a mentor who distills years of learning and hard-won successes that even a neophyte can put into practice. Hal Landen’s course is well worth every penny.

Ten Commandments of DV Editing

1. Thou shalt not screw up thy client’s job.
2. Thou shalt not record in LP mode, lest ye receiveth thy glitch.
3. Thou shalt not mix tape brands, nor shalt thou allowest them to intermingle freely, lest ye recieveth thy glitch.
4. Honor thy Alimighty Vectorscope and thy Almighty Waveform Monitor, for in Darkness and in Light art thou guided by them.
5. Thou shalt not covet thy scene transition for the sake of vanity, but shalt thou cut with reason and purpose, and only then, keeping thy transitions modest.
6. Thou shalt have thy proper subject on screen at the proper time, thy speaker when he speaketh, thy reactor when he reacteth, thy glance and then thy object.
7. Thou shalt not cross axis.
8. Cast down thy recording tabs and breaketh them, and if thy tabs slideth, and not breaketh, then shalt thee slidith thy tabs into the “save” position, so that thine precious video might then be saved from eternal loss.
9. Loggeth thee thy master tapes, and with marked labels shalt thee cover them, for their nakedness is sinful.
10 Thou shalt not linger too long in black, lest thy viewer kick his TV set reproachfully, thinking it hath conked out again.
